‘Healthier than a Hot Pocket’ Beef and Broccoli Pies
You could eat this… or you could eat that… ‘That’ is a Hot Pocket. A Ham and Cheese Hot Pocket to be more specific. This poster, designed by Justin Perricone, deconstructs the hard to read and often biblically long ingredients list found on most food packaging and puts it back together in a way that [...]
Roasted Salmon with Fennel and Grapes
I love salmon any way I can get. Raw, smoked, roasted, poached, grilled, pan fried, or in a burger, salmon is divine. What I really appreciate about this fish or any fish for that matter, is that the more simply you prepare it, the better it tastes. This recipe rocks in a very versatile way. [...]
Skinny Banana Bread with Apple Filling
I have always considered myself more of a cook than a baker. In fact, I’ve only learned to enjoy baking within the past couple of years. I always felt more comfortable cooking because I didn’t have to measure anything, I could just throw in a little of this and a big handful of that. I [...]

They are great for a quick treat or to tame your late night cravings. The inspiration for these cookies was two fold. [...]
Bee Balm Mojito
I have been meaning to share this recipe all summer and thought I had better do it before all the bee balm dies off for the year. For those who don’t know, bee balm(also called monarda) is a perennial plant that is commonly planted to attract bees and other pollinators to one’s vegetable garden. What [...]
Chicken Paprikash
It has been a while since I have posted any new recipes and some of my regular followers may be wondering why. August was a crazy month! Between getting a lot of unexpected hours at work, shopping for a new car, and dealing with a serious bout of headaches, I didn’t see much of my [...]
