My husband and I agree on a few things in life, one being Mexican food and good margaritas! We go into the city often sans kids and we have hit up a lot of Mexican restaurants throughout NYC. And I don’t mean the standard chain places like Rosa Mexicana or Dos Caminos (although I have suffered through many a headache for the amazing pomegranate margaritas at Rosa!) I mean the.. Read More
I had a bunch of hard boiled eggs leftover the other day and I wasn’t in the mood to eat them so I peeled them all (worst job ever) intending to make some standard egg salad. But I hate standard! So I though about what I could add to make it different and I decided to add some items I would normally add to a curried chicken salad! Yes it.. Read More
I really love spicy chicken wings. Actually I like anything spicy, especially spicy margaritas Those muddled jalapeño peppers in the bottom, that first tangy sip….sigh….but I digress. Ok people the number one thing I try to teach people about eating healthy……drum roll please! Being prepared! The easiest way to do this is to overcook! Yep leftovers! If your already at the grill or throwing something in the oven and getting.. Read More
Yes I know, cauliflower crust is not a new invention. Maybe you were like me and kept thinking, hmmm that might work, but it’s too much work, or whats the point? Well, I finally tried it and guess what? It wasn’t that much work and yep it was worth it! Is this like deep dish pizza from pizza hut? Nope, it doesn’t really even taste like pizza dough but it creates.. Read More
I’ve been on a Mediterranean kick lately. I am in love the flavors that encompass some of these countries such as Greece, Morocco and Spain. There are actually 21 countries having a coastline on the Mediterranean, all with different flavor influences. Some of my favorite tastes include garlic, mint, olive oil and olives, oregano, cumin, paprika, turmeric, saffron, anchovies, rosemary and thyme. In particular I really love a spice blend called..

Greek flavors are some of my favorites, but how do you pronounce gyro? lol. Greek food has strong flavors of olive oil, used in most dishes. Tomato is an important vegetable in traditional cuisine along with the flavorings of oregano, mint and garlic. Did you know the typical greek salad is known in Greece as the “village salad” and is essentially a tomato salad with cucumber, red onion, feta cheese and.. Read More
Jicama is such a versatile vegetable that I always forget about! It is so crisp with a similar texture to an apple. It is great as a salad garnish but takes main stage in this asian inspired slaw!

Someone made an appetizer at a party I was recently at with watermelon, feta and mint on a toothpick. I was so blown away by the flavor combination I decided to try it as a salad. This is the result. You can slice the onion, but when spiralized it makes it so fun and a great presentation! Happy Summer! Watermelon and Feta Salad Print Recipe This cool refreshing salad is.. Read More
I had to include the word decadent in the description because it’s how I felt when I was eating this. Holy wow! This burger is moist and flavorful. Please don’t get fat-free turkey, a little dark meat is not going to hurt you! I promise. These toppings worked in harmony but feel free to mix and match them. I served on a portobello “bun” but feel free to use a.. Read More
