- Easy Sheet Pan Shrimp FajitasMonday was probably one of the longest days of my life. Daycare was canceled due to weather which is absolutely ridiculous – the roads were fine. If I can be at Kohls at 8am with a 2-year-old and 13-week-old, THE ROADS ARE FINE. Speaking of, who go...

- Beet and Goat Cheese SaladI saw a patient last week (a pregnant woman with gestational diabetes) that was habitually waking up to eat around 4am. For the life of me, I couldn’t imagine getting up to eat in the middle of the night EVERY night…and then came this week. My in...
- Double Chocolate Donuts + Weekly MenuI’m going to try to complete a productive day at home…while staying in my pajamas all day. Yep, yep, yep. For the record, “at home” does involve plenty of outside time…sorry, neighbors! Sometimes we need those days, right? If yo...

- 20-Minute Seafood Pastaon Aug 2, 2016 in 500 calories or less Comfort Foods Everyday Meals fiber one-pot meal quick meals recipe UncategorizedWhen we lived in Italy, we ate a lot of seafood. It was…the best. The melon and prosciutto wasn’t too shabby, either. And the pizza was heavenly. Oh, and the gelato! And wine! Yep, it’s a good thing I don’t live in Italy with all of those del...
