Cilantro and Lime is a classic flavor profile that I love and can be used on so many things, from meats to veggies. It’s my go to marinade for grilled chicken. I paired the chicken with a simple fresh salsa for an easy, healthy, and delicious meal thats quick enough for a weeknight dinner, but […]
Beef Barley Soup for Stove top or Slow Cooker
Yum And, just like that, it’s soup season. The beauty of soup? You can really make a soup out of anything you have on hand. It’s a great way to clean out your refrigerator or pantry and to get more veggies into your kids. And it can be made ahead of time or in your […]
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 […]
Lightened up Chicken Piccata
Yum Capers…I love capers in anything! And like Mother, like Daughter. One of Isabella’s favorite, most requested dinner is Chicken Piccata. Most piccata recipes have a ton of calories and fat. My version of this classic dish is a lightened up Chicken Piccata. It is a much healthier, lighter version without sacrificing the taste. We […]
Boneless Chicken breasts with Peppers
Need an idea for a quick and healthy dinner tonight? Made this chicken with peppers and everyone loved it! 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil 3 bell peppers thinly sliced (I like to use the organic bell pepper trio from Trader Joe’s) 2 large garlic cloves, chopped 4 organic skinless boneless chicken […]
