Millet Vegetable Stir-Fry

Oct 09, 2015 | By Melissa

Mind, prepare to be blown: Stir Friday. Yes…it’s the solution to my weekly pleadings with my family to name something other than pizza (Jake) or meatloaf (Dave) when I ask what to cook for dinner. Stir Friday. I love it for so many reasons: 1) it still allows room for creativity, because “stir-fry” is a […]

Quinoa and Chickpea Tortilla Soup

Sep 26, 2015 | By Melissa

When I was a kid, my mom used to make this amazing white chili. It was a football season/New Year’s Eve tradition for us. My brother and I totally loved it, because we always ate this chili with a mountain of Cool Ranch Doritos (old school flavors are best, baby) and an avalanche of shredded […]

Lemongrass Coconut Noodles with Mushrooms and Tomatoes

Sep 23, 2015 | By Melissa

When my mom comes to visit, I get kind of excited. For obvious reasons! She’s the best! But also because her visits pull me out of my dinner ruts. She doesn’t eat wheat or dairy, so sometimes I have to get really creative to make meals that we can all enjoy! (We eat a lot […]

Rainbow Baked Eggs

Sep 08, 2015 | By Melissa

As you may be aware, my husband and I have radically different food tastes. If he could eat whatever he wanted for the rest of his life, he would be staring down a long succession of barbecues, charcuterie, spicy chicken wings, corned beef and cabbage, anything that goes well with rice (basically all Asian cuisines, […]

Grilled Mediterranean Flatbread with Pesto and Feta

Aug 24, 2015 | By Melissa

Sarah and I have been meaning to grill together for ages. Inevitably, we gather all of the ingredients and our courage to cook with charcoal, and then it pours rain. But this week we were determined, rain or shine, to grill some veggies and some flatbreads! Naturally, on the big morning, the rain clouds rolled […]

Shrimp Tostadas

Jul 22, 2015 | By Melissa

This is just the kind of quick meal I love to throw together when I’ve been having a busy day and I want to get dinner on the table without a lot of fuss. A tostada is kind of like a taco salad that you pick up and eat with your hands. It can be […]

Kale, Pepper, and Onion White Pizza

Jul 06, 2015 | By Melissa

Recently, I had quite a shock: apparently, my husband likes kale. What?! When did this happen, and how did I not know about it? In other news…this pizza is delicious (and healthy, to boot)! Since there is no sauce, it is a breeze to put together. I love how the kale crisps up in the […]

Crab Quinoa Salad with Lemon Butter

Jun 26, 2015 | By Melissa

When I was a kid, my family went out to eat about once a month, and for a long time, we almost always went to Red Lobster. I learned quite young that crab meat dripping with drawn butter is amazing. My parents graciously let me steal chunks of crab from their plates and didn’t complain […]

Spicy Peanut Noodles with Shrimp

May 19, 2015 | By Melissa

I can’t believe my beautiful girl is 4 weeks old! But it was a long road in getting there (and I’m not just talking about sleepless nights)…did you know she was a week overdue? I spent a lot of time during the last few weeks of my pregnancy doing one “last” adventure with Jake, one […]

Green Goddess Egg Salad

May 12, 2015 | By Melissa

This is possibly the best egg salad in the whole world. I don’t say that lightly, believe me: egg salad is on my top five list of favorite foods, and I have eaten it almost daily since Jake was born. I love eggs. But this egg salad is a symphony of amazing flavor! It’s herby […]
