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!

Loukaniko Sausage

I’ve taken the labor out of this recipe, which traditionally requires forcing the meat mixture into casings, then smoking it. Yes it’s worth it if you want to take the extra steps, but this adapted version comes together quickly and gives you all of the flavors.

Oven Steamed & Grilled Ribs

This method creates a fragrant steam that infuses into the meat as they cook!

Egg Roll in a Bowl

This is simple and delicious, and it’s a bowl! And you won’t believe it isn’t Chinese takeout!

Slow-Cooker Ribs

When I tell you this no-recipe recipe is life changing, I’m not kidding. Some days, you just can't deal with the long process of roasting ribs in the oven, then saucing and grilling them to perfection. That’s always been my method for ribs. Until my genius husband decided, on a chill, lazy day, to try them in the slow cooker. You tell me if this isn’t amazing.

WonTonLess Meatballs

These are WonTon (less) because they taste just like the wonton filling, but they don't need wrapper to be delish and nutrish!

Chorizo Potato Soup

To make it Whole30 compliant, I'm using no-sugar added Chorizo. It's spicy and creamy and would satisfy a cold winter up north, but it’s delicious anytime.
