Earlier this week when I was in New York visiting family and friends, my mom prepared the most delicious salmon.
It consisted of only 3 ingredients and she baked it in the toaster oven which took way faster than using a regular-sized oven.
Because of its smaller size, the toaster oven cooks the salmon much faster which means that dinner is on the table in just minutes!

Read MoreThe other night after dinner, I was craving something sweet. Since I don't keep any pre-made sweets at home, I have to make dessert if I want dessert! So with only 4 ingredients, I came up with something simple that I'm going to share with you today.
The portion size is teeny tiny, but just enough to satisfy your taste buds.
What's awesome is that this dessert is high in fat and protein (so it'll fill you up) and it's cleanse-friendly (so you won't feel bloated or experience a sugar hangover afterward).
Read MoreSince I've had hard-boiled eggs on my mind, today I'm going show you how I cook them so you can make them too!
Why? Because they're a super easy, make-ahead snack and a convenient way to add protein to any meal. Plus they're relatively inexpensive.
There are a bunch of different techniques out there, but this is the one I like the best.
Read MoreIf you’ve been following me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I've posted some pictures of my weekly Veggie Egg Bake (which I make every Sunday night to enjoy Monday thru Friday).
A lot of these kinds of egg recipes I see floating around the internet are super skimpy when it comes to veggies...we're talkin' 75% eggs, 25% veggies. We can do better than that!
Read MoreI love salads but sometimes I'm just not in the mood for lettuce, spinach or other leafy greens. I threw together this concoction and it came out so good that I ended up eating it two more times that same week!
The healthy fat from the avocado filled me up, the nutrients from the raw veggies gave me a ton of energy, and the combination of the different flavors and textures totally satisfied my taste buds. Plus, it's 100% cleanse-friendly so you won't feel gross or bloated afterward!
Read MoreWhen I find something I like, I will keep eating it until I get sick of it. For instance, I've been making my Sweet Potato Butternut Squash Soup every single week for about the last 3 months. It's so ridiculously good! Some days I'd drink it like soup and other days, I'd mix it with veggies as if it were a sauce.
Last week, I decided to branch out and see what would happen if I used the same recipe but swapped out the sweet potato with a regular potato and replace the butternut squash with a head of cauliflower.
Read MoreI love this recipe because all you need is 3 veggies (1 onion, 1 sweet potato, 1 butternut squash) and the rest are ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. This soup is thick and creamy, perfect for a cold winter day. Makes a delicious meal or side dish. Another idea (which might sound a bit crazy, but bear with me) is to pour this soup over cooked rice (like a sauce) and mix it all together. It'll turn it into a comforting dish reminiscent of risotto!
Read MoreIf you don't want to spend a lot of time prepping your food in the mornings or if you're looking for an easy way to eat more vegetables, this recipe is for you! These veggie egg muffins are super awesome because you can pretty much use any veggies you have lying around your kitchen. Just chop them nice and small or shred them.
Make a batch on Sunday and enjoy throughout the week. They last at least 3-5 days.
Read MoreGotta love desserts that are healthy enough to eat at any time of day! These delicious cookies don't require refrigeration either, so consider taking them to work with you or packing them in your carry-on if you're looking for a convenient snack while traveling. (Btw, they are waaay healthier than most of the bars on the store shelves!)
Enjoy!
