Black Bean Burgers
These Black Bean Burgers are simple to make, packed with flavor and most importantly, they are tasty AF! Serve them on a bun, Ezekiel bread, flatbread, crumbled up on a pita... The options are limitless. I like them on a bed of baby lettuce with tomatoes, onions, avocado, and topped with my Chipotle Chili Dressing.

Roasted Chickpeas
I love chickpeas and I especially love roasted chickpeas. They are a great addition to any meal and a wonderful snack too. If you haven’t tried them or made them yet, you are definitely missing out. So good!! Love an easy recipe? This is the easiest thing you will ever make. All you need is a can of chickpeas, your favorite spices, avocado or olive oil, a baking pan and an oven. I use avocado oil in most of my cooking but, olive oil works well here too. Start by opening that can of chickpeas and drain them. Rinse the chickpeas and place them on a plate lined with paper…

Kale Soup with Bacon and Parmesan
So I made soup yesterday. I made this Kale Soup with Bacon and Parmesan cheese. It is super hearty and so delicious! I keep a stocked pantry. If you’ve been to my house you’ve seen the madness that’s in there. Sometimes it’s organized and sometimes it is not because my children love getting their hands on anything they can, every five seconds. This is the absolute perfect time to organize pantries and refrigerators and freezers. It is a great time to use up what you’ve been putting off only because it was easier to go to the store and buy other ingredients. Since we are stuck in the house due…

Baked Cheesy Spinach Dip
This Baked Cheesy Spinach Dip has been a staple at recent family and friends gatherings at our house. It is not only delicious, but it is also easy to prepare especially because it can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated, and baked before your guests arrive. I mean it could be prepared the night before, which I love and is very helpful. Easy entertaining at its finest. Now, I’ll be honest, this Baked Cheesy Spinach Dip is not the healthiest of appetizers. It contains a lot of mozzarella and parmesan cheese as well as sour cream and cream cheese. The healthy parts are the spinach and the garlic. Which is…

Garlic Smashed Potatoes
I have been making these Garlic Smashed Potatoes for years. If you know me you can attest that I made them a lot this summer. I will continue to make them all fall and winter because they are perfectly delicious and easy to make. The Petite Gold potatoes from Kroger’s Private Selection Brand are my favorite to use for this recipe. If those aren’t available, I also love the tiny potatoes from Trader Joe’s. Both will do the trick for these Garlic Smashed Potatoes. This is a perfect side dish for a small or a large party. These potatoes can be prepped well ahead of time and baked just before…

Basil Pesto
Basil Pesto for President!!! All summer long I enjoy beautiful homegrown or market bought basil in the form of Pesto. Basil Pesto is the bomb. Seriously! This Pesto is so versatile… It pairs well with a variety of dishes. The recipe is very simple and it is nut-free. Not because I can’t have nuts, I just never added them to the recipe to start and I feel it’s just as delicious without. If you feel so inclined, add a good handful of pine nuts or walnuts to your batch. Have you ever made pesto and it turned brownish and yucky by the next day? Yeah, it’s happened to me a…

Chicken Piccata
I have been making this Chicken Piccata recipe for years. It never gets old, it’s easy, quick and super delicious. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a weekend feast. The best part, you only need 30 minutes for it. This Chicken Piccata recipe is made for 2 to 4 people. It is how much I make for my husband and I for a meal and sometimes we have one serving left over. It is perfect reheated as well. I highly recommend butterflying the chicken breast and tenderizing it. I love a thin chicken breast. Butterflying the chicken also cuts down on the cooking time. First, season the…
