While I admit, I have the gift of a short memory for many things, I’m pretty certain my Dad made some version of this salad when I was a kid. As smart as my Dad is, he likely made this the easy way by combing the beans and onions and tossing in his favorite (store-bought) […]
We are so in love with this dish! This is dinner once, sometimes twice a week! Everyone in the family enjoys Kung Pao Tofu and with a little planning, and food prep, this can cook up really quickly. On the weeks that I am organized, I will spend a couple hours on Sunday afternoon prepping […]

We absolutely LOVE Thai food. Many moons ago, we learned to make this soup in a Thai cooking class and have customized the original recipe we learned. This soup is a top request by our kids and lands on our table weekly. It’s a quick and easy weeknight meal. This Thai Coconut Soup version is […]
My favorite breakfast! Yes…lentils for breakfast. Red lentils cook up quickly and are filled with protein, iron, folate (aka Vitamin B9), and potassium. Start your day with this satisfying and energy-boosting dish! This recipe is a complete meal on its own and easy to modify too…please see the recipe notes for variations. Once cooked up […]
