Your Body is Going to Thank You! 🙏


Hey friends❣️

As the last of the holiday cookies finally disappear I'm actually starting to crave some fresh crunch, how about you?

Winter Slaw with Citrus Dressing

Serve winter slaw alongside meatloaf, roasted pork, steak, chicken, or any type of fish. Pack up the leftovers for lunch. Your body will thank you!

And if you've got any leftover fresh cranberries I've got the best idea ~ a zesty dressing that will perk up all your winter salads.

Cranberry Vinaigrette

Mediterranean Artichoke Salad

When I'm in the mood for more protein I'll add some julienned ham or salami to this delicious salad.


Mediterranean Orzo Salad with Creamy Lemon Dressing

The most comforting salad ever, and I want that creamy lemon dressing on everything!


Wheat Berry Salad

Wheat berries are incredibly nutrient-dense whole grains that have the best nutty flavor and chewy texture. This salad is one of my favorites.

Cranberry Orange Cake 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ok hear me out… I was out of buttermilk and milk so I used eggnog instead. Best decision ever. This cake was out of this world good. Since eggnog is sweet, I left the sugar off of the top of the cake. I also just used a fine zester for my orange peel, didn’t feel like getting the food processor out. Worked perfectly. I will make this again, and use the eggnog in it again.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

Fromage Blanc Cheesecake

Hey friends❣️ Stop the press guys, this cheesecake just dropped and it's pretty awesome. It's lighter than regular cream cheese cheesecake, and the texture is like velvet. It's actually healthier and lower in fat than regular cheesecake, but you'd never know it (how do the French do it??) Fromage Blanc Cheesecake Other cheesecakes to try: For a classic cheesecake experience my Lemon Cheesecake is a favorite. You can decorate with berries, but citrus segments are perfect this season.

almond croissant bars

Hey friends❣️ There’s a reason almond flavor is so hard to resist. It’s sweet, nutty, and just a little floral ~ with that lingering marzipan-cherry note that makes you close your eyes for a second. That signature aroma comes from benzaldehyde in bitter almonds… and once you fall for it, there’s no going back.
