My friends! This is so simple, and so easy. No frills. No bells. No whistles. That is, of course, if you don’t consider a dreamy Caesar dressing something to write home about [and it totally is!!]. I, for one, absolutely love Caesar salads. Of course, it’s without question because of the salty, smooth, creamy dressing that gives…

Slow Cooker Moroccan-Spiced Sweet Potato and Kale Detox Soup
My friends, if you’re looking for something dull and boring, keep on movin’. Because this soup right here is anything but — it’s zesty, hearty, soul-warming, AND even good for you. Not to mention: easy, peasy! Does it get better than that? A satisfying guilt-free dinner? Nuh-uh. No way. So the sous chef totally has…
Asian Kale Salad with a Sriracha-Peanut Dressing
This is almost too pretty too eat. *just almost*. Because this salad is so delicious, and so satisfying! I clearly have an obsession with kale salads (exhibits A, B, C, for starters), and this one does not disappoint. In fact, I think this is my new favorite dinner [and obvs should be yours, too]. It’s literally…
Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
Oh. my. goodness. gracious. This recipe. It’s basically comfort heaven. Or chicken cacciatore heaven. I absolutely love chicken cacciatore, and this recipe is pretty much the exclamation point on that statement. First of all, it simmers for hours, creating this hearty, stew-like yumminess PACKED with melt-in-your-mouth chicken thighs, onions, peppers, mushrooms, herbs — just so, so…
Fall Harvest Kale Salad with a Honey-Apple Cider Vinaigrette
So can we just chat about this *perfect* fall salad? I know fall is supposed to be comfort food everything, and you’re probably rolling your eyes, asking yourself how there’s such thing as a perfect fall salad. Especially when everyone is pretty much focused on the perfect fall macaroni and cheese right about now [like, hi,…
Slow Cooker Lentil and Kale Soup
I make no secret of my obsession with soup. And I’m 97% convinced mother nature is doing her damnedest to test my fortitude for whipping up everything cozy this fall — which is completely fine with me — because I’m up for the challenge. Did I mention IT’S 80 DEGREES IN OCTOBER? So, step 1…
Steamed Kale and Summer Vegetable Salad with a Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette
Hello, fraaaands! I bring to you the most delicious salad ever that is sure to cool you off in this crazy heatwave. I don’t know about you, but it’s like 250 degrees [maybe minus 150, but we’re close here, we’re close, okay?] in Washington D.C. and we are in full-on SWAMP mode. Like, I’ve permanently hibernated…
Summer BLT Kale Salad with Garlic Croutons & Creamy Ranch
My friends, summer just got that. much. better. This salad is everything. And you’re totally going to have major FOMO if you don’t whip this baby up — so let’s not waste any time. Massaged kale salads have been a thing in our house recently, because they’re so good. And let’s be honest: the kale is basically a perfect…
Spaghetti Squash Aglio E Olio with Sausage and Kale
My friends, the struggle is real. My heart says pasta, and my diet says wine no. This is one of my favorite lightened up versions of aglio e olio to make. And in my opinion, it’s just. as. satisfying. Is it because there’s three pounds a [very generous] cup of cheese in it? Maybe. And…
Kale and Crispy Chickpea Salad with a Creamy Basil Dressing
WAITTTTT! Please don’t run away. I know this is scary [the salad doesn’t even have cheese]. And… it’s another salad. We’ve been on such a salad kick – similar to our soup habit this past winter that we haven’t seemed to kick just yet – but we’re going to get through this together, and I think…
