Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Dukkah-Crusted Blackened Salmon is packed with flavor, easy to make, and perfect for weeknight dinner.
How often to you eat salmon? A few years back, my doctor told me to eat it once or twice a week to try to improve my “good” HDL cholesterol, and for a while I was on top of my game!…
This paleo Seared Salmon with Fresh Cherry and Charred Poblano Chopped Salad makes perfect use of sweet, in-season cherries for a fresh new way to dress up dinner. When I don’t feel like cooking but I still want to eat clean, salmon is what usually comes to my weeknight dinnertime rescue. It cooks up in a matter of minutes on the stovetop, and is a great base flavor just waiting to be dressed up any number of ways....
Seared Salmon and Lemon Aioli with Red Potato, Asparagus, and Collard Green Hash showcases fresh, simple flavors and proves that hash is the perfect meal for any time of day! I might be in the minority, but Im one of those people who thoroughly enjoys grocery shopping; selecting fresh produce, looking through my favorite items like loose leaf tea and the cheese case, and finding new products to try makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop. The thing is, some weeks Im so pressed for time that even something I would normally enjoy seems like a huge chore....
This 20-Minute Thai-Inspired Summer Vegetable Curry with Seared Salmon makes the perfect weeknight summer meal. It’s amazing how much technique effects the final outcome when you’re cooking. The mere thought of green beans made me gag as a kid until I had them for dinner at a friend’s house and realized they aren’t inherently mush. (Sorry, Mom…you were notorious for overcooking the beans!) I disliked fried eggs until I learned how to cook them so that the whites are set and the yolks are runny. (The only thing worse than chalky overcooked egg yolk is icky undercooked egg white goop…ugh.) And I thought I hated fish […]...
Happy Spring, friends! I hope you’re able to enjoy spring-like weather and get outside for some fresh air today to celebrate. Or if the weather isn’t quite so spring-like where you are, go make a nice big leafy green salad with tons of fruit and veggies…it’s guaranteed to make you happy!...
We all know not to go grocery shopping hungry. Why do I try to defy the laws of nature and not heed this rule? A while ago I was shopping on an empty stomach, foolishly thinking I was immune to impulse buys. I was zipping around the store, only grabbing items on my list. I guess I got a little too cocky....
I don’t really consider myself a clean freak, but I guess if the shoe fits. Or if she walks like a duck and talks like a duck…or in this case, if she feels the need to clean daily whether the apartment needs it or not… Ok, I guess you can go ahead and call me a clean freak (my husband already does). Which is why I’m appalled to say we had an ant issue not too long ago. (Ok, that’s a little dramatic. But I was at the very least surprised.) And to make matters worse, one day I heard one of our elderly lady […]...
A couple years ago, Mike and I were at a pretty spiffy hotel in New York City; one morning Mike had to leave early for a meeting. I was debating between a workout, bubble bath, and breakfast. Being in New York and being the bagel-lover that I am, breakfast won out. There were a couple of delis not even a block away, but left to my own devices, I ordered room service: an espresso and a lox bagel. (Since then I’ve smartened up and generally choose the deli to satiate my cravings.)...
I hope everyone’s New Year is off to a wonderful start! With so many people making resolutions to get healthier, I thought this would be the perfect time to share a recipe that is as nourishing and healthy as it is delicious. It’s the kind of meal you’d get in a spa for lunch if you were taking the whole day to pamper yourself....
It isn’t always easy to get fresh produce into our diets. I get it…some of us have kids (or husbands, not that I’m naming names) who only like certain fruits and veggies and refuse don’t like to try new things. Short of force-feeding, what’s a veggie-loving girl to do?...
