Howdy!
Here’s the truth…I am not naturally fit or thin and I don’t naturally reach for vegetables. I am not a chef, but I’m good at assembling ingredients. I put in the work. I believe in feeling and looking my best — but not compromising! Here you will find good ingredients (think clean comfort food), real wellness, made fun! Let’s LIVE WELL!
(Progress, not perfection, baby)
Latest and Greatest!
THE Leek Sauce
I call this THE SAUCE. It’s creamy, savory, relatively healthy and so darn delicious it hurts. Best on salmon, great on everything else! Sauce and rice amirite?
TLAT (Turkey, Lettuce, Avo & Tomato)
BLAT but make it Turkey Bacon! This sandwich doesn’t quite qualify as “bad” (compared to the shake shack ? I had last night) but dang it was good.
Sautéed Savoy Cabbage
A few ingredients + an underrated vegetable make for a delicious, hearty and simple side. I am all about vegetables that hold their own with very little work!
Garlic Roasted Potatoes
These are perfectly cooked, slightly crispy, a little browned, salty, garlicky and delicious. My mom used to make similar ones out of canned potatoes, and no word of lie, I prefer those but opt for fresh!
Rainbow Nachos
I was craving nachos. So nachos I made. With a sprinkling of watermelon radish cause eat the rainbow ?
Turkey Chili
It’s finally cold in LA and that calls for TURKEY CHILI that is healthy, super satisfying and delicious + an excuse for ALL the toppings and jalapeño cheese buns.
Clean Caesar Salad
I love a good Caesar salad, I mean who doesn’t? I wouldn’t necessarily call a Caesar salad “a healthy option” BUT have no fear. This one is clean without compromising ANY flavor
Roasted Summer Vegetable Pasta Salad
Healthy but perfectly satiating. Great for a party or potluck. Super forgiving and allows for some creativity!
Rice Cake Tuna Melt
This is my favorite lunch on the planet to make and is so damn delicious I had to tell the world about it and share my recipe! (tuna companies, DM me re: sponsorship, I’m your girl)
Buffalo Bolognese
The easiest, yummiest, least fussy, sexy meal. Buffalo Bolognese or as my good friend coined for me… “Buffalognese”.
Skirt Steak Tacos
I went to Malibu for a walk and HAD to get a burrito from Lily’s but the wait was 45 minutes + a 45 minute drive so I said SCREW IT ILL MAKE MY OWN…and that’s what she did. Except grain free tacos.
Crab Linguini
My favorite pasta is linguine vongole (clams), but LOVE crab and if I could, I would eat it everyday. So I made a version of the pasta with crab YOUR WELCOME. “The most delicious pasta EVER “
