Are you a breakfast lover?  Because if so I think we’re going to be great friends.  I am always looking for new and inventive ways …

I love macaroni and cheese.  I recently celebrated my 34th birthday (no shame in my age game) and my husband took me to a restaurant …

oups are easily one of my favorite meals. I make Minestrone style soups all the time. My White Bean and Kale Detox Soup is a good example. I am feeling a little indulgent these days with all of the colder weather, so I decided to replace the beans or pasta I would normally use, with tortellini. I’ve seen many versions of soup with tortellini. I think there is no better fit than minestrone for a good cheese tortellini. I call this Healthy Italian Minestrone with Tortellini because other than the tortellini, it’s a really light soup.

When the cooler temps hit, it’s time for the root veggies of fall. Those root veggies include one of my favorites, butternut squash. It’s sweet, buttery, and it just exudes autumn. This Kale and Roasted Butternut Squash Salad is perfect for a light lunch or as a side on the Thanksgiving table. One of the most important things to do when you’re eating healthfully is to eat in season. It’s not only cheaper, but tastier.

Feel free to get creative with this salad as a base. You could use this same preparation and instead of butternut squash, you could use acorn squash, apples, or sweet potatoes. The hearty kale can take the dressing and the heat from the roasted vegetables without becoming wilted. That’s the beauty of kale. It stands up to being dressed before the party, and even the leftovers are delish right out of the fridge.

Fall means pumpkins, apples, sweaters, boots, fallen leaves and CHILI.  I love chili.  There are so many variations.  I put everything from sweet potatoes, to …
