1,2,3 Tomato, Coconut Shrimp

When temperatures drop, chilis and soups shouldn’t be your only go-tos. The Thai-inspired Tomato, Coconut Shrimp I’m sharing with you today is a fall favorite of mine. It’s perfect alone or served over rice–white, brown, jasmine or cauliflower, you pick. This dish is not only warming and satisfying, but also lean and clean.

Giada’s White Bean Summer Chili

As you probably guessed, this chili is a Giada De Laurentiis original recipe. I’m a big fan because I’m always on the hunt for meal prep-friendly recipes that are simple, mess-free and filling. While chili is my usual go-to, it’s not exactly a meal I crave on hot summer days. That is, until I found this recipe.

[Blue Apron] Baked Pepper + Potato Hash

If you know me, you know I have an affinity for subscription boxes. From Ipsy and Birchbox to Factor 75 and Plated–I’ve tried them all and I feel some type of way for them all. When it comes to home chef type boxes, Sun Basket is definitely my favorite.

Collagen + Fruit Smoothie

Collagen, collagen, collagen. Everyone is talking about collagen these days. I first learned about collagen protein from my trainer who suggested it when I asked for a post-gym supplement. I did a quick Google search and found that collagen promotes healthy joints, hair, skin and nails. SOLD!

NO bean turkey & squash chiLi

I started making chili when I first moved from Miami to Chicago, and the novelty of it never wore off. In my past life, I only ate chili on the rare occasion it dipped below 60 in South Florida. However, the Midwest taught me there are countless ways to tailor and incorporate chili into your diet — regardless of temperature or dietary restrictions.

THREE cheese veggie frittata

After spending three weeks away from home, I felt myself yearning to be back in MY kitchen. I emphasize MY because there’s something special about a person’s very own kitchen. The mismatched pans, the collection of knives and colorful bowls, they all carry a story. In this case, a story about me.
