Enchilada Stuffed Peppers with Chile Verde Sauce
I just spent the last hour chatting it up with Diane Sanfilippo, author of Practical Paleo, for the recording of this week’s Balanced Bites podcast. Her usual co-host Liz was unavailable so I was asked to fill in! How could you say no to an hour of girl-talk where everything from bowels to babies … Read more
Blackened Salmon with Mango-Avocado Salsa
We tend to have a lot of people in and out of our house and I regularly serve an extra 3-4 mouths outside of my family for dinner, so I love to grab a large piece of wild salmon to throw on the grill when I am in need of something quick. I think … Read more
Santa Maria Tri-Tip
The weather is seriously warming up around here (90 degrees today!), so we have officially dusted off the grill and our patio furniture and are spending as much time as possible soaking up the vitamin D. I know, you who are on the East Coast and Midwest are rolling your eyes or shaking your … Read more
Asian Glazed Salmon with Roasted Broccolini and Asparagus
I wish you would have had a window into my kitchen over the last few months. I was preparing and photographing 4 to 5 recipes a day which manifested into a tornado of food and photography props around my kitchen and living room.

Corned Beef and Cabbage with Parsnip Turnip Purée
My apologies for getting this up after Saint Patrick’s Day! As I mentioned on Facebook, we took a last minute trip down to Los Angeles to see family and friends and attend a conference. I know it doesn’t bring as much excitement when it’s not presented with leprechauns, shamrocks, and green cookies; but this … Read more
Corned Beef Brisket: Brine (Nitrate-Free)
Update from US Wellness Meats: “All the xylitol has been removed from the corned beef brisket and flatiron. The natural spices are clove, cinnamon, and allspice.” I had originally planned on using a pre-brined brisket for this recipe so my timing would have been precise and allowed enough time for you to purchase your … Read more
Guest Post: Seared Scallops with Sautéed Kale
