Chicken soup (aka chicken broth or chicken stock) has long been known as “Jewish Penicillin” for it’s healing benefits. Recently, bone broth has become very trendy for the same reasons. People are drinking it to lose weight, improve their skin and nourish their joints. Bone broth (both chicken and beef) is a staple
In honor of June being Pride Month, and because it’s always good to “eat the rainbow” I give you this amazing Rainbow Salad Jar recipe. By using a 32 ounce glass mason jar and stacking the ingredients from wettest to dryest (with your greens at the top), you can meal prep these jars once and eat them all week. They
In honor of #NationalSmoothieDay today, I’m sharing another one of my favorite Fab Four Smoothie recipes. It’s made with mixed berries and chocolate so it’s deliciously sweet and a little bit savory. The combination of berries and chocolate is fantastic. And because it follows Kelly Leveque’s Fab Four formula,
This strawberry basil Fab Four Smoothie tastes like summer in a glass. It's rich, sweet, fruity and creamy (even though it contains no dairy or sweeteners.) The best part? The Fab Four combination of protein, fat, fiber and greens will elongate your blood sugar curve and keep you full for hours.
I love having a BIG salad for dinner. And this crunchy savory chopped salad fits the bill. It comes together in about 10 minutes, making it the star of a weeknight dinner, potluck or elevated lunch.

The advantage of the pressure cooker is that you can get them on the table (and into your mouth) in right around an hour. They get their smoky flavor from a mix of bacon, smoked paprika and a ham hock.
It's a vinaigrette. It's a salad dressing. It's a sauce. It's a marinade. I had a heck of a time coming up with a name for this recipe, because it's less of a recipe and more of a technique. And when I say "technique" don't get scared and think that it's too fancy. What I really mean is that you throw five very simple ingredients
Made with only 5 simple ingredients in 45 minutes the "trick" to this recipe is that you add the vinaigrette mixture to the cooked potatoes when they are warm. That lets the warm potatoes soak in all of the lemony, herby, garlic-y goodness. And it's Paleo, vegan, gluten-free, and Whole30 compliant.
Guacamole is my spirit animal. It’s definitely one of my all-time favorite foods, especially in the summer when the tomatoes and Jalapeno peppers are really fresh.
