There are few more flavors that go together better than garlic and butter. From garlic bread to pasta, you can’t go wrong with those two. Now add lemon and you’ve got yourself a trifecta of flavor and aroma that will keep you coming back for more. Salmon is probably my favorite protein. I’ve found over [...]
I like to eat fresh foods whenever possible. But if I haven’t gone to the grocery store in a few days, it’s not easy. A few cans of this and that can turn into a delicious dinner. Like this stuffed sweet potato. Baked potatoes are a fave of mine. But only when they’re actually baked, [...]
When I made these sweet corn quesadillas, I thought about how to make them and decided on simple. I went over a list of ingredients in my head. I could add black beans, shrimp, or a dozen different spices. But then the flavor of the corn would be lost. If I was using frozen corn, [...]
Orange sesame peanut noodles are my new favorite quick meal. It’s seriously as easy as boiling some noodles and whisking a no-cook sauce. In the ten minutes it takes to boil the noodles, your sauce is done. And it’s flavorful and delicious. Who doesn’t love dinner like that? Oh, and you can customize this depending [...]
I’m a big fan of enchiladas, but roasted poblano enchiladas? Yes, please! This recipe is not complicated, but it has some steps. You’ll roast some poblanos, make a sauce and filling, fill some enchiladas, and bake in a casserole dish. Again, not complicated. But in my Imperfect Foods box this week, I got all the [...]
Roasted cilantro lime salmon. Yes, please! I’m a huge fan of cilantro and lime. My favorite salad dressing is a blended-up version with cilantro, lime, Greek yogurt, honey, and garlic. It takes a taco salad to a new level. You’ll often see cilantro and lime together, but usually on things like tacos and burritos. And [...]
In an effort to eat better, one of things I’ve been trying to do is eat a salad whenever I eat pizza. Easier said than done, since most pizza shops have terrible salad. So that means I either have to make my own — c’mon — or find a place that has good salad. It’s a struggle [...]
I’m currently sitting on my couch wrapped in a cozy blanket and dreaming of sunshine. I guess I’ll have to settle for a quinoa salad instead 😐 Salads are a favorite of mine. Usually my salad has some type of leafy green, but I’m a fan of grain salads as well. Quiona isn’t technically a [...]
I love rice and grain bowl recipes. You take some rice, quinoa, or grain of your choice, top with seasoned veggies/protein and then add a delicious sauce. It’s a great way to use up leftover grains and whatever odd and end veggies you have hanging around. I always like to add something creamy like cheese [...]
My favorite easy protein is a salmon filet seared in a cast iron skillet. It’s super easy, takes only a few minutes, and goes with just about anything. I love it on a salad, or in this case with some cheesy brown rice. You can season it with your choice of seasonings. Perhaps something homemade, [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
