If you buy herbs in the grocery store, you probably know all to well the problem of biting off more than you can chew. There's nothing worse than wasting food, in my opinion. And yet fresh herbs always seem to go to waste in my kitchen. I always need fresh basil, parsley or dill for… Continue reading Green Goddess Chicken Salad

Tuna Cobb Salad
There's a sale on oil-packed tuna at Costco right now. It might not sound like that big of a deal, but when there's a sale on tuna, I jump on it. I eat a lot of tuna. I love it so much, a few years ago I signed up for a settlement with Starkist. As… Continue reading Tuna Cobb Salad
Grab-and-Go Breakfast Burritos
If you're one of those people who like to have a plan for everything, then you're my kind of person. I like structure. I like planning for the worst-case scenario. I like routine. If anything unexpected comes up, I can lose my cool really quick. I meal prep lunches for the work week. If I… Continue reading Grab-and-Go Breakfast Burritos
Sweet and Sour Wonton Bowls
Gyms around the New Year are crazy busy. They're bustling hubs of people looking for a fresh start, people kick-starting their New Year's resolutions, and the people who have already been there all year long. You know who you shouldn't find at a gym? Me. I'm the person who legitimately does not know what they… Continue reading Sweet and Sour Wonton Bowls
Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches
Meal prepping will never go out of style. Mark my words. I've been meal-prepping for more than 5 years now. I cook all of my lunches and dinners for the week on Sundays and then eat them throughout the workweek. Sometimes I'll prep a breakfast to eat throughout the week, like overnight oats or freezer… Continue reading Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches
Vegetarian Fajita Salad
I'm trying to get back into the habit of incorporating more vegetarian/vegan meals into my diet. I did this a few years ago, but somehow got off track. It's a great way to save some money (especially during this time of heightened food/protein prices) and to dabble in the vegetarian/vegan world without being fully immersed.… Continue reading Vegetarian Fajita Salad
Brown Rice & Chicken Enchilada Casserole
New Year, New You, am I right? I hate that phrase. I LOATHE it. It's the same catchphrase that gets used incessantly over the holiday break and it drives me nuts. Sometimes, though, it makes sense. A New Year means a fresh start. A new beginning. The slate is wiped clean and you have 365… Continue reading Brown Rice & Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Chopped Tuna Salad
Your timeline is probably filled with decadent cakes and starchy sides right now. In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, you're bombarded with all sorts of delicious, filling foods. You need a break, though. You've got to prepare your stomach, and your mind, for a feast on Thursday. Why not save some room in the… Continue reading Chopped Tuna Salad
Curry Chicken Salad
If this isn't a Midwestern chicken salad, I don't know what is. Curry powder turned into the "it" spice to have in pantries in America during the 1950's. People thought the flavor was exotic, and Americans being Americans, threw it into every dish and called it "new". Curry powder has been used for centuries in… Continue reading Curry Chicken Salad
Honey-Lime Chicken & Sweet Potato Stir Fry
We've officially blown past the "enjoyable" part of summer and plowed right into the "miserable, please make it stop" part. A heat wave has set up shop over the state and shows NO signs of letting up. It's gross, humid, and relentlessly hot outside. I'm trying my best not to cook anything in this house… Continue reading Honey-Lime Chicken & Sweet Potato Stir Fry
