Cranberry Almond Bark
Talk about an easy, delicious, and absolutely beautiful dessert! I’ve been searching for some dessert recipes that are simple enough that I don’t need to go out and buy a bunch of weird ingredients that I will only use one a year. This bark is so simple and uses just three ingredients…that I usually always…
Creamy Pesto Chicken with Pasta
You will have to be patient with me and my (developing) photographing skills…this photo does not do this dish justice. Ever since cutting dairy out of my diet, I crave creamy pasta. I’ve always loved pasta and going dairy and gluten free has been easy once I found a pasta that makes me feel like…
Stuffed Turkey Breast with Butternut Squash and Apple Stuffing
I’ve always loved stuffed meats, chicken, pork, in this case…turkey. It gives such great flavor to all the major players and something magical happens to the meat.

After I…
Turkey Meatballs
In my ever ending quest to make healthy food affordable, I’ve fallen in love with ground turkey. Without babbling on about the health benefits of ground turkey and harms of red meat, you’ll just have to take my word for it…poultry is a much healthier alternative. These little meatballs are super versatile as I’ve added…
Butternut Squash Soup
Fall time in the kitchen is my absolute favorite. I love living in New York where I get to experience all four seasons, however, fall is a crisp breath of fresh air that I welcome with open arms each year. Root vegetables and squashes are found in almost every meal I serve this time of…
Meal Prep 101
Meal prep took on a whole new meaning when everything I was eating had to be prepared. When you choose this lifestyle, you give up the convenience of opening up the cupboard and tossing something in the microwave or oven and BAM! have a dinner. Sundays became my saving grace. I tend to do my…
