This it is. Here it is. It’s the one. It’s here. It is happening. I like to deem this meal, the ONE THAT SAVES YOUR WAISTLINE IN DECEMBER. And your sanity. And your taste buds. Because seriously, you have to be getting sick of all those Christmas cookies, right? No? Really? Not sick of ’em? […]

French Lentils with Roasted Root Vegetables

Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Salad
Disclaimer alert: This dish is obnoxiously healthy. Proceed at your own risk. I’ve been known to be somewhat of a disclaimer queen in my day. “These dusty baseboards are not my fault!

The Root of Happiness
I always forget how much I appreciate a big salad for dinner. They tend to be a lunchtime staple for me, and so often the idea of coming home after a long day to a plate of lettuce leafs lacks a bit of satisfaction appeal. Plus, it’s winter. We are supposed to be craving starches […]
