delish & nutrish recipes

but first, a little chef chat

If you’re considering increasing your nutrition through food, reducing inflammation, or just a healthy, delish and nutrish recipe or two, you’ve come to the right place! Most of these recipes can be made in about 30 minutes, faster than it takes for delivery to show up, and less expensive!

  • “Don’t remember ingredients, remember techniques.” Is something a chef I worked for used to say. So be sure to carefully follow the Methods for each recipe. Anyone can read a list of ingredients. Assembling them properly is the key to great results!

  • If you want to substitute flavors, say you like basil better than oregano, or you’re out of thyme (pun intended), go for it!

  • Some of my favorite tools are a scale, portion scoops, and one or two sharp knives. Try these links for some of my favorite things.

  • I give you measurements for all of the recipes and occasionally drop in the weights for accuracy. (pounds or ounces).

  • Finally, please feel free to leave comments on each recipe you try, and be sure to share and tag me on social media! I answer each and every question, and I love your feedback!

Youvarlakia - greek chicken meatballs in avgolemono SAUCE

Simmering the meatballs in chicken bone broth really uplevels the nutritional value of this dish. One technique used a lot in Greek cooking is grating onions and other vegetables. It works exceptionally well in ground meat mixtures, like this meatball recipe. It’s worth the effort to have the savory flavors of the vegetables without the texture from dicing or mincing.
