Greek Quinoa Salad



With a strong taste for feta, I concocted this awesome Greek Quinoa Salad that is perfect as a healthy snack or side. Pair it with a grilled chicken breast and call it spa day.

Chile Shrimp

Chile Shrimp with Butter Beans and Lemony Couscous

There's nothing I love more than a restaurant-worthy meal that is healthy, easy to make, and can be made in ten minutes flat.  My Mother-in-Law recently introduced me to Chile Shrimp with Butter Beans and Lemony Couscous and it is fantastic as a light appetizer or entree.  It has the perfect amount of spice that's balanced by a lemony couscous topped with meaty butter beans and capers.  I recently served it with a kale caesar salad and a brussel sprout, pancetta, and parmesan flatbread (which I will feature soon).

Peer Pressure

Looking for a showstopper? Check out Crack Pie, the cult classic dessert crafted by James Beard-rising star chef David Chang from his famous bakery Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC. (Wow, that was a mouthful).

Now, obviously you should steer clear of anything called crack, but I swear this is actually the good kind. It's the sort of pie that makes you hate yourself for realizing how little self control you have when it comes to something so dangerously addictive.  Try it, everyone's doing it. I mean I have been for the past four nights and I'm fine. (Leftovers are killer).


I think it's my favorite pie of all time.
