When it's cold and gray outside, I want a meal that's comforting, filling, and hearty. Winter is the perfect time of year for chili, stews, and soups - not just because of the freezing temps, but because more people are coming down with colds or the flu too. Whether you're feeling fine, or getting ill, … Continue reading Hearty Chicken, Kale, and Potato Soup

How to Cut a Squash for an Autumn Squash & Spinach Salad
As many of my fellow Southerners know, fall weather in Nashville is pretty unpredictable. One morning you'll be missing the pool due to the heat, and the next day you find yourself dusting off that winter coat. I've been cooking warmer dishes like curry, and chili, but I also like to take advantage of the … Continue reading How to Cut a Squash for an Autumn Squash & Spinach Salad
Sweet Potato Nachos with Instant Pot Carnitas
For Christmas, my mom got me an Instant Pot, and for the past few months, I've been experimenting and learning how to use it (I have yet to try boiling eggs in it, which I really want to try next). What I've liked cooking most in my pot is chicken and meat - it cooks … Continue reading Sweet Potato Nachos with Instant Pot Carnitas
Homemade Pickled Red Onions
Take back Taco Tuesday with a vengeance, with these easy-to-make, delightful pickled red onions. Fresh cilantro, pickled onions, and a lime wedge can really bump your taco game up a notch.

Great for people who need to eat a … Continue reading Cauliflower Tabbouleh (Tabouli)
Lemon Tahini Fish
When trying to eat low fat, but high protein, I love to incorporate white fish into my diet. Cod is one of my favorites because it's flavorful and inexpensive; I also enjoy making halibut. I've always said Nashville would be the perfect place to live, if we were bordered by an ocean, and had fresh … Continue reading Lemon Tahini Fish
Fried Cauliflower Rice
Believe it or not, it IS possible to re-create fried rice with cauliflower. When I first tell people this, they never believe me - "But... it can't possibly taste the same!" That's where your wrong kiddo, cause it can. I'll admit, the texture is slightly different, but it can really cure that craving for take-out … Continue reading Fried Cauliflower Rice
Buffalo Cauliflower
Just because I love to eat healthy a lot of the time, doesn't mean I don't miss eating Hooter's Buffalo Wings with some good ole ranch. Trust me, I miss that. I'm not much of a sports fan but, I enjoy going to watch a UFC fight with friends, order hot wings, and go through … Continue reading Buffalo Cauliflower
Whole30 Zuppa Toscano Soup
Been home for two days, and I'm still coming down from my "New Orleans, New Year's" high. New Orleans is one of my favorite cities for so many reasons - a 300 year old city packed with rich history, diverse culture, and delectable food. I had the most wonderful New Year's trip, but I'll save … Continue reading Whole30 Zuppa Toscano Soup

Here we are days away from October, and it's still warm outside (at least it is in Tennessee). Well, I don't care… Summer has ended, and I am ready for everything fall has to offer.
