You won’t miss the refined sugar in these moist, delicious muffins. Today my goddaughter got engaged! We were invited over for a socially distanced BBQ to celebrate. I was running low on time, so I decided these homemade treats would be a welcome addition to the party.

One Pot Stir Fry Pork and Bok Choy
This simple dish tastes just like Chinese Takeout, without as much fat or oil. It’s a cinch to prepare, so it’s great for those nights when you run home only to need to run to get to meetings/events after dinner.
Homemade Caesar Salad
I got a head of farm-fresh Romaine lettuce, so I decided it was time for some homemade Caesar salad dressing. In New Orleans, I had Caesar dressing that was freshly made at my table using raw eggs. Store-bought versions use mayo. I decided to do my own take on Caesar salad dressing by using non-fat […]
Air Fried Chicken Parmesan
My children love fried food, especially covered in cheese. But of course, I needed to make the recipe a bit healthier. The air fryer helps to give these chicken cutlets that fried taste without the oil. I also make a few other substitutions to make this classic dish healthier, like egg whites rather than eggs. […]
Mango Shrimp
This sweet and spicy shrimp meal is ready in 15 minutes – perfect for a busy weeknight.
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 […]
Leftover Chicken Fiesta Bake
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.
