There’s something about this breakfast that makes me feel like I’ve got my life together.
You know what I mean? It’s simple, fresh, and comes together in five minutes — but somehow it still feels like something you’d get at a fancy café.

I started making this smoked salmon and avocado toast during ...

I used to think pancakes were off-limits if I wanted to eat healthy.
But when I started learning how to actually fuel my body after 40 — not just restrict or count everything — I realized there’s a way to make comfort foods like pancakes work for me.

These cottage cheese pancakes are high in protei...

I’ve made meatballs a million different ways, but when I need something light, cozy, and no-fuss, these Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Turkey Meatballs always hit the spot.

They’re juicy and flavorful with a hint of garlic and Parmesan, simmered low and slow in a rich tomato basil sauce that makes your k...

You know those meals that taste like they took all day… but your slow cooker actually did the heavy lifting? That’s exactly what these Greek Chicken Gyros are.

The chicken is juicy, infused with garlic, lemon, and herbs, and slow-cooked to perfection. It’s the kind of meal that smells amazing all d...

Some nights, I just want dinner to make itself — without sacrificing flavor. That’s why this Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken and Veggies is one of my go-tos.

It’s sweet, tangy, and loaded with juicy chicken and colorful veggies, all simmered low and slow in a sticky homemade teriyaki sauce. Your house wi...

Let’s talk taco night — without the tortillas. When I need something quick, satisfying, and still full of all the zesty, saucy goodness my family loves, I turn to this Homemade Taco Salad with Crunch.

It’s everything you love about tacos, layered into a salad with seasoned ground beef, crisp lettuc...

I made this cake for a 4th of July BBQ years ago when it was way too hot to bake — and it’s been a family favorite ever since. I used real fruit, creamy coconut milk, and a nutty crust, and it turned out better than I ever expected. It’s cold, creamy, and bursting with berries. No oven, no fuss, and...

This cake came from a craving for something sweet but not too heavy something that tasted like sunshine. I had ricotta in the fridge, fresh lemons on the counter, and a quiet morning ahead. I stirred it all together and ended up with this light, tender cake that’s now one of my favorite go-to desser...

This recipe started during a backyard cookout when I didn’t want to turn on the oven but still craved something sweet. I had a basket of ripe apricots, some almond flour dough from earlier in the week, and a grill already hot. The result? A caramelized, juicy tart that tasted like summer in every bi...

There was a summer trip to the farmers market where my youngest picked out a whole basket of strawberries we had to use them that day. I whipped up some almond flour crepes and smeared them with a homemade, healthier version of Nutella. We rolled them up with fresh berries, and they were gone in min...

I had fresh peaches, a splash of bourbon left over from a holiday recipe, and an old Southern cookbook for inspiration. What came out o...

One of my favorite memories from growing up was sitting on the back porch in the summertime, eating strawberry pie with my mom. But the original recipe was full of sugar, canned filling, and Cool Whip — delicious, but not how I wanted to feed my own family. So I gave it a healthy twist, and now this...
