What kind of recipes can you expect to find on my website?
Delicious recipes. I'm not very into sweets, so almost all of my recipes are savory dishes. I post a dessert occasionally, but I'm definitely not a fan of sweets.
Easy weeknight dinner recipes. The vast majority of my recipes are main dishes, usually containing some type of protein (chicken, pork, lamb, beef, or seafood) with vegetables (or fruits). I use spices and many other ingredients to make my dinner recipes delicious and fun. My recipes are usually high in protein and high in fiber.
Pasta recipes. A lot of my dinner recipes are pasta dishes that contain a variety of pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, orzo, gnocchi, ravioli, tortellini, etc.) mixed with cooked vegetables and a protein (usually chicken, salmon, shrimp, or scallops). I usually make a delicious sauce with the pasta (sometimes creamy, sometimes not).
authority. I've gotten used to eating salad every day, either as part of dinner or at lunch. You'll find new salad recipes posted on my website on a regular basis. You can easily add your favorite protein (such as grilled chicken, leftover cooked chicken, salmon, shrimp, etc.) to most salads to turn them into a complete meal.
One pan recipes for 30 minutes. Most of my recipes are very simple and can be made in about 30 minutes using just one cooking pan. You can expect more simple and better 30-minute dishes from now on.
Gluten-free recipes. Many of my recipes are naturally gluten-free or can easily be modified to be gluten-free.
Easily customizable recipes. Most of my recipes can be modified to be dairy-free, meat-free, or gluten-free. I've started giving advice on these modifications and will be turning them into a system from now on.
My recipes are inspired by the seasons
I use whole foods and seasonal ingredients and make sure my meals are balanced, nutritious, delicious, and fun. Many of my recipes are inspired by the seasons and use a wide range of seasonal ingredients.
Autumn-inspired recipes. In the fall, I post a lot of butternut squash, acorn squash, and spaghetti squash recipes. When apples are in season from July to December - I try to use them in dinners or salads. During September, October, and November, I like to incorporate ingredients we often associate with fall (like pecans, dried cranberries, oranges, tangerines, and pumpkin) into my recipes.
In the summer, I always use fresh tomatoes, homemade basil pesto, and fresh berries. I love peach season which usually runs from July to September. I incorporate fresh corn into dinners and salads from May through September. I love fresh cherries from June to August.
My food philosophy
The recipes I post on my website are real meals that I cook for myself, my family, and my friends. It reflects the way I eat and my philosophy on using a wide range of ingredients. I use whole foods and seasonal ingredients and make sure my meals are well-balanced and contain protein, vegetables, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and adequate amounts of fat.
Recipes are rich in protein and fiber. I prefer to eat high-protein dinners that usually contain one of my favorite proteins (chicken, beef, salmon, shrimp, scallops, lamb, etc.) accompanied by cooked or fresh vegetables and fruits – prepared in a simple, flavorful, and flavorful way. I typically base my dinners on fiber-packed complex carbohydrates, which include a wide variety of high-fiber vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, bell peppers, leafy greens, Brussels sprouts, and many others—too many to list). Some of my favorite complex carbohydrates are sweet potatoes, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, and high-fiber fruits and vegetables. I also love beans, wild rice, and quinoa.
Low carb and mostly gluten-free. I prefer to eat mostly low-carb and gluten-free foods. I eat high-quality protein pasta about 3 times a week (see next point below).
Delicious pasta dishes. I eat pasta dishes about 3 times a week. I always eat pasta with some type of protein (usually chicken, steak, or seafood) and some type of vegetable. They are often smothered in a creamy sauce or savory cheese.
Fun facts about me
I have an identical twin sister who is also a full-time food blogger! We grew up as best friends, always making things as kids. We made clothes from scratch for our dolls (and ourselves!). We even made our dolls from scratch. As adults, now, we've translated these skills into creating recipes from scratch.
I love naturally orange foods and regularly eat naturally orange vegetables and fruits, such as pumpkin and sweet acorns.
