I packed my own lunch most days, but when the cafeteria was serving popcorn shrimp, I put my hard-earned minimum wage dollars on the line. It was worth it every single time! My dietary choices in high school were not the most prudent (if I forgot my lunch, I’d eat French fries and a big Rice Krispy treat). Now, I want the weeknight meals I cook at home to be reasonably healthy, but I have not lost that high school affinity for fried shrimp....

These chips are a hover situation. As in, I’m going hover in the kitchen, hover over the container, and hover anywhere else where I can feasibly sneak another little handful before someone else beats me to it. Because these baked cinnamon apple chips are a healthy snack, you can hover to your heart’s content. About These Apple Chips My first experience with homemade apple chips was elementary school, when my dad purchased a food dehydrator and decided that we were going to dry everything....

My healthy burger trick: make the patties with a mix of lean ground beef and black beans! Black beans are inexpensive and full of healthy plant-based protein and fiber. Beef gives you savory flavor, protein, and zinc, but you don’t need as much of it when your patties are a mix. I make a mean black bean Vegan Burger and stellar turkey burgers too (especially these Teriyaki Burgers), but combining beef AND beans didn’t occur to me, until I watched Rachel Ray do it on the Food Network years ago....

Lately, I’ve been trying to find new and exciting ways to sneak more protein, fruits, and veggies into my day, and smoothies are one of my favorite go-to morning and afternoon boosts. When planning our month-long Yummiest Ever Smoothie Series (see this Green Smoothie, this Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie, and this Peach Smoothie if you’d like to catch up), I started by brainstorming which fruits are good for smoothies. Berries, like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, along with bananas are some of the best, most delicious, and healthy fruits to add to a smoothie, with blueberries being my favorite....

So if you’re feeling like you need some cozy noms, grab the closest Brazilian cookbook (or, well, maybe come to this blog?...

Happy #IceCreamWeek, everybody! Me and some of my blogger friends decided that we should take a whole week to celebrate frozen deliciouness, so I’m gonna post 3 ice cream recipes this week! Woohoo! ??? But before we get to that, I want to start this post by getting something out of the way: I absolutely suck at scooping perfect ice cream balls. I consequently suck even further at photographing it and it ends up melting everywhere and I end up snacking on all the meltyness and when I realize I have no ice cream left to try and fix the situation....

For those of you who don’t necessarily want to mess with a grill, or an oven, or just want a very quick steak dinner, a simple stove-top butter-basting is a great solution to making a perfect steak. Throw in some herbs and shallots, and you will have a steak exploding with flavors. The best part about a butter-basted steak is that you get a deeply caramelized, dark bark. That’s where most of the flavor comes from in a steak – a richly caramelized bark....

I fully intended to make a wholesome, veggie-packed carrot smoothie. I blended together what appeared to be an innocent mix of chopped carrots, pineapple, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cashew milk only to realize I’d inadvertently made a carrot smoothie that tastes just like my favorite Healthy Carrot Cake. This may be the happiest kitchen accident ever. I mean, I really should receive an award for this smoothie because it:...
