For the past few weeks, I’ve been blogging about recipes I created using Marzetti Simply Dressed all natural salad dressing. I was lucky enough to sample some of these fantastic dressings (made with ingredients I recognize!) and now have a go-to dressing to not only use, but also recommend to my clients. Now I want [...]

Last Saturday night, Funk and I had dinner plans. Knowing I’d be indulging a bit at dinner, I wanted to jam-pack my lunch with fruits and veggies. With a half of a bag of curly kale in the fridge that was about to go bad, I decided to make a massive massaged kale salad with [...]

Lately my Sunday evening routine, when it comes to making meals, involves my beloved rice cooker. In it, I can toss some veggies, spices, seasonings, and two hours later have a great grain dish waiting for us with leftovers for the next few days. It requires absolutely no stove or oven heat, which is key [...]

I started earlier in the day soaking the bulgur with equal parts bulgur and water. I really should incorporate bulgur into our repertoire more. It’s so insanely simple since you don’t even need to cook it! The bulgur soaks up all of the water in about an hour, and you’re ready to use it as [...]
