I Spatchcocked. (Bless You!)

This is the Middle Eastern Roast Chicken from A Beautiful Plate (I super love her), and I’m definitely making it again. It’s easy and totally amazing!

Summer Salads Rule

FYI, the Skirt Steak Salad from Smitten Kitchen is perfect, and I wouldn’t change anything. Mmmmm.
Brown Sugar Citrus Glazed Salmon with Scented Quinoa
September 1, 2016
When I’m trying to eat healthily, salmon is one of my favorite go-to meals. It cooks quickly, it’s high-quality protein, and it makes such a nice change from chicken, which we seem to see too much of around my house. Though I adore shellfish, I’ve never been much of a fish fan (who knows why). My one … More Brown Sugar Citrus Glazed Salmon with Scented Quinoa
Grilled Tzatziki Chicken Gyros
August 18, 2016
I love Greek food. For some reason I don’t recall, we have a Greek food festival every year in my area, and the first time I ever had good lamb gyros, souvlaki, and baklava, was behind a little Greek Orthodox church downtown. I’ve been in love ever since. I know this is not strictly a traditional recipe: the … More Grilled Tzatziki Chicken Gyros
Double Cheese Sausage Spinach Pizzas
August 9, 2016
What is it about individual serving sizes that kids love so much? My kids love tiny pizzas, and when they’re this easy and healthy, I’m happy to please! But the best part about these, for me, is the cottage cheese sauce. At first I was skeptical (I’m not a cottage cheese fan), but it gets a quick … More Double Cheese Sausage Spinach Pizzas
Ravioli and Summer Squash with Lemon Cream Sauce
July 20, 2016
If you’re like me, there’s a whole lot in the title of this recipe that sets off both my tastebuds and my alarm bells. Pasta? With insulin resistance? But I promise, pasta can be a part of your life, if you’re linking and balancing things correctly. And the savory sauteed squash plus a light note … More Ravioli and Summer Squash with Lemon Cream Sauce
Finding Balance: Food
July 7, 2016
I don’t know whether you’ve noticed, but I’ve put on a few pounds over the last three or four months. Personal stress, packing and moving, and just general laziness and threw me right out of balance, and before I knew it I was completely out of all my routines. Sure, sure, it’s hard to exercise when you’re … More Finding Balance: Food
Lazy Picadillo Burritos
April 21, 2016
Wednesdays, around here, have turned into our busy night. The boys have scouts in the evenings, J has phone-conferenced meetings with the other side of the world, and Little Miss is taking an art class in the afternoons that’s across town. Add those things together, and they make finding time to cook dinner a little … More Lazy Picadillo Burritos
Crock Pot Massaman Curry
April 4, 2016
When I asked my kids last week what they wanted to eat for Easter dinner, I was shocked when my oldest requested curry! He was vetoed by his twin brother (and, silently, his mom–I guess I’m a traditionalist at heart??), but I was more than happy to put it on the menu this week, especially … More Crock Pot Massaman Curry
Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup & Outback Bread
April 1, 2016
There are about 9 billion versions of Panera Broccoli Cheddar soup out there, and that’s because it’s amazing. The best part is that the carb/protein balance is great for insulin resistance. … More Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup & Outback Bread
