When I think of fall cooking, apples and pork often come to mind. This easy, healthy-yet-hearty single skillet dish combines the two deliciously – and the cooking time – it’s just 15 minutes! The original recipe for this dish was kindly sent to me by a chef colleague of mine, […]

Strawberry Pretzel Pie
If you love Strawberry Pretzel Salad, you are going to LOVE this (now) guilt-free pie! I created a fresher-than-ever amazingly lighter version of the beloved dessert-style salad for Eat What You Love Quick and Easy, but after seeing a pie variation from the New York Times, I was immediately inspired […]
15-Minute Pasta with Chicken and Fresh Pomodoro Sauce
15-Minutes to tasty, healthy, pasta perfection! Even a healthy-sounding pasta entrée like Pasta Pomodoro (pasta with fresh tomatoes, olive oil and garlic), can have over 1,000 calories when ordered out. Plumped up with tender strips of chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, and plenty of garlic, this incredibly fresh and flavorful pasta […]
Southwest Black Bean and Corn Salad
This is one of my all-time go-to summer salads. It’s healthy, colorful, and always a hit. Best of all, not only does it look and taste great, it goes well with just about anything that can be thrown on a grill – from burgers and dogs to grilled meats, chicken, and fish. […]
Super Simple Chicken Pizzaiolo
This pizza-inspired dish is not only super simple but also just plain super! In fact, the first time I made this my hungry husband and teenage sons loved it so much, they barely left me a bite. Better yet, without the crust of pizza or the bread coating of chicken […]
Quick & Easy Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese
There is no reason to grab a blue box of macaroni and cheese when you have a recipe that is as easy as this and results in something SO much better. This recipe is an updated version of the stovetop macaroni and cheese I created for my first Eat What […]
5-Ingredient, 15-Minute Black Bean Soup for Two
It’s hard not to say Olė to a scrumptious soup with only 5-ingredients that takes only 15-minutes to make. Honestly, “homemade” just doesn’t get much easier—or faster. I use canned black beans for convenience and then combine them with prepared salsa, eliminating the need for several additional ingredients. Not only […]
Wholesome Banana Bread Recipe
Sweet, moist, and with just the right amount of banana flavor – this lightened up loaf (that’s also low in added sugars) has been declared the “best” time and time again. I developed this recipe using a mixture of white whole wheat and all-purpose flour for a wholesome, yet still, […]
CRISPY CHICKEN STRIPS WITH RANCH DRESSING
Fast food found its match in heaven when chicken strips were created. I found my own heavenly match when I tested this recipe in my air fryer. My son James–a chicken strip aficionado– was the judge for the coating. After several tries with various coating mixtures, he declared the simple […]
Asian BBQ Drummies
This recipe does double duty as a light entrée or a hearty appetizer. It’s also a perfect example of how pressure cooking and slow cooking can differ as this recipe can be cooked either way. Whether you use an instant pot or single function pressure cooker, when cooked under pressure […]
