Video and Post: JOYFOODLY’S Blueberry Bacon BBQ Sauce!

This blueberry bacon bbq sauce by JoyFoodly is SO easy and so delicious. It truly belongs on a pork chop. I got the recipe when I saw my friend Hollie Greene, founder of JoyFoodly, making it on a local news channel. I knew that I had to make it and I had to share her web site with everyone. Hollie founded JoyFoodly in order to help families introduce more seasonal fruits and veggies to her family. What I love about her site is that it is so clear and well explained, but I also love that it doesn't feel like [...]

Video and Post: Flourless Blueberry and Peach Crumble from Above

(original post) My friend, Karyn Duggan, who happens to be a nutritionist made a crumble at her dinner party that made me crumble to my knees? Sorry, can't help it. Seriously though, it was so good that I had seconds and thirds, which is why the photo she shows of the recipe on Pinterest, is of an empty bowl. The crumble happens to be gluten free, but in the way that corn tamales are gluten free... it was tasty and sinful. btw. This friend happens to be GORGEOUS, as is her daughter. They have bright and glowing skin and always [...]

Video – How to make Watermelon Salad and how to Slice a Watermelon!

I love to make this super easy and tasty watermelon salad. Not only does it impress the pants off of guests, but each time I make it, it surprises me just how good it is. It is such a beautiful version of watermelon salad to serve. There are a million, ok maybe 20, ways to make watermelon salad, but the lime juice and mint watermelon salad is the winner for me. Over the years I have tried many ways of slicing a watermelon, until through the osmosis of the food network and trial and error, I landed firmly on this [...]

Video – How to make my Chimichurri

My nickname was Chimichurri for about 5 years. Chimichurri is an Argentinian sauce made primarily of Parsley, Oregano, Olive Oil and Vinegar that is used primarily on grilled meats in Argentina. It is such a bright and flavorful sauce that it tends to disappear in seconds. I love to serve Chimichurri with skirt steak, flank steak, tri-tip or Italian sausages on a baguette, A.K.A Choripan. Chimichurri is the perfect and simple accompaniment to your Fourth of July barbeque or any occasion where you care enough about your guests to make it. It also tastes wonderful as a dipping sauce for [...]

Video – Massaged Rainbow Kale Salad and Why Cooking Matters

Rainbow Kale salad kinda fell into my life because of Cooking Matters, which also fell into my life. On August 18th, 2010, I received an email from a friend asking if I would be interested in volunteering to teach free cooking and nutrition classes and before I could hit SEND, I was saying YES.. even though I am not a chef and had never really taught classes before. Well, lucky for me, you don't have to be a chef or a nutritionist to teach Cooking Matters and four years later, I have 8 classes under my belt. Each series consists [...]
