Blue Cheese & Crispy Kale Burgers
So by now you might have noticed that I am a big fan of comfort food. I love to cook comforting meals and thinking up ways to reinvent classic combinations is always fun. This week its burgers! We love burgers in our house, but when I’m trying to keep the carbs down, I like to find…

Chicken Parm Meatballs
I am a comfort food cook. I confess. I love hearty and indulgent meals, the kind you have to loosen your belt for. Sadly, I’m not 24 anymore and can’t eat like this all the time. BIG SIGH. Even now when we do crave one of these meals, I try to find alternatives that make…

Sausage Tray Bake
This is another recipe that I developed during my grain-free stint. I love roasting Lentils. They take on such a beautiful texture, crispy on the outside but creamy inside.

Sweet Potato Hash
I spent almost 10 years in New York during my 20s and a better part of that time was spent “brunching”. I was in heaven. Breakfast or really brunch has always been my favorite meal of the day. So much so that my mother always said that I would end up having a wedding brunch…

Salmon “En Papillote”
My husband travels quite a bit and most of the time that means toast for dinner. But sometimes I take the opportunity to make a yummy salmon dish – he’s not so crazy about salmon. This particular dish was inspired by a meal my mom recently had at a local restaurant where she and my…
