Southern-Style Collard Greens and Kale
In this week’s produce coop delivery, we received collard greens and kale, so I decided to make them Southern style, slow cooked with pork bones. While I did not have a ham hock for a truly authentic dish, I had bones from on the bone pork chops that I had cut off the bone for […]

Bananas Foster
I love this New Orleans treat, but I decided to try to make it a little healthier. The dessert was so quick to pull together. It was super tasty with my simple replacements. While I made the sauce healthier, I served it over vanilla ice cream.

It is a perfect well-rounded one dish meal because it combines protein, vegetables, starch, and dairy. These stuffed peppers include many hidden veggies and lean ground turkey or chicken. If you […]

The Red Salad
As the one year anniversary of the Game of Thrones finale was this week, I felt inspired to honor one of the show’s top-rated episodes (you know, unlike the finale) with this delicious summer salad. The roasted beets combine well with the balsamic vinegar and sweet strawberries. It is truly a red salad as the […]
