This pesto sausage lasagna is definitely a bit more complicated than my usual recipes, but still not too difficult! I wanted to try my hand at the dish and I had mountains of herbs to use, so I put together a pesto sauce to mix into the meat mixture....

This is not your regular tostada. This is a piled-high chip-full of perfection. Fish tostadas are something I’ve made a lot over the years and it is always a crowd pleaser. And it’s sooo easy… it’s basically nachos. This one has feta cheese and seared tuna with a drizzle...

These bell peppers make a nice light dinner on their own or can be served with pasta or risotto. They are also the perfect way to use an abundance of herbs if you have a garden! Ingredients: 1lb grassfed ground beef 1/2 cup chopped herbs (oregano, parseley and basil...

When my three-year-old son Gus asked me: “Mom, you make me a blueberry pie?” Of course I immediately ordered the ingredients. This one was made with frozen wild blueberries and definitely had a fresh texture. You can use any gluten free pie crust for this! This one is my...

This is just a quick easy snack or salad topper! Roasted chickpeas with pimenton (sweet smoked paprika) and my personal secret ingredient to everything — steak seasoning. 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 tsp salt 1 tablespoon avocado oil 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp smoked pimenton 1...

I’ve been wanting to try a cabbage roll with Italian flavors for awhile. I’ve done Asian-inspired rolls before but wanted to branch out. I love Napa cabbage and found a huge head of it at the store so it seemed like a good day to try this recipe. This...

A couple of weeks ago on Instagram I asked a question in my stories, “do I need an air fryer?” Well, my mom had one she didn’t use so she brought it over. I’ll admit I’m not a fan of the cabinet space it hoards, but there is no...

This recipe was borne out of the need for an easy, fast dinner that also packed nutrition and flavor. I’ve been down with terrible allergy symptoms since planting my garden last weekend and needed something requiring minimal work and even less cleanup, but it also needed to be warm...

Sometimes you just need a quick and easy weeknight meal that’s also healthy and good. This one fits that bill. The salmon burgers are satisfying without being heavy, and the green chili cumin combo really sets off the flavor of the fish. The freshness of the dill with the...

Yesterday was a work from home day like all the rest, except the kids were out of school for a holiday. I, of course, forgot about this holiday and wasn’t prepared to serve them lunch. It was a little cold and windy, so a quick soup sounded good. This...

My family loves meatballs! But my stomach hates the hidden breadcrumbs. This recipe is a super simple, versatile version of the Italian favorite—and its gluten-free. Ingredients (makes 15 two-inch meatballs): One pound grassfed ground beef 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup finely chopped herbs (I use parsley, but basil...

These are easy, not too hot, and pair perfectly with any Mexican food leftovers you may need to use. We had some pinto beans that I wanted to use creatively and with some leftover pozole my mom made the night before that we served on the side of this....

This one came from a need to use a head of cabbage I’d picked from the garden for this recipe. I’d only used a couple of leaves and wanted to do something with the rest before it became forgotten in my crisper. I also had some fresh snap peas...
