I’m really excited for this one, guys! Have you ever had Lomo Saltado? You’re going to love it. But let’s keep it 100. You’re not going to make this on a weeknight after working 8 hours. If you do, you’ll be all up in my biz yelling at me “Why?! Dear God WHY?!?” and we don’t …

Spicy Power Turkey Sandwich With Avocado Spread
This is not an ordinary boring outdated turkey sandwich. No. It’s got charisma. Pizzazz. If this sandwich had hands, they would be wiggling finger jazz hands. I don’t know. Just go with it. It’s the perfect lunch if you’re on a sugar free diet or doing the Fed Up Challenge, which I was. I might …
Spicy Chicken Fried Rice
Let’s be dramatic. I’m so hungry, I’m going to pass out. I’m dying of starvation. If I don’t eat cake soon, I will die. These are things I’ve actually said or thought in the last 2 days. My sugar withdrawals have kicked into high gear and, although I know it will pass, I’ve gone mad. …

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps With Persimmons
And one. Two. Three. Breathe! That’s me pretending to get in shape so I can continue the facade of my New Year’s resolutions. No seriously – I’m doing this 30 day flat abs challenge from Blogilates.com. I’m trying to be realistic about it. Because flat abs? At this point I’d settle for “smaller mound” abs. It’s …
Spicy Ramen Noodles
These Spicy Ramen Noodles have shaken me out of my post holiday coma. It’s the one productive thing I’ve gotten done since we got an Apple TV. You guys, it’s life changing. But don’t go out and get one unless you don’t want to see the light of day ever again. Since the holidays, I’ve …
Savory Breakfast Muffins With Sausage, Cheddar & Green Onions
Chilly fall mornings. The smell of roasted coffee. Heated blankets. Fuzzy socks. The smell of savory breakfast muffins drifting up the stairs. This is the time of year when I always want something warm and comforting. I’m usually wearing my most comfortable pajamas as I lazily saunter around the house. Who says PJs have to match??? …

It was submitted by a reader of the magazine who’s husband loved …
Pork Stir-Fry With Honey, Lime, and Ginger
My town is in an Asian food crisis. We have a few Chinese restaurants, a couple of Thai restaurants, but I’m going to break it to you gently: they suck. I complained. I griped. I whined. I threw a temper tantrum where I hurled my body onto the floor and flung my arms and legs …
Tangerine Beef Stir Fry with Green Beans and Sweet Red Peppers
“Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson Growing up, I was always bored by science. Maybe I was bored because, instead of learning, I spent my time playing the Paper Fortune Teller game. Every time the teacher turned her back, I was whispering about which boys were …

Cilantro Lime Rice Infused With Garlic
We need to talk. Oh don’t you just love those 4 little words? Yes, you and I. We are going to sit down and have a little chat. If we want to build a strong foundation for our relationship (yep, things are going to get weirdly uncomfortable) we have to have trust. You: What’s this …
