One-dish chicken recipes are really the best of both worlds. A one-dish chicken recipe is a hearty, healthy, delicious, comforting, meal that can please a crowd. Plus, preparing a complete meal in one pot means it’s simple whip together, with quick and easy clean-up (hardly any dishes to wash!) What I love…
Good news and bad. Bad News: I completely failed in my mission to create a Healthy Cinnamon Bun that still tasted like an actual cinnamon bun. The problem is that an actual cinnamon bun really seems to be nothing without tons of butter and lots and lots of sugar. Let’s…
I have an interesting discovery to share today: Healthy broccoli cheddar soup still tastes as rich and comforting as the classic version. For this recipe, I took out all the flour, butter, and cream and thickened the soup with a cauliflower and onion purée. I loved it (no surprise), but (to my…

I know sweet potato casseroles – usually made with lots of butter and marshmallows – are a sugary, super sweet American classic, especially around Thanksgiving. But I’ve never really liked syrupy, sugar-covered casseroles, so I’ve never cooked my sweet potatoes this way. To me they taste like dessert, and I…
Meat-and-Potatoes-Guy and I get two Thanksgivings every year. We go to my family’s house for a Thanksgiving lunch in the afternoon. Then we make the 40-minute drive to Chris’s family’s house for a Thanksgiving dinner that evening. We both really enjoy roast turkey and mashed potatoes, so we feel very…
The day Chris and I picked up puppy Calvin (he was 8 weeks old and weighed in at a heartbreakingly miniature 4 pounds), we felt prepared. We’d had our yard completely fenced in. We’d bought the dog food, the crate, the chew toys. We thought we’d thought of everything. About one…
