Have you missed me? I know it’s been a while, but I have a great reason. I started my own private practice and have been super busy building instead of blogging. I’ve felt bad and due to popular demand I made it a point to post some recent meals for you all! Due to a…

Thai Night: Red Curry Shrimp & Vegetables
Lets first start with the fact that I love Thai food. My favorite dish to order if eating out at an actual Thai restaurant is Tofu Pad Thai. I have yet to make my own, but that will soon come. It used to be drunken noodle with shrimp, but I had given up shrimp for…
Got Beef? Get Boca!
On evenings when I am dragging and not feeling like cooking, I turn to tacos or Boca Tostados. Because any night can be a Taco Night! The difference with the tacos in my house is that I only loaded them with beans or boca! I am a huge fan of Boca Veggie Ground Crumbles. Kraft Heinz…
Grilled Eggplant with Tomato, Basil & Feta
This was a light, refreshing meal. I think I enjoyed it even better because the 3 main ingredients eggplant, tomato, and basil were all purchased earlier at our visit to The Carytown Farmers Market. Check out my previous post, Shop, Eat, Live, … Local. , before reading this. I am a huge eggplant fan, but historically have only…
Caprese Quinoa Bake
This recipe was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, I can not take all the credit. I was trying to figure out what to cook for dinner but was unsure. I knew I had Quinoa and a bunch of tomatoes, but was stuck on what to do with it. Ofcourse, I went to America’s number one search engine,…
Easy Cod Fish Tikka Masala
This was a delicious dish that I was able to create in no time. I worked all day seeing clients back to back, then got off and attended my bike meeting for BreakawayRVA, and then joined in at a networking event until 9:00pm. Yes, I was tired. I was drained, but my family still needed…
Simple Sweet & Sour Tofu
As a working mother, I love simple and easy meals. I actually have a copy of a cookbook titled, A Man, A Can, A Plan, that was created for men with recipes that do not require tons of ingredients. The recipes within this book are quick, tasty, healthful meals based on canned and other convenience foods. When making…
Szechuan Salmon with Pepper Salsa
Tonight’s dinner was fish focused. Primarily we eat vegetarian dishes, but we still love our seafood. Pescatarianism is what we practice majority of the time. This is a diet that includes fish or other seafood, but not the flesh of other animals. Most pescatarians maintain a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. This would include us as well….
Asian Inspired Ladies Night
When my friends and I get together its typically a night filled with chitter chatter, giggles, wine, and food! Instead of going out to restaurants we enjoy creating more of a “themed night” in which we decide what are the foodies of choice and what it might be inspired by. This particular night we decided…
Baked Egg & Plantain Frittata
This morning I was at a stuck point on what to cook for breakfast. I had just came in from doing a 10 mile bike ride, took a shower, helped my kids brush their teeth, and at that point I was just ready to eat. We do not usually have meat on the menu so…
West African Peanut Soup with Cod Fish
For starters, this was sooo good. My hubby made it a long time ago and in trying to decide what to eat for dinner on this night I recalled this dish and went for it. This was my first time making this. My hubby nor myself is West African, however he is Haitian and we…
Skillet Apple Pie
This week I made dessert two nights in a row! Let’s just say that is not my normal routine following dinner. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy a nice dessert when maybe at a restaurant for a special occasion, but I do not normally make or in this case bake desserts at home. My hubby…
