spaghetti squash cups

You know how you love, love, love spaghetti squash and then you run out of things to do with it? I mean, you roast it and then pasta night comes and goes and you’re like, “OK, great. Now what?” Truly there are other great things to do with this mild fall gem and this one […]

Roasted Summer Veggies

It’s August. The market (or maybe your garden) is ripe with tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini. So. Many. Zucchini. If you see one more zucchini bread, you just may throw it at someone. How about trying something different with all your late summer produce that will really bring out it’s flavor?

The ULTIMATE Food Prep – Freeze that Produce!

My favorite words at the farmers’ market are, “so next market the ____ will be in.” my least favorite words at the market: “so this week, maybe next will be the last for the _____.” I mean, we wait not-so patiently for each crop to make its way to the tables each market, buy, cook, […]

Chicken Burgers

Looking to mix up your burger routine and add in something a little leaner? Why not try ground chicken instead? With a few add-ins from your local farmers’ market you can ramp up the flavor AND the taste, plus let the red meat have its rest day. Early summer is a wonderful time to visit […]

Cauliflower Casserole

So the other day I saw this delicious looking recipe come into my feed. It was for a tater-tot casserole. Yep. A casserole, based on tater-tots. It was loaded with cheese and it looked amazing. But I thought to myself, Beth, you can clean that up a bit, a tweak or two here or there, […]

Last week at the farmers’ market my favorite farmer challenged me to “do something” with red Russian kale. OK, you asked for it, you got it!

Stuffed Poblano Peppers

For some reason the more I thought about making stuffed poblano peppers, my head kept thinking about cheese. I decided to go with cottage cheese; not too crazy, good protein addition, and easy to add. Next decision? Meat.

Stuffed Pepper Soup

OK, OK, I know I say this a lot, my fit and hungry friends, but I think this is my new FAVORITE recipe I have EVER MADE. OMG if you like stuffed peppers and you like soup you have to give this one a try! It was super easy to throw together, it’s VERY CLEAN and HEALTHY, pretty INEXPENSIVE, and PRETTY. Oh, and did I mention it’s DELICIOUS?!

Bok Choy Chicken Soup!

So as I walked into class the other day, Anna and Sarah excitedly presented me with a very special bouquet for my birthday. It was lush and full and contained only two things… fennel and bok choy. Of course I would make this soup!

Who controls the health in your home?

So I was listening to the radio the other day and something caught my attention. I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since. The man (whose name I honestly didn’t catch as I wish I could give him credit!) was commenting on the health and obesity crisis in our communities today […]
