I made this dish for Tuesday’s School of Christian Living dinner, and it was SUPER popular! I have to admit I was really shocked by how much people liked this meal. I was taking a chance on the raw kale. I love salad and raw veggies, but I know they frequently feel like “health” foodRead more
Salads get a bad rap. They’re frequently thought of as diet or rabbit food. So I’m trying to make more of an effort to make salads exciting. And add things to add interest, color, texture and taste to what might otherwise be boring greens. Last Tuesday for SCL I made this grilled vegetable salad. YouRead more
I made this recently for my dad’s retreat. It’s a great make ahead meal and combines some great surprising flavors. This is another recipe from a woman who used to go to my church. Further proof that church ladies know good food, see here and here for the other proof. Curry Chicken Salad Serves 6-8Read more
This past week I made some lentil salad for lunch. This is one of my go-to vegetarian salads. It’s super convenient for lunch since it can be served room temperature and has a ton of protein in it. You can find the recipe here. I added a tomato in the morning before leaving for work.Read more

If you’re like me fish sometimes feels fussy and hard, but in reality fish cooks up really quickly and can be prepared very simply to let the flavor really shine on its own.Read more
I wasn’t sure if I was going to post this recipe. It’s not exactly an exciting, standout recipe (glowing review, I know). However, it is convenient and perfect for those times when you know you need to be eating healthy things but just want to stuff your face with the nearest and easiest anything, preferablyRead more
Sorry for the delay in posting! Unfortunately I still don’t have power at my house, fortunately my uncle and his family are on vacation so we moved into his house for the time being. I’ve also been busy doing a Peripheral Blood Stem Cell donation (a type of bone marrow donation). I signed up throughRead more
Sorry for being so slow getting last Tuesday’s recipes posted! It’s been a crazy week! I unexpectedly had to go in for a physical to make sure I’m in good health to donate bone morrow through DKMS Americas. Then I worked with my friend, Sandra to do a big catering job. So for three daysRead more
