I originally saw this recipe in Eating Well Magazine and immediately thought it would be a great ‘make-ahead-lunch-idea 8217;. It’s one of those recipes that works hot, cold, or at room ...
it’s just too easy not to know! Having frozen brown rice in the freezer will give you a great ‘head-start’ option when time is not on your side and (as you’ll see in the video...
I almost always have a container of brown rice (or quinoa) hanging out in my fridge – if for no other reason than to whip up my Easy Brown Rice And Black Beans. Yes, it’s true… Kat...
So, as you’ll see, I subbed in some whole grain pasta, added some peas, and used (mostly) Greek yogurt for the mayo. This meal is like a tuna sammie in a bowl and just so happens to be a hit wi...

Here’s the simple truth of it… broccoli stems are as delicious as the florets and if you have a really fresh head of broccoli, dare I say, the stems can be even more sweet and tender than...
it just so happens to be nutritious. My three favorite adjectives when it comes to cooking (excluding the most obvious, which would be delicious!). This has become one of my favorite ways to make bro...
SO, last week I received an email from YouTube informing me that I’ve been selected as a nominee for their “On The Rise Program”. This is a program where they choose four YouTube p...

This is another video that we shot nearly a year ago (when I was still pregnant with Jachs!) and are finally able to share! The only catch is that I forgot to take a photo of the final product so yo...
and if you don’t know how to deal with the grit you can ruin your whole meal!! Trust me… I’ve learned this the hard way:). Hope you find this one helpful.
Like creating a nail salon on the kitchen counter. What can I tell you… the girl is OBSESSED with nail polish and who I am to stand in her little girl way? Besides, she’s not all that goo...
A rich, creamy, decadent Chocolate Mousse that is NOT packed with saturated fats!! I’ll even go one step further. How about a rich, creamy, chcolate mousse that IS PACKED with healthy fats. You...
you could easily prep and season the wings the night before so come Super Bowl Sunday all you have to do is pop them in the oven. This is especially helpful if you are having some friends over and d...
This recipe could not be any easier… basically all you have to do is cut your sweet potato into strips, season them and pop them in the oven for about 20 minutes. I love how the heat from the c...
Back in October of 2007 I posted my original Knife Skills video, and although the production was pretty good, apparently my knife skills were not. I received lots of comments and some pretty critical...
If I showed you the easiest and quickest way to cut up a pineapple then perhaps I could: Save you a few bucks (b/c you would no longer be tempted to buy them pre-cut) Encourage you to buy and eat thi...
which is of course why I am a huge advocate of ‘pre-preppin’ (but that’s a whole other story!) After spending three (fun-filled!) weeks on the east coast being over-tired, under-pre...

There was a time when I felt the need to add some form of green veggie into nearly everything dish I cooked. It didn’t much matter what the dish was, I would find one way or another to get in ...
I have began to realize that a huge obstacle standing in the way of people cooking nutritious, delicious meals for themselves is that they simply don’t know how to select, store, and prepare th...
It takes a little bit of effort but I promise you the reward is well worth the ‘work’. This is also a great job to have your children do because it’s safe (no knives), it’s fu...
