I had never poached eggs until this weekend and holy moly - it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. My favorite egg style is sunny-side up followed by over easy. I won't pass up a frittata or an omelette though. Scrambled is fine, but I guess to me, it's a bit too… Continue reading Recipe: How to poach eggs and Salmon Benedict
Guys, it's hot outside, which means it's hot inside. It's not just hot, it's humid and muggy. Last year when we moved into our apartment, aside from the fitness center, one of the outdoor amenities that really excited us, was the grilling. We have access to both charcoal and gas grills. While charcoal is perfect… Continue reading Recipe: Grilled Chicken Shawarma Skewers
Updated - I know that there's more to breakfast other than eggs, but I really do like them. I don't think I've met an egg style that I didn't enjoy. They're a staple breakfast because like pancakes mixes, they're quick and easy and filling. As I'm thinking about this recipe, I'm realizing that while I… Continue reading Recipe: Egg Stuffed Red Onion
I owe you this recipe. A few weeks ago I went on a chicken salad kick, mostly because I love dill and this was an easy way to get in some protein without a ton of carbohydrates. I don't like to put food into categories - I want to eat what I want when I… Continue reading Recipe: Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad

I've talked about my own struggles with food and there are… Continue reading Recipe: Classic and Thin Crust with Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

It's single digits and with the wind, we're hitting negative temperatures. I live in New England and every year I repeat silently, I did it to myself. I like it here, but no amount of time makes it easier dealing with the snow, the bitter cold or plastic wrapping my windows. Yes, for those in… Continue reading Recipe: Broccoli Cheddar Soup
It wasn't until after college that I ate seafood other than canned tuna as tuna salad. However, it wasn't until a former student of mine and I met for sushi a few years ago that I started to really get adventurous with my seafood. There are still things I don't like such as lobster -… Continue reading Recipe: Tuna Burgers
My schedule this fall is pretty steady because I know which days are busy and which days I have down time. The days I have down time vary in what they're filled with, but are pretty spread out. Tuesdays are pretty light: I eat, I workout, I do homework and sometimes when my Wednesday client… Continue reading Recipe: Stove-top Lattes
What happens when I find things in the pantry I forget I had? I start skimming through Pinterest so I can make it a fun consumable and get it out of the pantry. Today's adventure was with a can of pumpkin puree. In the fall I always have a can on hand and I won't… Continue reading Recipe: Pumpkin and Oat Bites
