Steak fajitas. Need I say more? Ok, I’ll say a few more words. Fajitas are a staple weekday dinner in our house. Ready in under 30 minutes with minimal dishes and clean up afterwards. When it’s a busy night, I use a pre-seasoned carne asada from the grocery store. Trader Joe’s has a great one …
I absolutely love my local farmer’s market. Yes, I know, it’s basic but you know what I’m not ashamed! Living in California’s central valley, I’m so lucky that I have access to such amazing fresh produce. There’s something so fun to me about wandering and letting the food speak to you. “What am I having …
Parmesan and lemon make for a delicious and tangy combo on these chicken cutlets! Serve with your favorite veggie (my favorites are asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower with this recipe). If you’re keto, swap the flour for more parmesan! Or hey just add more parmesan if you’re like me and always want the most cheese.
I’ve been trying to get back on the healthy meal game but it’s also still way too hot to turn on my oven (thanks, Fresno in August). This is a quick and easy salad that will leave you full and happy (as happy as a salad can make anyone… I mean it’s not a cookie …
A light and fresh salad for hot days! The watermelon gives this salad some sweetness and the feta balances it out wonderfully with a sharp bite. Eat it as a side dish, or pair it with balsamic marinated chicken for a meal.
You know I’m all about recipes that are fast, easy, and delicious. These Cinnamon sugar protein pancake muffins are sure to please the whole gang! The protein pancake mix is made with whole grain and packs 16 grams of protein per 2 muffins, which is pretty awesome if you ask me! I made these into …
My parents have been eating a mostly Mediterranean diet, which inspired me to make some delicious grilled chicken tzatziki bowls!

Making fresh pesto is so easy and SO worth it! Yes, this pesto will be… the best-o. I’m sorry, please don’t go I promise it’s a good recipe. The way I make my pesto uses less oil than traditional pesto recipes which makes it slightly healthier without sacrificing any of the flavor. Use it on …
Another pasta recipe? Groundbreaking. But seriously, this is my favorite way to make pesto pasta. It’s creamy, spicy, bright, and suuuper easy. Add this to your weeknight pasta recipe rotation! This pasta is pretty filling on its own, but you can add some lemon herb chicken or salmon to make it a bigger meal, or …
This recipe is a crazy combination of flavors. There’s a LOT going on in the best way: bitter shishito peppers, sweet corn, spicy jalapeƱos, salty pistachios and parmesan, and brightness from fresh lemon, basil, and mint. But this is a symphony of textures and flavors that’s surprisingly subtle. It sneaks up on you and leaves …
This is my latest breakfast obsession, coconut chia seed pudding. My friend ordered this in a little coffee shop in Santa Monica and as soon as I had a bite I knew I needed to try and recreate it! Luckily it’s super easy to make. Just add all your ingredients together and mix, let chill …
Basically a version of bacon, onion, and cheese pasta that feels fancy but is still super easy to whip together! Leeks are mild onion varieties, almost like something in between a green onion, a yellow onion, and a shallot. Pancetta is kind of like an Italian bacon, but I really like it because I buy …
