This Baked Spinach Falafel Pita is so good and makes for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. I didn’t know this until recently but falafel is actually really easy to make at home. Besides soaking the chickpeas overnight (a critical step that can’t be skipped), it takes a total of 30 minutes! And not…
Lunch and Dinner
Oven-Fried Nashville Hot Chicken
We all know how good fried chicken is, but unfortunately we also know it’s not the best thing for you. Fried chicken is generally breaded in white refined flour and deep fried in oil. The first time I had Nashville Hot Chicken, it was so good I knew I had to figure out a way…
Apricot Chicken Soba Noodle Salad
Despite it being 50 degrees and pouring rain last weekend, it is 90 degrees and sunny this weekend which means I’m only in the mood to eat one thing: salads. Salads generally get a bad reputation because people think they’re boring or not filling enough. But this Apricot Chicken Soba Noodle salad is certainly not…
Chipotle Shrimp and Cheddar Grits
When I went to Nashville two years ago with my boyfriend, I fell in love with shrimp and grits. Although we a have a few Southern restaurants in Boston, I never really indulged in shrimp and grits until our trip down south. I’ve clearly been missing out because wow-shrimp and grits are so good!
Broccoli Cheddar Meatballs with Garlic Butter Spaghetti
Broccoli and cheddar is an amazing combination. The two flavors work together like peas in a pod. We all know the soup is delicious…but have you ever tried broccoli and cheddar in a meatball? Didn’t think so.
Maple Miso Butter Cod with Green Beans
Everyone is obsessed with salmon and tuna and understandably so. Salmon and tuna are both rich in omega 3 fatty acids and protein. Not to mention they are incredibly delicious eaten in any of the numerous ways they can be prepared. With good reason, salmon and tuna tend to be the stars of the healthy…
Roasted Butternut Squash, Apple & Sausage White Pizza
I’ve always had a thing for an autumn-flavored pizza. My first time having such a pizza was on a ski vacation in New Hampshire. We went out for dinner one night and I remember having a really good butternut squash and maple syrup pizza. Ever since then, I’ve loved mixing some sweet and savory autumn…
Summer Green Gazpacho
Since studying abroad in Spain, I haven’t had one summer where I haven’t made an abundance of gazpacho. Gazpacho symbolizes the perfect summer meal to me since it’s chilled and uses a variety of vegetables harvested during the summer months. It’s so delicious and refreshing!
Grilled Peach, Corn, and Romaine Salad
This Fourth of July weekend I’m not feeling very patriotic…but I am feeling the barbecues. Give me anything grilled and I am hereeee for it! Last weekend I had some friends over for a barbecue and we made a grilled romaine caesar salad with some grilled garlic baguette. It was SO good. I knew I…
Thai Chicken Satay Grain Bowl
It was sometime in middle school, while watching the O.C., that I became obsessed with Thai food. On the show, the Cohen family always ordered Pad Thai for takeout. That summer in between middle school and high school, I made my mom and dad order so much Thai takeout and consumed a ton of Pad…
