When we think of pumpkins, we primarily think of Fall decorations, but pumpkins are actually a nutrient-dense fruit. They are part of the Winter squash family. In the Fall, we do see – all things – pumpkin flavored in the coffee shops, cafes, and grocery stores. But pumpkins on their own are delicious and very nutritious!

No matter what season it is, tacos are always on the menu! What I love most about tacos is they are so easy to make, take limited time to create, and there are so many different variations of tacos that you can create. This summer pesto shrimp tacos have been a favorite of mine!

When people think about cooking and/or making a healthy meal they have a false belief system believing that cooking a healthy nutritious meal takes an hour+ in the kitchen along with clean up. This entire blog debunks that belief system. Here is one of my favorite sheet pan recipes!

I made this for the first time a few weeks ago and I honestly cannot get enough. I crave this weekly! It is now a staple recipe in my weekly menu.

But, this salmon is made in a fry pan, and holy cow it is delicious!

It has been a few months since I’ve been able to upload a new recipe to my blog simply because life has been very busy! The truth is, I do not have time to cook like I used to. I am a big creature of habit so I tend to make the same meals weekly just to make my life easy during busy times. However, I needed to switch it up this week because there’s only so much broccoli and asparagus I can eat until I can’t anymore. If you’re looking for a simple yet flavorful new side dish — here it is!
