Herb Crusted Boneless Leg of Lamb
Lamb is one of my favorite proteins. It is rich in flavor and extremely versatile, and packed with health benefits. A big part of getting a good cut of lamb, is knowing where it comes from.

Quick and Easy Indian Spiced Dinner
Making dinner every night can become extremely repetitive.

The nice thing about simple meals, such as ground beef…
Enchiladas Healthified
Between the holidays and tailgating parties, many calories will be consumed. In an effort to not gain 5,000 pounds, I try to keep weeknight meals light and easy.

For Christmas this year my wonderful husband surprised me with a new grill! Since having received it, I have used it at least 4 nights a week, regardless of the weather. I have always been a huge fan of barbecuing and have become quite good at it! Let’s just say the my first year of…

Tuna Enchiladas #BumbleBeeB2S
I don’t know about you but I welcomed back to school with open arms. However, it is somewhat bittersweet. With back to school also comes after school activities and sports which means little time in the evenings to prepare a hearty, healthy meal. I often find myself scrambling to figure something out for dinner which…
Drunken Chicken or Pollo Borracho
Someone told me about Drunken Chicken years ago, and I never got it out of my head. Thank goodness because man was I missing out. I always seem to overcook my bird in the oven and it turns out dry. Even the roasted chickens at the store can be dry, or undercooked which means you…
Beer Battered Fish Tacos with Chipotle Tartar Sauce
I get this extreme sense of gratification and pride when I create a meal that was home grown or in this case, freshly caught. Now I shouldn’t feel this way about these tacos because I was not the one who caught the Halibut, my little brother was. However I did create a pretty damn good…
