Next time you’re craving Mexican food but don’t want a gut bomb, make Mexican turkey and bean bowls. Dressed with quick pickled corn and onions, avocado, pico de gallo, and cotija cheese, this dish packs a flavor and texture punch. You won’t miss the melted cheese and sour cream – trust me. There’s even kale in it, so it’s super healthy!…
Lasagna Soup
As I write this post, it’s 91 degrees, an unseasonably warm day here in the Bay Area. So the last thing I want to think about, much less eat, is lasagna soup, a dish I made over the weekend.

My husband and I decided to make a second visit to Blue Line Pizza for some deep dish, so I’m off kitchen duty tonight.

The cookies, chocolates and assorted candies always go first, and then the nuts and crackers….
Sesame-Spiced Turkey Meatballs with Chickpea Salad
There are days when I want to spend hours in the kitchen, recreating complicated, multi-step recipes. And then there are days, like this past Sunday, when I don’t want to cook but feel obligated to put food on the table. (After a delicious dinner at Pizzeria Delfina the night before, it was definitely an eat-in kind of evening.)…
Savory Crepes With Fresh Herbs
I made crepes for the first time last month, thinking it would be a disaster. I had a sinking feeling they’d stick to my fry pan or otherwise tear apart as I tried to flip them with my bare hands.
