If you have leftover chicken, rice, or corn, dinner can be ready in just 35 minutes – with only 5 minutes of prep time. That gives you a half hour to yourself to do things like wash dishes, help with homework, or dare I say, relax! This is a great recipe to bring new life […]

Mojito
If you have a garden overflowing with fresh mint, you need to try this delicious cocktail. It perfectly combines lime juice and mint into a relaxing adult beverage. I traveled to Cuba on an education license in law school to learn about the Cuban legal system. The experience was eye-opening. My colleagues and I became […]
Easy Instant Pot Chicken, Broccoli, and Bok Choy
We signed up for a farm cooperative. For our first share of produce, we received bok choy. I modified my usual chicken and broccoli slow cooker meal to include the boy choy and the instant pot. It was better than Chinese take out! It was a great “work from home” meal, because I just needed […]
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.
Memorial Day Pulled Pork, Cole Slaw, and Potato Salad
Today we honored our heroes who lost their lives defending our liberties. I took our all-American recipes and made them a bit healthier by cutting out extra fats like mayonnaise. This is an all-weekend recipe as the pulled pork needs to slow cook overnight. Usually, my husband smokes the pork shoulder overnight. This year, due […]
One Pot Turkey Delight
This dish is a quick and healthy one pot meal. With loads of vegetables, it is a great go to meal.

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 […]
Strawberry Graham Cracker Pie
With no added sugar, this pie is a healthy treat to bring to a Memorial Day BBQ. This “no bake” treat is refreshing on a hot, summer day. If we weren’t in quarantine, I would have made it as a Red, White, and Blue Pie, by simply replacing half of the strawberries with blueberries.
Mediterranean Potatoes
This recipe pairs well with my recipe for Chicken Skewers (also known as souvlaki). My grandmother would make these potatoes in the oven in olive oil. I cut the fat by replacing olive oil with non-stick cooking olive oil spray.
