Grilled Pork Tenderloin in the most amazing garlic and ginger marinade will be your new favorite grilled meal. Serve it with some Grilled Broccoli or Grilled Red Potatoes  for a meal that everyone will love. Asian foods are one of my favorites (right in line behind Mexican...and Italian...okay maybe it's hard to choose a favorite sometimes). Especially when grilling season comes upon us once again and I get to take my meals outside. Sure, cooking inside is great (and who doesn't love a house full of yummy cooking smells?), but when you get to go outside, that means there's been a welcome change of seasons and with that comes a whole new cooking mindset. You know what I mean, right? You get to take the mess outside, get to make your neighbors jealous with the smells coming off your grill, you get to take a glass of wine with you as you grill, and so on. I don't know about you, but a little white wine just helps me be a better grill master. It is with all the spring

Quick and easy Brown Sugar Chicken that's ready in under 10 minutes and is a meal that the entire family will absolutely devour. I promise. Serve it with some Crispy Baked Broccoli or Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes . Today it rained. Again. I promise I will stop talking about the rain soon — as soon as the rain stops, anyway. Which will be soon, right? I feel like it could be on its way out, especially since yesterday the sun came out mid-afternoon and it was gorgeous. So I'll take that as a sign that the sun really wants to be out more often. Fingers crossed. But when it is raining, I'm all about drinking hot cocoa and curling up with a good book from my new favorite genre: books about cooks or cooking. Not to be confused with cookbooks, but these are books about food and chefs and cooking. There are plenty of amazing books in this genre that span both fiction and non-fiction and I can definitely recommend many ( Blood, Bones & Butter , In Defense of Food , Hoosh ,

This meatless tortilla soup is packed with black beans, hominy, corn, and a spicy tomato based broth for an amazing meal. Soup lovers will also love this taco soup and chicken tortilla soup . Did you know that it's good for not only you but the planet to incorporate more vegetarian meals into your diet? It's true. There are tons of health benefits to cutting meat out of your meals (it's good for your heart, and decreases your risk of diabetes) and also eating more plant foods can cut down on greenhouse gases created from livestock and the packing plants that process the meat. I'm not saying you should go vegetarian or vegan right now (though it's okay if you do) but it's good to try a mix of meal plans and having a meatless Monday (or any day of the week) can significantly impact your health and the health of the planet. That being said, I am always on the lookout for vegetarian meals that taste good and don't make you feel like you're missing out

Spicy Tuna Salad is a staple in our house for lunches. We use it for everything from quick sandwiches to sushi bowls to salads. It has all the same components as a sushi style spicy tuna but is made with affordable canned tuna instead. Our other favorite tuna recipes include this  Tuna Egg Salad and Avocado Tuna Salad .  A few weeks ago I had a major craving for sushi but with no car in sight, I was forced to improvise and this spicy tuna salad was born. And no joke, we have been eating it almost every day since then. It just might be my new favorite way to eat canned tuna.  Like any good spicy tuna, the sauce for this salad starts with two very important ingredients - spicy Sriracha and creamy mayonnaise to counter all that spice. To keep things light and healthy, I used a combination of light mayo and Greek yogurt and it worked perfectly. Then to kick up the flavors even more, I added some rice vinegar, soy sauce, and scallions.  Trust me, if you like tuna and like spice, you wan

Chicken Burgers made with Caesar dressing will be your new favorites! These healthy burgers are made with lean ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, and a touch of Caeser dressing and come out moist and delicious every time. Serve them with some Baked Potato Chips or Crispy Turnip Fries . Do you get tired of eating the same old, same old when it comes to burgers? Sure, it's easy enough to change them up by changing the toppings, which is what I feel like most people do. And, while that's all well and good, and certainly leaves you with plenty of options as far as taste is concerned, have you ever thought about the burger itself? While it's super easy to patty up some ground meat and throw it on the grill, it's almost just as easy to add flavor right into the meat right before you make patties. Seriously, once I took my flavors from outside the burger to inside the burger, well, it was life changing. That opened up a whole new world of burgers to me. I c

I have dinner covered! One Pot Creamy Parmesan Broccoli Pasta — it's so good and so easy. Plus my whole family loves it and happily gobbles up all the broccoli. We also love this One Pot Chicken and Broccoli Pasta and One Pot Creamy Mushroom Pasta . One pot pasta dishes are all the rage and for good reason: Dinner is easy to get on the table and there's only one dirty pot. Talk about a no-brainer. Add to that awesomeness a dish that is made with lots of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and broccoli. While there are a lot of ways to make this dish to suit your own tastes, I've found that this one is a winner in my house. The secret to making this one-pot pasta dish so creamy is using milk and vegetable broth as the cooking liquid. They combine with the natural starches in the pasta to create a perfect, creamy sauce that's packed with flavor. I like to add lots of black pepper and usually some fresh herbs, such as basil, thyme, or rosemary to the final product. There you have
