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!

Cinnamon Swirl Mini Loaves
I still love to bake. And despite my paleo lifestyle and commitment to live with less sugar, I still love something fresh from the oven. So comforting! Relaxing with a warm beverage and a pastry is one of my favorite weekend things to do.
Dolmathes : Greek Stuffed Grape Leaves
Classic Greek recipe that I recall my mom and Yiayia (grandmother) making on the regular! Some dolmathes are filled with rice and herbs only, and some have meat and rice. I’ve replaced the rice with cassava orzo. I also remember eating these as an entree, served with a ladle of avgolemono sauce, the thicker cousin to the classic egg-lemon soup.
Cold-Press Picnic Sandwich
Perfectly packable, or serve at your next gathering as an entree or appetizer. Also great for tailgating or a sports gathering.
Taramosalata (Fish Roe Spread)
Serve this spread with a sip of some ouzo if you’re so inclined, and transport yourself to one of the Greek islands!
S’More Bars
I made a few modifications to the original recipe and love the results! Dairy and gluten/grain free with dark chocolate and marshmallow sweetened with maple syrup.
Chicken Kapama
This “speedy” rendition of a “cooked-all-day” traditional recipe turns boring boneless, skinless chicken breasts into tender, juicy meat in a stick-to-your-ribs meal that is delicious year round, but a total bowl of comfort food in about 20 to 30 minutes.
Yogurt Marinated Chicken Kabobs
The arugula pesto is bright and peppery, with lemon and garlic to balance it out. Just put a small bowl with a spoon for everyone to pass around and drizzle over the grilled chicken. It’s delish, and another sneaky way to squeeze a green veggie onto the table.
Lemon Chicken with Capers and Caper Leaves
Yes it is similar to piccata, but capers are native to Greece and grown almost everywhere, it’s the caper leaves that make this unique.
Lemon Olive Oil Cake
This is the perfect spring dessert, and it’s a sweet surprise using savory ingredients in a dessert, too.
Chicken with Blistered Tomatoes and Onions
I love the bold flavors of the roasted onions and peppers. complimented by the balsamic vinegar.
Chicken with Blood Orange, Cucumber and Pistachios
Refreshingly light but hearty and satisfying as well.
Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates
Excellent grain and dairy free appetizer for the holidays - or any day!
Creamy Cashew Caesar Salad
You’ll want to make a double batch of this creamy cashew-based Caesar dressing, completely dairy free
Shrimp Mikrolimano (Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta)
This recipe hails from the Greek sea ports where shrimp is in abundance.
Chocolate Soufflé
I love to crack the top open and finish it with something luscious, like this coconut salted caramel sauce.
