kale, white bean and quinoa soup - vegetarian and super delicious! http://cookinskinny.com/2012/11/kale-white-bean-quinoa-soup/

After going home for Thanksgiving I’m on a bit of a vegetarian cook. I guess it makes sense since many of my meals at home were made up of mostly veggies thanks to my dad. I’m not complaining. The past few weeks I’d been eating pretty poorly and my body needed a cleanse of sorts. Strange, usually ho...

turkey & fennel meat sauce { a healthy meat sauce with tons of flavor!} http://cookinskinny.com/2012/11/turkey-fennel-meat-sauce/

After traveling to Denver a few weeks ago to visit Rob’s family, I got home and was seriously craving Italian food. It’s one of my favorite foods, but I couldn’t tell you the last time I’d cooked it or gone out to eat it! Pasta, tortellini actually, was my favorite food as a kid, so I found this str...

YUM! vegetarian lasagna! http://cookinskinny.com/2012/10/mushroom-kale-zucchini-lasagna/

Lasagna has always been one of my favorites, but I really can’t stand when it’s just covered in cheese. I like to be able to taste each layer. The meat, the noodles, the sauce, and then yes, the cheese.

one of my all time favorite fall desserts - Apple Crostata! http://cookinskinny.com/2012/10/rustic-apple-crostata/

I’ll be honest, I’m really not much of a dessert person. Not that I don’t like them, I just don’t crave them like some people do.Occasionally I do get a hankering for something sweet and when I do, I crave a dessert with fruit in it.

Halibut & Edamame Salad with fish from Stormont Williams Fish Supply Co.! http://cookinskinny.com/2012/10/halibut-edamame-salad/

I got a big shipment of Alaskan fish fromStormont Williams Fish Supply Co.just a few weeks ago and I’ve been testing out new fish recipes since then! I’ll be honest, cooking fish is a bit scary for me. We didn’t grow up eating it and for a long time I never knew what to put on it besides salt and pe...

a quick pork chop & broccoli recipe from last week! http://cookinskinny.com/2012/10/rosemary-mustard-pork-chops/

It’s finally fall! As much as I love fall, it seems that living in Texas for the majority of my life (up until last February) has deprived me of a true fall. This year has been different. The trees are already turning golden and orange, the temperature has dropped and I’ve been cooking hearty (& hea...

my kitchen favorites! http://cookinskinny.com/2012/10/a-colorful-kitchen/

Besides cooking, collecting bright and fun kitchen gadgets is high on my list of hobbies. Anthropologie has some of the most unique pieces and I admit that I own probably too many. These are my favorite kitchen gadgets that I have in my own house (except for the mini fruit baskets, which I want!) an...
