Blueberry Coconut Almond Baked Oatmeal
For added ease, prepare this filling casserole the night before and gently reheat in the morning. Serve as is or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of milk. If you donโt care for coconut, simply omit it from the recipe. Flipping through my timeworn recipe box is like a…
Easy Taco Chicken Foil Packets
This great tasting, all-in-one meal is easy to prepare and quick to cleanup. For added convenience, the family-friendly packets may be assembled several hours in advance and refrigerated until ready to bake. My mom could have been the original queen of 30-minute meals. At 5:30 every night, she made her way to the kitchen…
Microwave Kettle Corn
To say that popcorn is a favorite snack in our house would be an enormous understatement. My husband enjoys a bowlful nearly every night as dessert. If our sons are nearby, it’s guaranteed that a second round of popping will follow. My mother-in-law gave us a microwave air popper well over 10 years ago. It’s…
Prosciutto Wrapped Pan Seared Halibut (or Tilapia, Flounder, etc.)
No need to sacrifice flavor for the sake of simplicity with this speedy meal, which is as effortless to cook for one person as it is a crowd. As I was sizing up a new machine at the gym the other day, a man headed toward the ellipticals kindly mentioned that he enjoys seeing me…
Super Healthy Nut & Seed Bread
Two slices of this deliciously hearty, satisfying bread and a side of fruit is one of my new favorite ways to start the day. ย I’ve been enjoying it on and off for several months now and, from the start, what surprised me the most was how long it kept me feeling truly full. This recipe…
Parmesan Cauliflower Rice
A short list of ingredients and quick cooking time add to the appeal of this flavorful, low-carb side dish. Pre-riced cauliflower offers a convenient shortcut! When I was a kid, noodles meant spaghetti, lasagna, macaroni or occasionally ziti, and rice meant plain old white (sometimes the minute variety). These days, a plethora of vegetables…
Sautรฉed Asparagus with Crispy Prosciutto and Parmesan
Three key ingredients turn this much-loved seasonal vegetable into a standout side dish โ in about 10 minutes! I think we talked recently about low effort, high reward recipes. Add this one to that coveted list! The funny thing is, when I looked back to see which recipe I described that way, there were so…
Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps
Light yet satisfying and loaded with flavor, Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps are easy to make, fun to eat, and offer advance-prep options. A few months ago, my friend, Jen, was one short week into the Whole30 program when she found herself in need of some inspiration. She was desperate for satisfying recipes that would…
Homemade Chai Concentrate (for iced or hot chai lattes)
To all the coffee drinkers out there, stay with me! 😀 When my teenagers took a liking to iced chai lattes from our neighborhood coffee shop a few years ago, I figured it was time to come up with an economical DIY version. While it may require a trip to the market in…
Baked Mustard Crusted Salmon with Shallots
Don’t you love a recipe that’s easy enough to pull off on a busy weeknight but special enough for company? This is one of those meals. Though it looks and sounds somewhat gourmet, the prep couldn’t be easier and the results are consistently impressive. Plus salmon’s abundant supply of omega-3s make this dish heart healthy–and…
Chocolate Caramel Matzo Brittleย
Sweet, salty, and crunchy, this traditional Passover treat will be a crowdpleaser any time of year! Good recipes have roots in the most unexpected places. Standing on the sidelines of a lacrosse game last year, the grandmother of my sonโs good buddy and teammate mentioned a seasonal recipe she likes to make for family…
Cheeseburger Pita Pizzas
“I have more than enough quick-and-easy dinner recipes.” Said no one ever! Without a doubt, the need to keep the quickies coming is feedback that I receive often…and the irony on how much time I spend working to make meals that are not only fast, but healthy and delicious, isn’t lost on me! A handful…
