One of the best ways to eat healthy and stick with it is to add spices and flavors to your food. Without spice, flavor, and variety, you will surely become bored and start craving other foods... and probably less healthy ones. I like this Blackened Seasoning Blend because it's so easy, so fast, makes no mess, and really adds flavor to protein. Plain grilled chicken, salmon, beef, or shrimp can easily get boring fast. And if you've gone to a … [Read more...]

Wintertime Clementine Salsa
Every winter the cutest, sweetest little snacks always make their appearance. Clementines. I love these things. They actually always remind me of my dad, I think because he just loves them so much. I can picture him eating one in the kitchen saying, "it tastes like candy!" He would often … [Read more...]
Butternut Squash Soup with Apple and Carrot
With cold weather sweeping across the country, it just felt like soup time. I had the Sesame Beef side dishes ready to post, but I'm going to save those for later. I'm sure you'd rather have soup first! The news broadcasts and talk show hosts are having a field day talking about the weather. I am particularly enjoying Jimmy … [Read more...]

I guess there's something about making it yourself. I ate way more of it than my usual 1-2 bites! It was the perfect pairing with my Herbed & Crusted Turkey Breast. Trying to find a way to sweeten these tart berries without the 1/2 - 1 cup white … [Read more...]
Sage Roasted Acorn Squash & Brussels Sprouts
As I mentioned, I recently came back from a great trip in Denver and Fort Collins, Colorado. At one point I was having dinner, smiling, and laughing with … [Read more...]
Thyme Broiled Asparagus
I love the taste of grilled asparagus, but in the dead of winter, if you don't have a grill, or you just want a quicker dish, that doesn't always work so well. This is my go-to recipe for asparagus. … [Read more...]
Herbed Green Bean and Radish Salad
If you are following a clean paleo diet (which means you follow the strictest paleo diet guidelines) you would not eat green beans. They'd be on the "do not fly" list. Green beans are in fact "beans" as their name denotes. Beans are legumes. The paleo diet does not include legumes. … [Read more...]
