As we enter into our fourth week of staying at home, we all find ourselves cooking all the time. The questions of “What’s for dinner” has taken on a whole new meaning and frankly, it can be stressful trying to figure out what to cook all day every day. As we try to stay home […]
Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry
Yum Stir fry’s are a great, easy way to get dinner on the table during the week-FAST. And another beauty of them is that you can really use whatever you have in your fridge. I often make stir fry’s when I have a bunch of produce that I need to use up before it goes […]
Skinny Shrimp Scampi
Yum Who doesn’t love shrimp scampi? Butter, garlic, more butter…what’s not to like? I don’t usually count calories in what I cook-I’m more of the mindset of eating real food is better than eating the fake stuff that contains chemicals and other stuff you don’t want. So, eat the real butter but in moderation. Traditional […]
Simple Grilled Ahi Tuna Steaks
Yum Is there something that you love but only eat out at a restaurant? I love Ahi Tuna , but was always afraid to make it at home. My last trip to whole foods I found it on sale and decided I was going to do it. As with most things, I find that simple […]
Dairy Free White Bean Soup with Shrimp and Kale
Yum Let’s talk soup. Winter is definitely here in Brooklyn! It’s no secret that I’m not much of a Winter fan, but I do love a good soup when it’s cold outside. My husband has been asking me to make a version of a white bean and shrimp soup that he had at a New […]
Lentil soup with sausage and acorn squash
Yum And just like that its soup weather here in NY. I made this over the weekend and it was a huge hit! We love lentils in our house and I’m always trying to come up with new recipes using what’s in season. For me that means whatever I get in my CSA package or […]
Grilled Swordfish Kebabs
When the weather starts to get warmer, one of our favorite things to do is grill! We spend a lot of nights up on our rooftop grilling. Whether with friends or just on our own for a quick weeknight dinner, we love to eat outside and enjoy the view from our roof. One problem with […]
Penne with Cherry Tomatoes and Capers
Yum So, you know that awesome feeling when you know that dinner is in the slow cooker and you don’t have to scramble and figure out what to make for dinner when you get home? As long as you remembered to actually turn it on before you left the house? Which yesterday, I didn’t. […]
Carb Free Chicken Parmigiana
There was a restaurant in our neighborhood in Downtown Brooklyn that we used to go to before it closed last year. They had a chicken parmigiana that was different than the typical dish that you get at most places, and my husband loved it. Parmigiana is not something I typically cook and I never order […]
Pork chops with Lima Beans
A quick weeknight dinner. I used dried lima beans that I had cooked previously, but you can just as easily use frozen. A note on dried beans f any kind-I HIGHLY recommend them. Yes, they take some time to prepare, but you can do it in advance and even freeze them until you are ready […]
