A few months ago, I was brainstorming a brownie recipe to put on the blog. I tried different ingredients to "improve" upon classic brownies. I added a little baking powder or soda to see if I could make them fluffier, I added too much flour, reduced the butter and chocolate, and so many other brownie mistakes. Needless to say, they didn't turn out. They weren't inedible, but were more like a sad, flat chocolate cake. No one needs that. Consequently, I took a brownie hiatus. But I have ... continue reading...
Spicy Sweet Potato Peanut Soup with Kale Pesto
I get it, this recipe has a long title. I actually wanted to call it Spicy Sweet Potato Peanut Soup with Kale PUMPKIN SEED Pesto, but decided that was two words too long. But take note! This pesto uses kale and pumpkin seeds. How genius is that? Even though I can get fresh basil this time of year, that screams summer to me and I wanted to give you something different. But you know I love pesto! Check out this shrimp pesto pasta recipe for my "poor man's pesto," which uses almonds instead of pine ... continue reading...
Sesame Chicken Salad
I don't think I need to convince you that salads are usually a pretty healthy option. As long as you aren't loading them with cheese, unhealthy dressings, etc., they're generally going to be a healthy lunch or dinner option for you.

Like a lot of things though, I sometimes find myself getting ... continue reading...
BBQ Shrimp and Grits

While my relationship with Chick-fil-A was love at first bite, it took me some time to come around to grits. I didn't understand the concept. To me, they seemed similar to cream of wheat, but I couldn't wrap my hand around eating this creamy mush as a savory dish. Loaded with bacon and cheese? I didn't get it. But I have seen the light. I love grits. And shrimp and grits have ... continue reading...
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas
Who doesn't love enchiladas? A tortilla that you can fill with endless options, and cover with sauce and cheese? Sign me up. They're easy to throw together in advance and cover with sauce and cheese before baking, making them a dream for those of you who meal prep. These sweet potato black bean enchiladas are filled with ingredients that are good for you, which I'm going to say cancels out the cheesy topping. I made sure this recipe wasn't too spicy, because everything that you see on ... continue reading...
