I use Pinterest as a virtual recipe book. Instead of tearing out sheets of paper from magazines and taping them into an oversized notebook organized by course (yup, that type A), I just click a button and magically zap them into place online. When I’m deciding what to make, it’s the first place I go….

Baked Spaghetti Squash
Can you believe it’s already been a week since the last Technique Tuesday? Have you hard-boiled any eggs since then? 🙂 This week, +Abigail Dougherty at The Soul of Health and I are bringing you this beautifully illustrated and simply presented recipe for Baked Spaghetti Squash from Jaden at The Steamy Kitchen. (Thank you for letting us share your…
Thin Crust Veggie Pizza
While I love pizza – l.o.v.e., – I don’t always like the greasy, where-are-my-sweatpants feeling I get after eating pizza. When I really want a heavy, cheesy, greasy New York style slice, I have one. But sometimes I just want the taste of pizza. A pizza that doesn’t make my face feel oily. That…
Arancini (Baked Crispy Risotto)
Leftover risotto is good, but you know what’s better? Leftover risotto formed into little balls, stuffed with mozzarella cheese, rolled in panko crumbs, and baked into a crispy, melty treat. It’s so easy to give these leftovers a delicious makeover. Ingredients: leftover risotto, mozzarella cheese (cubed), panko bread crumbs, fork beaten egg, olive oil spray…

American Chop Suey (Macaroni and Lean Ground Turkey)

No matter what you call it, it’s a delicious comfort food dinner. Traditionally a savory stew of of chopped tomatoes, macaroni…
Grilled Chicken Strips with Dipping Sauces (in 6 minutes)
Kids love to dip food, and let’s admit it, so do adults. This chicken dinner is like what you’d find at a McDonald’s drive through, except you get to control the ingredients. Instead of breaded nuggets, you make grilled chicken strips. Instead of mystery sauces, you choose your condiments. Instead of six minutes in your…
Asian Salmon Dinner with Honey Lime Vegetables
I am so excited to tell you about this meal. MEAL is the operative word here. You put rice, chopped up veggies, fish, and Asian sauce in a tinfoil pocket, bake it for 20 minutes, and then you have an entire meal. No timing anxiety (how do I get the vegetables and rice done at…
Chicken, Vegetable & Couscous Stew
The inspiration for this inviting supper comes from combining hearty chicken soup with Middle Eastern couscous stew. One of the dishes I love ordering at North African or Middle Eastern restaurants is a two-step stew. First, the waiter delivers a bowl of couscous, loaded with flavorful cooked vegetables and chickpeas. Next, he pours a tureen…
