I love a good stir fry for a quick and easy meal—especially when all the ingredients are prepped. With a hot wok and only a few minutes, dinner is on the table! This Sweet ‘n Sour Stir Fry has vibrant veggies and fresh, bold flavors. I like to serve it over starch-resistant rice or cauliflower […]

Salads are a no-brainer for me. I don’t post many salad recipes unless it is a “special” salad that goes outside of the formula I usually use. We eat a lot of salads around here as a side dish alongside a meal or for lunch. This way, I can use the bits and pieces of […]

This potato salad has a unique flavor and texture that reminds me of a German potato salad.

I love fajitas! I usually make the fajita components on the grill, but sometimes it is nice not to go out in the heat and make it hotter by tending a hot grill. On rainy days, I can make fajitas indoors on my stovetop grill, but what I sometimes do if I am not feeling […]
