Chard and Sweet Potato Hash-brown Breakfast

Not usually a “healthy eating” fanatic, but these hashbrowns just happen to be really good for you! Honestly I like them better than normal hashbrowns. Since I discovered them on the Centr app (which I highly recommend), they have become a staple weekend breakfast at 

Gingered Carrots

Gingered Carrots

I am not a lover of carrots. This recipe convinced me I can have them as a side and enjoy it! It’s a great addition to your side repertoire. The original is from “The New American Plate”, so you know it’s healthy. I haven’t made 

Spaghetti con le Sarde

Spaghetti con le Sarde

I discovered this dish when my husband and I were trying rally hard to figure out with the 4 cans of sardines my parents inexplicably left at our house. After making it, I can’t believe it’s not more popular. It’s super tasty and very quick 

Turkey Tikka Masala

Watermelon Feta Salad

Watermelon Feta Salad

Big fan of watermelon and feta in the summer. But I do feel that it often needs a little something extra like blueberries and mint or basil. This salad is often shown as a “pizza” served on top of a watermelon wedge. It looks pretty, 

Red Cabbage and Delicata Squash Dinner Salad

Red Cabbage and Delicata Squash Dinner Salad

I found this recipe in The Pumpkin Cookbook by Deedee Stovel.  I just love that cookbook and am obsessed with this recipe. The only drawback is that delicata squash is really only available in season. This dinner salad is best eaten right away. It does
