Allow me to introduce your new favorite cozy Winter dish…creamy lemon chicken with rice and green beans. The night before prep on this meal made the process go way fast the next day…and let me tell you…this was a STELLAR meal if I do say so myself. I juiced two small lemons (and zested one of them), then added olive oil, a small red onion, a sprig of thyme, and salt and pepper… Then added chicken breasts and tossed them until they were coated. I also added cashews to a jar of hot water to… Read more >

Listen to this…walnut pistachio pesto, shredded chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, arugula, aaaaaand pecorino romano. A lovely little bowl, right? The key is having delish pesto.

At long last.  A weekend in town.  More specifically a HEALTHY weekend in town.  I started Saturday morning out with my girlfriends.  I rode my bike to brunch at Cafe Bernardo downtown (which was so fun) while Kyle and the kids were at the Home Depot craft.  Later on, we met up at farmer’s market, where I got a ton of produce, which I then put in the car for Kyle to drive home so that I didn’t have to bike back balancing kale and squash on my back. The best part about farmer’s market… Read more >
