I was looking for a simplified recipe for a classic birthday cake that didn’t require three different bowls and beating egg whites. This recipe fit my criteria and was delicious. I cannot bring myself to put 1 1/2 cup of sugar in a single recipe so I reduced to 1 cup and no one missed […]

Eggplant Ragu on Quinoa

Who knew eggplant could be yummy? It’s probably my least favorite vegetable, but this recipe makes an un-favorite veggie into a delicious meal! I serve it over CMF Quinoa, or if time allows, I make quinoa “cakes”. The quinoa cakes are a great breakfast option, so I make enough go have for dinner and breakfast: […]

Easter Fruit Cookie

Fruit on a cookie, so fun to make!The first time my mini-chef M made was rather stressful. She wanted to do it her way. I quickly realized my then-four-year-old has her own creative instinct. It was a sloppy “Easter Egg” but she was so proud of it, and it was delicious. Since then, this has […]

One-Pan Pesto Crusted Fish with Asparagus and New Potatoes

Pretty colors, wonderful flavor and texture, AND nutrient-rich. This recipe also reduces the number of prepping bowls, pots and pans in preparing dinner, truly a one-dish meal.

Healthy Plant-Rich Enchiladas

I tend to avoid Tex-Mex food because it is so heavy and leaves me feeling like I’ve eaten a tank. Then I made Sweet Potato Enchiladas from Oh She Glows cookbook and I discovered crazy delicious, digestible enchiladas. Casting about for something to take to a friend’s house for the Superbowl today, enchiladas seemed to […]

Dips make a great sandwich or wrap spread, simply add shredded carrots, spinach (or other green like arugula, baby kale etc) and a sprinkle of pumpkin or sunflower seeds It’s also an easy appetizer, served […]

White Bean and Kale Stew

I may be a little obsessed with nutrient-dense foods and repeating over and over again how greens, beans and onions are an immune-boosting power cocktail, but putting aside repetition, this soup is flavorful and sticks to the ribs. Variations: Add other vegetables (bell pepper, a turnip, maybe a cup of chopped broccoli or cauliflower) depending […]
