Pin this recipe for later! Carrots + oranges + lemon + ginger root + turmeric root = liquid sunshine. I mean, it's straight goodness. An instant mood booster. This juice recipe is sweet, tart, and with a slight "bite" from fresh ginger root. You can certainly give it more than a slight bite if you are a ginger lover. Just increase that ginger zing by adding more ginger root. Either way, you're gonna feel better after you drink this. I … [Read more...]

Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup with Salmon
I. Love. Thai. Food. So much so, that if ever we have Thai for dinner, you can bet your bottom that in the morning for breakfast you'll find me chowing down on some curry and rice or pad thai. #confession. I make a mean Thai Red Chicken Curry that rivals takeout, but I've yet to really start honing in on learning to make dang good pad thai. It's on my list. In the mean time, I enjoy cooking with Thai flavors even if I'm not making a … [Read more...]
Southwest Quinoa Taco Salad Bowl
My mom makes this uh-maze-ing Black Bean Salsa. It's 4 simple main ingredients {black beans + corn + red pepper + red onion} plus 3 ingredients for the dressing {balsamic + dijon + (optional) olive oil}. A little salt and pepper and bam, you're good to go. It's a great dip but I also love it over salmon or over a salad as the dressing. My college buddy and RD blogger Rachel posted the salsa on her blog Delicious Balance not too long ago. … [Read more...]
Creamy Avocado Basil Sauced Spaghetti
Avocados are oh so trendy. I really feel like they're "cool". Eating them, taking pictures of them... it's like a universally loved and accepted food right now. I really feel like if an avocado was in high school, she'd win homecoming queen. So hot right now. They're everywhere: mashed straight up (with a 'lil salt of course) on toast, in guacamole (obbbviously), baked with an egg cracked inside, in smoothies, in faux chocolate pudding, or … [Read more...]

Intern Quinoa Salad with Pan Seared Salmon and Balsamic Greens
Prepare yourself. Might be one of my most fav food pics I've taken! If that pic doesn't make you want to eat this you might be blind. What you see above isn't even the completed dish, but it certainly could be a meal on its own! (All that's missing from the recipe is the salmon on top.) If you're fan of plant-based/vegan food, eat your heart out! (Just sub your favorite liquid sweetener in for the 1 teaspoon honey that's in the balsamic … [Read more...]
Kim’s 2-Ingredient Mango Ice Cream
Two ingredients. Frozen mango + coconut cream = the most delicious, creamy, refreshing, amazing, ice cream that's just basically screaming "summatime!!!!" But first let's play a little game. Which one of these is not like the others? Really hard, I know. A bunch of short Italians (four of my cousins with my aunt and uncle) and then this tall, gorgeous, fair skinned, light haired beauty! Well that beauty is Kim. … [Read more...]
Roasted Carrots with Lemon-Cumin-Honey Glaze
Just look at these carrots! All cute and ready to be roasted. I found them at our local natural/organic grocery store on a day where I went shopping only knowing I need about 6 different veggies, but I just wanted to go and see what looked good. Sometimes I write out a super detailed shopping list (this happens most of the time) and I plan out exactly what I want to buy. With produce, I often get there to find that what I wanted looks sad … [Read more...]
Spicy Kale Caesar with Chicken and Candied Pepitas
You guys. I cannot tell you how much I love this recipe. Caesar salad with kale. Plus candied nuts. Plus hot sauce. Plus chicken. I hope the pictures are conveying the deliciousness or I'm going to have to keep inventing words like deliciousness to describe it. I think I'm loving on it so much because it has everything: salty, sweet, spicy. Crunch and creaminess. Hot and cold. Fresh and cooked. It hits so many notes in one bite. … [Read more...]
Warm Tomato Eggplant Relish
This recipe completes the meal shown below: Cracklin' Chicken (from Nom Nom Paleo) served with Caramelized Cauliflower and Warm Tomato Eggplant Relish. This relish is both spicy and sweet. It was one of those Chopped nights in the house where I opened the fridge, looked at the veggies I had on hand and thought hmm, "what can I do with all of this?" With the cauliflower tossed in the oven, and the chicken cracklin' away, this quick relish … [Read more...]
Caramelized Cauliflower
If you haven't figured it out by now, I love roasting vegetables. Roasting makes any vegetable better. Ok, maybe not iceberg lettuce, but you catch my drift. There's just no better flavor than that caramelized sweetness that comes from roasting. Lately with my schedule it's been all about simplicity. Quick and easy does it these days. This dish is no exception. … [Read more...]
Cracklin’ Chicken (from Nom Nom Paleo)
Today's recipe is adapted from the amazing Michelle Tam of Nom Nom Paleo whom I got to meet briefly at her book signing in my Seattle neighborhood!! As you can see below, the place was packed with a line out the door. I've already made this three times. So easy and so good. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners. I had to share her Cracklin' Chicken recipe because I just enjoy it that much. Of course you can also head to her site to … [Read more...]
Tuscan Salad with Tuna Steak
If ever I'm in a food rut, I turn to the food network. As soon as I watch show, I get inspired with flavor combinations, ingredients, and dishes. That's where this one came from. It's an adaptation of a Bobby Flay recipe that combines classic Tuscan flavors like lemon, fennel, rosemary, tuna, basil, olives, and anchovies. Do you read "anchovies" with a scowl? You like caesar salad right? What do you think is in that dressing? Delicious … [Read more...]
