What happens when you have a snow day, really want brunch and also a pizza? You make pizza brunch bagels! My first memories of pizza bagels were from my internship at Johns Hopkins Hospital back in the summer of 2013. A few of the people I worked with raved about the great pizza bagels made…

Protein-Packed “Greek Yogurt” Styled Carbonara: Soybean Noodles, Ground Chicken, Kale and Peas, all in a Creamy and Cheesy Greek Yogurt Sauce
I am not a huge pasta fan, but every once in awhile I get a craving for a good pasta. However (nutritionally), a pasta meal doesn’t always make the cut for me. Over the past few years, I have read a number of ways you can “make pasta healthier”. Typically, I do this by not…
Blissful Breakfast Buddha Bowl: Kale, Edamame, Cherry Tomatoes, Butternut Squash Noodles, and Seed Toast with Scallion Cream Cheese
It has been a full (but great!) week, and I am so thrilled to have the chance to cook and create again this weekend! One of my favorite meals to “reset” is a Buddha Bowl. Buddha Bowls are SO satisfying, and you can basically use whatever vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, proteins, etc. that you…
Dad’s Famous Pancakes (or, as he calls them, “Dadcakes”): Whole Wheat Pancake Mix, Stuffed with Fresh Blueberries, Pecan Pieces and Light Brown Sugar, Topped with Whipped Cream and Maple Syrup
My family has come a LONG way in our pancake game – for many years, we used the “shake” containers and just added water. In the past few years though, along with a change in eating habits and food preferences in general, we started experimenting. Especially my Dad. I rarely order pancakes out (I don’t…
Superhero Soup for Sickness: Bone Broth, Leafy Greens, Spring Onion, Garlic, Cayenne Pepper and Tofu, Topped with Dollops of Sriracha and Sprinkled with Black Pepper
Whelp. I finally got the plague that has been circulating around my house, the office, my friends, my family – basically, everywhere. I finally felt well enough to cook something the other day and I decided to craft a new recipe from a bunch of ingredients that are claimed to help heal the body (or at least…
Unique Meat, Grain, Cheese and Vegetable Dinner: Pesto Pearled Couscous, Served with a Variety of Baked Vegetables, Topped with Fried Halloumi Cheese and Crisped Prosciutto Slices
I am ALL ABOUT creating restaurant-worthy meals at home. Yes, it is definitely super nice to go out to eat (don’t get me wrong). No trips to the grocery store, time spent preparing food, no mountains of dishes and a nice change of scenery. But, sometimes, cooking in your pajamas with a glass of wine that…
Baked Molasses Glazed Salmon and Vanilla Cinnamon Persimmon Reduction: Baked Salmon with a Sweetened Molasses Glaze, Topped with a Vanilla Cinnamon Persimmon Reduction and Sugared Rosemary, Paired with Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Fresh Arugula, and Raw Pistachios
Really looking to *wow* someone for Valentine’s Day (or any day honestly haha!)? Look no further than this recipe – my “Baked Molasses Glazed Salmon and Vanilla Cinnamon Persimmon Reduction” paired with an assortment of greens and pistachios. Not only is the presentation stunning and very seasonal in feel, but the flavors are unique, savory,…
Easy Honey Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings”: Lightly Breaded Cauliflower Florets, Covered in a Delicious Honey Buffalo Sauce and Baked to Crisp Perfection
First of all (I’ll admit) – these turned out WAY better than I expected them too! They were so good that I wiped through an entire tray with three other people in less than a half hour. So, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. I actually don’t really like cauliflower (unless it’s blended into a soup or…
Seasonal Satsuma Orange Chocolate Avocado Mousse: Avocado, Banana, and Satsuma Oranges, Topped with Pomegranate Seeds, Chocolate Chips, and Triple Cream Skyr
It’s my birthday weekend (with my actual birthday being tomorrow), so I figured I would kick it off with one of my favorite dessert creations – Seasonal Satsuma Orange Chocolate Avocado Mousse! I have tried a number of avocado mousses, but in all honesty this one is my absolute favorite and a huge hit with my family…
