3-Ingredient Chuck Roast in Foil

Flavorful, fork tender meat with ease…and your kitchen will smell amazing! This hands-off recipe has been a longtime favorite in our family, and it might just make the regular rotation at your house, too.    Last September, my husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary. When I think about that number, it’s sort of shocking…

Sheet Pan Dinner: Roasted Chicken, Potatoes and Artichokes

Quick to prep and family friendly, this all-in-one meal is a weeknight gift that relies on pantry staples. The optional quinoa recipe pairs well, but a simple side salad will also round out the meal.    After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, a break from cooking would suit many of us just fine.…

Baked Denver Omelet

Similar to a frittata, this baked omelet can be mixed in one bowl and requires no sautéing prior to baking. It’s a super speedy meal that is perfect with your favorite deli ham or leftover baked ham.  There’s a special appeal to a recipe that mixes up in a single bowl. Who isn’t thrilled at…

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Protein-rich beans replace the cream in this flavorful soup, creating exceptional texture and staying power.    Just before Thanksgiving, my older son endured the displeasure of jaw surgery. To eliminate additional procedures down the road, he had his wisdom teeth pulled, too. Lucky boy. In the week or so that followed, pureed or very soft…

Spinach Pomegranate Salad with Vanilla Vinaigrette

As satisfying as it is beautiful, this vibrant salad is worthy of a holiday table or paired with a simple protein any night of the week! When I originally shared my Autumn Salad with Nancy’s Sweet and Tangy Dressing, my friend, Christine, mentioned that she serves a similar salad with a vanilla vinaigrette.  Christine said…

Chipotle Maple Sweet Potato Soup

My good friend, Sonali, is an ER physician, wife and mother of an adorable toddler.  In her “spare” time, she authors The Foodie Physician blog and writes cookbooks.  (I know what you’re thinking…I don’t think she sleeps!)  Sonali kindly asked to include several of my Greek yogurt-inspired recipes in her recently published The Greek Yogurt…

Roasted Root Veggie Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

The easy vinaigrette is key to memorable flavor in this endlessly adaptable, jewel-toned salad. A favorite protein makes it a complete meal.   Think of all the people you see regularly, but only in passing. People with whom you may exchange friendly banter but never have the time to really know. Maybe it’s your faithful…

Slow Cooker Spicy Mango Chicken Chili

A couple of Sundays ago, this recipe appeared in my weekly newspaper column.  A few days later, I received an email from Jane from Mrs. Renfro’s salsa company thanking me for mentioning their product.  As a thoughtful gesture, she offered to send me any four of their products.  I truly love the flavor and ingredients…

Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Skillet

All the flavor of traditional cabbage rolls in one easy pot – or skillet!   As the days grow shorter and the nights become colder, this is a meal we eat often. Comfort food for all the right reasons. It’s an economical, one-pan meal that can be assembled quickly and left to simmer. Hearty yet…

Grilled Chicken Kabobs

First, I must apologize to the readers who have subscribed to receive recipe posts via email. Yesterday, I inadvertently sent a draft of this post.   Although I am sure to make an occasional ‘woops’ (my family would tease that I make them daily!), it is truly my goal not to send pointless emails. The…

Barbecued Bean Salad

A crowd-pleasing, family-friendly alternative to baked beans, this protein-rich salad can be prepared in advance and the flavor improves over time.   As I walked to school with my younger son one morning last month, he mentioned that his 6th grade history class’s Colonial unit would be culminating with a special lunch. All students were…

Big Batch Bacon Horseradish Broccoli Salad

I adore broccoli.  It doesn’t even have to be fancy.  Simply steamed or raw and dipped in homemade ranch dressing, it’s all good.  Where broccoli salad is concerned, I have a special bond.  But in order to make me really swoon, this salad must meet high standards! The following recipe is one of a few…
