Ginger Chop Salad
Nothing like a new month reset with a delicious, nutritious, and relatively healthy-ish chop salad. I am always on the look out for salad recipes that are filling enough for a full meal and packed without goodies to actually crave it. This Ginger Chop Salad is one of those salads. It’s crunchy, salty, and filling.…

Garlic Lemon Caper Fish
To be honest, I have never loved seafood. Until recently. How this came about? I still don’t know but I LOVE white fish – cod, halibut, sole, you name it. I like it even better if it’s crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and drenched in lemon and garlic. This dish is just…

Simple Cucumber Green Bean Salad
Well, it’s happening folks. WFH is slowly being phased out and everyone loves to meet in person again! Which means… I do not have time to make elaborate meals. Well, I still do, but in moderation… And that means I have been rethinking how I can continue to eat healthy, delicious meals so I don’t…

Miso Eggplant
*REPOST FROM THE OLD BLOG* Okay, hear me out. Eggplant is amazing. Teenage me would never have guessed that I would actually crave eggplant as an adult. BUT it’s so versatile and can be transformed into literally any cuisine, food palate, taste, etc you desire. On rotation for “Meatless Mondaze” and oh-so addicting, this dish…

Cilantro Lime Chicken
Is it just me or does chicken taste better in strips? I think it’s just me but honestly, I could eat these like jerky. They are perfect for tacos, salads, harvest bowls, or simply by themselves. Super easy and packed with citrus flavors, this one is a no-brainer. Here, you’ll see I used the Cilantro…

Now I know I haven’t divulged Yoshii’s epic Caesar dressing yet on this updated blog site but I PROMISE I will soon. In the meantime, I’ll share my secret…

Cauliflower Rice Arancini Balls with Marinara Sauce
*REPOST FROM OLD BLOG One of the things I miss most about eating gluten is fried-anything. I don’t eat fried foods on a regular basis but my mouth salivates every time we go to a restaurant that offers fried goodies — mozzarella sticks, beer-battered appetizers, you name it. These Air Fried Italian Arancini Balls are…

Baked Crispy Ground Chicken Tacos
*REPOST FROM OLD BLOG Maybe it’s the California girl in me but I LOVE a good taco. Tacos are a gluten free person’s heaven. Yes, you have to forgo flour tortillas but with corn, you really aren’t missing out! And if you ask me to choose between soft or crispy, I really cannot pick a…

Spicy Sausage & Kale Hash
I don’t know about y’all but it’s been A WEEK. Maybe it’s because we are mentally anticipating summer break like we used to in grade school, but now are adults who don’t see more than 5 days off on the horizon… forever. Or maybe it’s because after completing a to-do, another one just happens to…

Summer Heirloom Tomato, Shrimp & Mozzarella Salad
Although we are in the thick of the worst “May Grey” month I’ve ever experience here in Santa Monica in the 8 years I have lived by the beach, I am desperate for summer. The food, the drinks, THE SUN. So as we head into Memorial Day weekend, I am sharing a happy accident that…
