Chimichurri is a South American herb sauce that is traditionally served with grilled meats. It has a delightfully fresh flavor and can be used either as a fresh topping, or a marinade for steaks, chicken, or fish. 

This simple kale dish pairs perfectly with sticky brown rice, or cauliflower rice for a grain-free option, and roasted salmon. 

This is a simple dessert that is very quick to put together with ingredients you may already have on hand. Other fruit such as raspberries, blueberries, peaches, or cherries can be substituted for the strawberries. Just be sure that any fruits you substitute are suitable for your diet!

Roasting is one of the most delicious ways to prepare vegetables, especially broccoli. The high temperature of the oven caramelizes the edges of the broccoli and helps to bring out the sweet flavors. Serve broccoli with your favorite protein, such as a whole roasted chicken or roasted salmon, for an easy weeknight dinner. 

Make these pork sausages ahead of time to have available for a quick breakfast on busy mornings. Serve with some sautéed greens or a simple green salad and roasted sweet potatoes for a balanced breakfast.

This herb roasted salmon recipe is quick to prepare and oh so delicious. You can use any type of herbs you like, but I like to stick with the more tender leafy herbs like dill, chives, and parsley. Sometimes I'll top this salmon with pesto after it comes out of the oven and serve it with some roasted potatoes and a green salad. 

This chicken hash is delicious in burrito form, but can also be served on it’s own. Try serving it over a bed of greens with diced avocado and a simple dressing of a splash of olive oil and fresh lemon juice.

This salmon dish is delicious and relatively quick to come together. Serve it over brown rice or riced cauliflower with a side of sautéed vegetables like Simple Sautéed Zucchini. 

This recipe uses cooked salmon rather than raw, which saves on some of the mess and prep time as it doesn’t require a food processor. It works great with leftover salmon you may have, or you can use canned salmon instead. I like to serve these salmon cakes with a Quick Aioli sauce and a side salad.

I love to make aioli from scratch using egg yolks, oil, and lemon juice. Unfortunately, it takes a bit of time and lots of whisking and I don’t always have the patience for that. In those times, I like to make this quick aioli using mayonnaise. This sauce is also great for those who may not want to eat the raw egg yolk in most homemade aiolis. 

The finely grated parmesan on this salad gives the illusion of a creamy dressing, even though it’s not! It’s delicious served with the chicken breast for a satisfying lunch, but can also be served without it for a vegetarian side salad. 

Pomegranates and feta are one of my favorite fall salad combinations. When I compose a salad I try to make sure I have elements that are sweet, salty, and crunchy. This salad perfectly fills all of those requirements!

Most chicken tikka masala recipes have many steps for the yogurt marinade and sauce. While not traditional, this one was designed to be as simple as possible and is made in the Instant Pot for speed and ease. Serve this chicken dish over basmati rice or riced cauliflower with a scoop of full-fat Greek yogurt. This recipe is written to accommodate a moderate spice level. If you prefer a mild dish, use ONLY ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper. 

Drink this creamy smoothie drink as part of your breakfast or as a filling afternoon snack. Freeze any leftovers into popsicle molds for a later treat. 

Don’t be fooled, smashed potatoes are quite different from the mashed potatoes most people think of. Smashed potatoes are cooked twice, first they are boiled in water until they become tender and creamy, then they are smashed and roasted to become deliciously crispy on the outside. I like to serve these potatoes with a simple aioli sauce for dipping, but another sauce such as pesto or romesco would be delicious as well. 

These pancakes are packed with protein and make a great breakfast on days when you are craving something a little sweet and tangy. Serve these pancakes with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.

The Spanish tortilla is similar to a frittata filled with onion and potato goodness. Spanish tortilla is a staple in my house, especially when I don’t have much to make for dinner and want something filling and quick to prepare. The recipe uses ingredients that are pantry staples for me, including eggs, potatoes, and onions. I like to serve tortilla with a simple aioli and a green salad.

Serve these carrot fritters with Herbed Cottage Cheese Dip and a Poached Egg for a savory and satisfying breakfast or lunch.

Delicata squash has always been my favorite variety of winter squash. It is perfectly sweet and creamy and is simple to prepare with tender edible skin that is not intimidating to cut through. Because you are going to eat the skin, be sure to give the squash a good scrub to remove any dirt before preparing. I like to serve this squash with roasted chicken and a green salad. 

Apples and cheese are one of my favorite food combinations, in a salad or just for a snack. Serve this salad topped with a roasted chicken breast for a simple lunch, or with some roasted vegetables and chicken for dinner. Honeycrisp apples are by far my favorite variety of apple, but feel free to use your favorite or whatever you have on hand.

This is a decadent and delicious way to enjoy kale! This recipe pairs well with seared pork chops and some roasted winter vegetables. If you are following a low-carb or keto diet, then serve with roasted cauliflower or roasted brussels sprouts and your favorite protein.

Pad Krapow Gai is a traditional Thai dish served over long-grain white rice. Typically, oyster sauce and soy sauce are used in the sauce but I created a soy-free, gluten-free version based on a recipe our good friends brought back from their travels in Thailand. I like to use Holy Basil, Thai Basil, or this Purple Mountain Basil I grow in my garden (pictured here) in this recipe as it lends a better flavor compared to sweet basil (but use whatever you have on hand). For added spice, chop up some extra fresh Thai chili peppers for garnish!

These delicious gluten-free and yeast-free flatbreads make a great side dish to any type of soup or stew! Or try serving them for breakfast with sautéed vegetables and your favorite protein.

This recipe is a great way to spice up plain hamburgers! We love to serve these with lettuce leaves as "buns" along with a dollop of mayo, sliced tomatoes, cilantro, and red onions.

Serve this nutrient-dense and quick to prepare turkey hash with a spoonful of raw sauerkraut, broccoli sprouts, and avocado for an energizing breakfast. Rutabagas are a cruciferous root vegetable and a great replacement for sweet potatoes or potatoes on special diets.
