The weather has been pretty great in New England this March and thus an equally great motivator for me to get my act together health wise. Just around the corner is my first 5k of the year and my 30th birthday...groan...both great motivating factors. Though I do love to make lots of sweets and indulgent...
Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
Pizza should be considered a delicacy. Crunchy doughy crust, fresh and vibrant tomatoes, gooey cheese, fresh herbs, meat, vegetables...pretty much everything good in the world. You literally can have pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - even dessert! Seriously, is there ever a bad time for pizza? With so many options out there, it's nice...
Matcha Macarons
I'm not sure about you, but sometimes I am a bit too competitive for my own good. I love a challenge, particularly a challenge with myself. I like to find something I've never made before, put my own spin on it and come up with a recipe...which usually ends up in several attempts before it...
Farro with Coppa & Cauliflower
Looking for a new side dish to switch things up? I recently discovered farro and I love it! The texture to the grain is firm but light. However, on it's own it's a little boring. By adding the salty, crispy coppa with the roasted cauliflower, it provides different textures and a variety of flavors that...
Less Guilty Tortilla Chips
Ahh, nothing like a good pun to start the day. If you know me in person, you've probably heard me quote this video a million times or made you watch it. Well I found it a rather appropriate addition to today's post. Apparently February 24th is National Tortilla Chip Day, which coincides perfectly with our leftover...
Veal Scallopini
Certainly an indulgent dish in this house, this Veal Scallopini is a tasty reminder of the restaurant where we met. The crispy breading and tender meat with frothy, buttery sauce, and tang of the lemon juice with the saltiness of capers - this dish is a home run. If veal isn't in your wheelhouse you...
Strawberry Cucumber Margarita
Happy National Margarita Day!! If only this happened once a week, I'd have a legitimate reason to drink margaritas. If you are still looking to satisfy your celebratory tequila fix, you certainly will not regret making this recipe. The strawberries and cucumber keep it fresh, the agave gives it just the right amount of sweet...
Chicken & Rice Soup
Brrr!!! It's cold out there...must be some Toros in the atmosphere? Nope, it's just stupid amounts of cold. Well here's a no brainer recipe for Chicken and Rice soup to warm you up from the inside out! I absolutely love soup. It's so easy, great for leftovers and depending on what kind of soup you're...
On a road to nowhere...
Of all the exercises, I would have to say spin class or cycling class is by far my favorite. As my friends very well know, the only place I've ever been graceful is on a stage. In real life I am a clumsy mess, who is commonly known for breaking things at gatherings...weddings, Christmas parties,...
Meat Pie Bites
A bite-sized take on the French Canadian classic Tourtière!
