I have a thing with soup. Something about a simmering pot of soup on the stove is just comforting to me. The stirring, the taste testing – and then later knowing that you’ve got an easy, go to meal just waiting for you! The other day I was craving sausage and grabbed a pack of…
Nourishing Kale and Bean Soup
January. The time where many make resolutions, mostly revolving around eating better, exercising more and generally trying live a healthier life. I’m three days in to re-committing to clean eating. I kind of had a torrid affair with all things sweet over the holidays and my body is not happy. Not at all. I…
Chili Lime Halibut with Kale Pesto
I get really excited when I find a reasonable price for fresh, wild caught Alaskan halibut at my favorite market. It is truly my favorite fish to cook and eat. It has such a wonderful texture and buttery flavor and is easy to grill or sear on the stove top. No fishy smell or taste,…

Kale Smashed Potatoes with Chicken Sausage
I was in Trader Joe’s the other day and they were handing out samples of their premade mashed potatoes mixed with kale. Of course I tried it – and it was SO good. A really amazing combination. I marched myself right back to the produce department and grabbed some potatoes and kale – I knew I…
Sesame Kale Chips
Here’s the deal: I’m not going to lie and be all like “These kale chips taste JUST like potato chips.” Because that would be a bold faced lie and I know you’re not dumb. The only similarity is that they have salt on them and are vegetables. (This is a pet peeve, by the way….
