Miser Wot {with Baked Eggs}
Shelby and I recently explored Ethiopia. More precisely we explored her kitchen. We set out on a Sunday adventure that delivered us to Desta Ethiopian Kitchen, a highly favored restaurant here in Atlanta. We sampled many, many dishes and decided our favorite of all was the red lentil stew or Miser Wot.

Baked Potato {with Garlic Roasted Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese}
Baked Potato {with Garlic Roasted Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese}. While your Perfectly Baked Potato is cooking, why not roast some broccoli along side! Garlic Roasted Broccoli is a favorite side dish and so easy to make. Cut your head of broccoli into florets, lay them on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Add 3-4 cloves of minced garlic and a good drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Seal the foil making a packet.

No-Bake Baklava Energy Bites
I was introduced to energy bites recently and fell in love. The idea of raw whole ingredients being combined into delicious pop-in-your-mouth treats is well just down right exciting. There is certainly a growing movement towards stepping away from processed foods and incorporating whole foods into our diets. Snack foods is a great place to start.

Mushroom & Kale Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
Mushroom & Kale Quinoa Breakfast Bowl. It was 52 degrees in our bedroom this morning. Somehow opening a window ever so slightly seemed like a fine idea at bedtime. Brrrr. So while I lay snuggled deeply into my bed I did a mental inventory of the ingredients in my fridge and pantry. If there was one thing that would get me out from under the covers, it was breakfast.

Quinoa & Raw Veggie Salad
One of my ‘healthy eating’ work buddies brought in the most delicious salad to share. One bite in, just one….and I was recreating this salad in my mind to share with you. We decided to call it Quinoa & Raw Veggie Salad.

Pecan-Crusted Trout
The trout was so fresh and beautiful at the seafood counter today that I couldn’t resist, even without a plan for how to prepare it. Pan sautéed trout is what first came to mind. I have a weakness for this wonderfully mild fish, especially when it’s sautéed in butter. To kick it up I decided on Pecan-Crusted Trout, which fit right in with our low-carb eating.

Southwest Baked Potato {with Cottage Cheese}
A ‘Loaded’ Baked Potato doesn’t have to mean loaded in fat and unwanted calories. Our Southwest Baked Potato {with Cottage Cheese} is flavor packed and naturally low-fat. This my friends is a weekday lunch that will not only carry you through the 3 o’clock pitfall hour, but one that will carry you out of the office at 5 o’clock feeling great.

Low-Country Boil Skewers
I adore Low-Country Boils. Having said that I can count on one hand how many times I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying them. When I have, it has been at a neighborhood gathering or a backyard get together where there was a crowd to feed. Today I came up with a fun way to prepare it for two (or for twenty-two).
