One Skillet Salmon Dinner

Life gets busy.  But that doesn't mean its time to give up health eating habits and trade them in for a drive-thru meal.  There are plenty of ways to eat healthy in a hurry!

Simply Ancient Grains: Bulgur with Chard and Saffron-Infused Yogurt

My pantry is overflowing with delicious grains, each in its own mason jar for safekeeping.  I love their hearty earthiness, and that they're a healthy alternative to the more mainstream pasta or rice.  

Meatless Monday: Gardein 'Chicken' & Bleu Sweet Potato Mash

I couldn't be happier that the concept of Meatless Monday is taking hold across the country!  When we take a moment to think about it, each animal we consume eats thousands of plants and drinks thousands of gallons of water over its lifespan.  If we take a step up in the food chain and go  meatless, even if its only occasionally, it has a huge impact on the planet!  Every little bit counts.

Feta & Mint Grilled Sweet Potatoes

It's grilling season!  The best thing about grilling is that impressive meals are so very simple to make.  These Feta & Mint Grilled Sweet Potatoes are the perfect example!

We typically think of sweet potatoes in the Fall, but they're a fantastically healthy addition to a summer barbecue.  This recipe, with its fresh summer flavors, brings sweet potatoes front and center during grilling season and are a fun break from the typical steak-and-potatoes routine.

Strawberry Coconut Milkshake

Something about warm mornings makes me crave a creamy smoothie filled with fresh fruits and veggies.  Its the perfect tasty start to a day, and with all the nutrients packed into one yummy glass - a day that starts with a smoothie is bound to be a good one!

Weeknight Chicken with Spinach

A perfect weeknight meal for two!

This recipe is so, so simple, is inexpensive, and has the flavor of a much more elaborate dish.  Its a perfect healthy weeknight meal, and goes great served with rice.

Moroccan Chickpea and Vegetable Soup

Soups are great all year round, and this Moroccan Chickpea and Vegetable Soup is the perfect example of a soup that is crave-worthy in all the seasons.

French Almond Yogurt Cake with Pears

It seems like every French home I've visited has some version of this quick, tasty recipe taped to the inside of a cupboard door.  This is a simple dessert that is perfect for making together with the kids because the measuring is so wonderfully simple.

This version is topped with fresh pears, which adds a luxurious flavor and appearance to the cake.

Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream

We became absolutely addicted to Green Tea Ice Cream while living in Asia, and I'm thrilled to share with you this recipe to make it at home!

Making green tea ice cream at home couldn't be simpler!  It is so delicious - the perfect ending to a heavy meal - and is filled with all the great health benefits of Matcha Green Tea like:

Cheesy French Dill Omelette

The Holiday season is filled with occasions to come together, for long weekends and vacations with friends and family.  We were excited to host a French friend who came to stay with us this past weekend, and each morning we all came together at the table to share breakfast and start the day.

How to make homemade Almond Milk

Almond milk has always intrigued me.  How do these dry little nuts turn into a creamy drink? It is simple, actually!  Turning a handful of almonds into a bottle of healthy milky goodness takes just a few minutes with this recipe.

Nutty Homemade Granola

This granola is amazing sprinkled over yogurt.  We eat it for dessert!  Or, put a ribbon around the mason jar and it makes an adorable hostess, teacher, or DIY holiday gift.

Healthy Crock Pot Chicken and Pasta

After years as a purist, I've given in and bought a crockpot.  What in the world was I waiting for??  Put ingredients in a pot, and come home hours later to a piping hot, delicious meal - I'm sold.

Grow fresh green onions in the kitchen

I used to buy so many packs of green onions at the store.  Granted, they are inexpensive, but I would inevitably find a bag of soggy, wilted greens in the refrigerator after a week.  Yuck.  

The beauty of green onions is that they grow extremely easily.  And they grow directly from the grocery store's stems!  

Thyme Roasted Vegetables

A chill is in the air and time for preparing dinner is short.  The perfect evening for Thyme Roasted Vegetables!

French Peach Compote

When peaches are ripe and in abundance, there is nothing easier that a fresh peach compote to turn them into a healthy dessert!  This is a classic French recipe that is perfect for warm summer evenings.
