Chocolate Avocado Pudding 

I have seen many social media posts lately that are filled with ooey goey chocolate desserts and are filled with all the things I can’t eat. I am gluten-free and dairy-free, which makes desserts a little difficult for me. Plus, I would rather fill my body with something nutritious even though I love sweets. This…

Dijon Lemon Glazed Salmon 

Salmon is by far my favorite fish. I love it in so many ways… as sashimi, smoked, tartare, grilled, baked, poached and even canned. I am always looking for new ways to make it and recently I ate it in an Italian restaurant where it was dijon glazed. I was determined to recreate the recipe…

As walnuts are the nuts with…

Spinach & Sausage Egg White Bake

My husband and I just came back from our honeymoon to Greece. While away, we consumed at at least 2 large blocks of feta cheese per day. We ate so much of it that I came to think of it as part of my everyday meal and craved it when we did not have it….

Flourless Cinnamon Raisin Muffins

If you are a commuter like me, you need a quick breakfast in the morning… no time to waste. On a typical day, I wake up, jump out of bed, wash up, hit the coffee maker switch, throw on my clothes that I picked out the night before, grab my lunch from the fridge, grab…

Asparagus & Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Often, people think healthy means “less tasty.” There are so many ways to add flavor and replace unhealthy ingredients with nutritious ones that taste good!
