Salmon Brown Rice Salad
I had about 10 minutes to pack myself lunch and voila! Healthy, filling, colorful and delicious, and made with whatever fresh veggies you have on hand. You'll love this one!

The Fit Cook's Pho
I love when recipes come together by accident! I was sauteing some veggies for a frittata and made more than I needed. I put the leftovers in a big white bowl and suddenly imagined them in broth and noodles. Just a few minutes later, dinner was served.

Fruit & Feta Summer Salad
Here's an easy one for the dreadfully hot days we are having: add some refreshing fruit to your salad for a sweet twist. I say fruit instead of watermelon (as pictured) because you can easily swap the watermelon for sliced peaches, pineapple, berries, cherries, mangoes or a bit of each.

Creamy Banana Soup
I had this soup at Jacob's at the Hotel Kura Hulanda  during a trip to Curacao. I had to ask if by banana they meant what we call bananas or plantains. As it turns out, it was plantains. The server warned me against it because she finds it too sweet. This made me want to try it even more!

Fit Fish Tacos with Chipotle Crema
….and by crema, I mean Greek yogurt. These tacos are healthful, quick, easy and light! It's the perfect weeknight dinner, and fun to entertain with. 

Smashed Baby Yams
This is one of my favorite recipes to date! I've seen people make these with Yukon or small red potatoes. What I love about mine is how beautiful they are (look at those colors!), and the sweetness that the baby yams add. Plus, they are easy to make and beautiful to entertain with... but I still made these just for me.

Caprese Quinoa Salad
I forgot how much I love quinoa -- then I made this! This recipe is great as an entree or as a side dish. As an entree it serves two, as a side dish it can serve four. Remember, quinoa is the only grain that's a complete protein, meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids. It's also packed with fiber, and it's cheap!

Strawberry Cheesecake Muffins
Muffins don't have to be the calorie bombs that most bakeries make them out to be. Mine are 100% whole wheat and sweetened naturally with agave and real fruit. Dessert meets breakfast with my strawberry cheesecake muffins, and I'm not worried about it!

HummuSo Smart Green Salad
I love salads, I hate bottled salad dressings. All humbleness aside, I felt like a genius when I turned my hummus into a rich, creamy and delicious dressing for greens and veggies. And let's be real here... what healthy gal doesn't already have hummus in her fridge?

Caprese Omelet
I love, and I mean LOVE, a good Caprese salad. Soft, fresh mozzarella cheese, ripe tomatoes and bright basil - it's really a fave. So, I put it in my eggs, and the outcome was exceptionally good. Paired with greens tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette, I'd eat this any time of day.
