Ever since this burger, I have been obsessed with grilling pineapple. The other night I decided to grill a few slices and add it to a black bean taco. It was perfecto. I also added some cabbage, half a chopped yellow tomato, a dash (read full article)
This pasta salad is easy and healthy. Just use whatever veggies you have on hand. I had carrots, cucumbers, and arugula, so that's what I used. I am loving pasta salads lately. They can be done in so many ways and are so great for t (read full article)
I love stuffed pastas. When presented with the option of fresh ravioli, it is always my ordering choice at Italian restaurants. For this recipe I used a basic tri-color cheese tortellini, but feel free to use any type you like or have on hand.This re (read full article)
You can make this salad with frozen corn, but fresh corn is so good and sweet and inexpensive right now that I would advise going with the fresh stuff.This dish can be eaten as a salsa or as a salad or in tacos. It is healthy, easy, and perfect for a (read full article)
A few years ago, I ate with my sister at a Costa Rican restaurant in Chicago and had a mashed sweet potato dish. The dish consisted of mashed sweet potatoes and lemon and rosemary marinated asparagus and hearts of palm that were grilled. (read full article)
Lately, I have been craving pasta, especially fresh pasta. Fresh pasta is so much more decadent than pasta from a box. It has a smooth buttery texture and goes great with simple, no fuss sauces like the one I made last night. I love these types of li (read full article)
I received a bunch of radishes in my CSA box last week and now I think I am a radish addict! I ate the ones I received and bought more. I love how they are spicy and crunchy and watery....all at the same time. For this salad, I pair (read full article)
I bought some ravioli a few days ago for something and ended up not using it, so I had two packs of cheese ravioli in my fridge that I needed to use. I also had tons of veggies (zucchini, spinach, and bell peppers) so I decided to make a v (read full article)
I have been slacking on my food posts for about the past month and I am sorry!I again have company in town, so I am busy. However, I have been cooking a little bit. The other night I made a simple roast pork tenderloin with this zucchini (read full article)
Ever since I had the genius idea of making a quinoa and arugula salad with the flavors of my favorite beef carpaccio dish, I have been obsessed. I quickly devoured the 5 servings of quinoa and arugula salad (in three days…) and wanted more.I don’ (read full article)
This salad reminds me of one of my most favorite Italian dishes, Beef Carpaccio, minus the beef. I guess beef is the essence of Beef Carpaccio, but I was going for something healthier and I didn't have any beef, so I took out the beef and (read full article)
If you are a consistent reader of this blog, you might be sick of all the spinach I have been using. If that’s the case, I am sorry! It is cheap and healthy and due to a little snafu with the IRS, I need all the cheap foods I can get.I used frozen (read full article)

Since I had a lot of fun in Colorado (fun = eating and drinking everything) I decided to make a healthy, vegetable packed dish that I could eat for the next few days. I considered this to be sort of a cleansing dish. I went with Mexican-esque (read full article)
Last weekend, I was back in Cincinnati and I went with some of my favorite people to an Asian restaurant called Shanghai Mama’s. This place is friendly, inexpensive, and a great place for sharing. I have always thought it was a "tapas" (read full article)
For this chili I used vegan ground "beef" and I was impressed (I used Yves Ground Round Original). I was a vegetarian for years, so I consider myself a bit of a fake meat connoisseur. I have tried many different products an (read full article)
A friend of mine recently tried the Blueprint Cleanse and liked it. What she didn't like was the big price tag and the fact that it had to travel all the way from New York City to San Diego. I mentioned that I had done a ho (read full article)
