Winter is prime soup season, and there really is nothing better than the smell of a delicious soup simmering away on the stove. I love how cozy and comforting it is. And while I have my tried and true soups in heavy rotation at this time of year, I also love experimenting with new and…

Butternut Squash Kale Stuffed Shells
Butternut Squash Kale Stuffed Shells is a wonderfully rich and creamy dish that is full of fall flavors. Stuffed shells are a favorite in my house. Especially during the fall and winter months, when I’ve been known to make them on a weekly basis. While I typically make them with spinach and marinara sauce, lately…

Apple Smoothie Bowls
As we get further and further into the holiday season, I find myself getting more and more tired and sluggish. I’m not sure if it is the fact that I am running myself ragged with prep and kid’s activities or the fact that my diet is comparable to Elf (spaghetti with maple sugar)- sugar…
Mango Lassi Breakfast Bowls
This sponsored post is brought to you by Cacique and Society Culinaria. Last year we started a new weekend cooking routine, in an effort to avoid the endless “I’m bored” comments of the weekend.

During the summer however, he waves his white flag….
Sriracha Almond Asian Salad
This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almonds. Lately, it seems as if every time I reach into the cupboard for a quick snack I find empty boxes. My kids have this horrible habit of eating literally everything in the house and leaving the empty boxes or bags for me to clean up! It drives…
Greek Chicken Salad Cups
This post was supposed to be a recap about my recent trip to the Sabra Kitchens in Richmond, Virginia. Unfortunately, the day after I arrived, I got extremely sick and had to spend the day in the ER instead of the Sabra facilities. It was such a bummer! I have been a long time lover…

Healthy Creamy Vegetable Soup
This Healthy Creamy Vegetable Soup is perfect for cold winter days and curing the winter cold or flu.

Each and every one of these meals…
Southwestern Potato Skins
Potatoes how I love thee. I love them baked, fried, mashed, blended, and even added to my cinnamon rolls to create the most flakiest roll ever. Married to a Swiss man, potatoes will always be a staple in our home. Just like Americans, the Swiss LOVE their potatoes! However in the diet world, they seem…

Italian Cobb Salad with Creamy Balsamic Dressing
This is a fun twist on a classic salad! Being Italian, I tend to “Italianize” everything! Nothing is complete without onions and garlic. Since it is almost bikini (which I will not be wearing this year) and vacation season, my “Italianizing” will now only be for salads. I have to fully resist the urge…
Warm Brussel Sprout Salad
A couple of months ago I ate at The Slanted Door in San Francisco. We ordered a brussel sprout side dish that was so good that we all decided it had to be replicated. So when Melissa’s Produce approached us (SD Food Bloggers) with a sort of Chopped Challenge and brussel sprouts were included, I…
