This is one of my go-to weeknight recipes. It is excellent whether you marinate it overnight or if you only have 30 minutes before popping it in the oven. You will see both variations detailed below. If you haven't been cooking bone in chicken breasts, you are missing out on the juicy-ist and tender-ist chicken breasts you've had (hard to believe from this sentence, but I am a stickler for grammar, but you have to live a little). It takes a bit longer (and cost a few dollars more) to cook these ...

Geoffrey’s Malibu Kale Salad Recipe
I am the QUEEN of being at a restaurant, tasting something tasty and saying, "hmmm I could totally make that at home." Here's my take on Geoffrey's Malibu's kale salad. It is savory, bright, delicious, healthy and oh so easy to make! I could eat this salad every day - it's so tasty. My bestie Tatiana took me out for a belated birthday dinner yesterday at Geoffrey's Malibu. So thoughtful - we had so much fun hiking in Malibu and then catching up over a leisurely dinner. We shared the kale ...
Slow Cooker Chipotle Pulled Pork Recipe
This recipe for slow cooker chipotle pulled pork is finger licking good (literally, it's pretty messy so you will likely lick your fingers if you don't have a napkin handy). My step-son Evan's favorite food is BBQ and last week he mentioned that he was craving a pulled pork sandwich. This is his last week in California this summer before he returns to New Jersey for his junior year in high school, so I thought I'd try out a slow cooker pulled pork recipe. It turned out pretty darn good. I used ...
Pan Seared Tuna Steaks
Looking for the perfect healthy quick weeknight meal to wow your family and friends? These pan seared tuna steaks taste like a fancy restaurant quality meal that you make at home. Once you try this recipe, you will want to add it to your dinner rotation once a month (if not more). I know from talking to friends that cooking fish at home can be intimidating - Where do I find it? How do I cook it? How do I not over cook it? I buy my tuna steaks for this recipe from Trader Joes - I find that ...
(Insanely Easy) Baked Salmon Recipe
I haven't always been a salmon lover. Salmon is my step-dad's favorite food - I mean if we go to a restaurant and there is salmon on the menu, 98% chance he'll order it. So growing up my mom made salmon, or another fish, a few nights a week. I was sick of it - I think I OD'd growing up. But, I grew to love salmon as an adult and now I have it a few meals a week (per usual, I am at all times becoming more and more like my mother). This is the easiest baked salmon recipe and it is insanely ...
Grilled Vegetable Platter
This grilled vegetable platter a perfect spring or summer dish - it is great for entertaining. I especially love this recipe because you can make it ahead of time and serve it room temperature. Perfect served alone as a side dish or with feta crumbled on top or a bowl of hummus on the side to dollop on top. Here, I doubled the recipe as a side dish for a pretty big party. I still had enough to make a frittata the next day and for a small dish of ratatouille the following day for ...
