Skewers SCREAM summer! They are clean, easy and tasty and best thing about a skewer is that you can use almost anything you want

3 ingredients – maximum flavor. Cauliflower is among my favorite veggies to roast. I’m practicing a bunch of keto recipes and I repeatedly see people swearing by “everything bagel” seasoning. It may seem lazy but it packs quite a punch. Adding this seasoning to ordinary cauliflower makes it special. Easy and special, prepping this…

The sun is setting later and the mornings are full of sunshine. My plants are thriving and spring is finally here. After a morning run or even for lunch I look forward to a light, flavorful reprise to keep me going. Smoothies are my most favorite way to sedate myself, I like them…

Fall is my favorite time of the year for many reasons. The weather is lovely for sleeping but also for picnicking and the hearty comfort foods start appearing. Lastly, autumn marks the beginning of the holiday season, which sets my mind and heart ablaze. Dedicating this post to a few of my favorite fall…

Unbelievable FLAVOR. Minimal effort. I am always looking for interesting ways to replace high-calorie sauces and to add spice naturally. I decided to give pickling a try. Ginger is always on hand, I had a bunch of carrots from my produce box I didn’t want to go to waste. Pickling has been on my…

I wanted pasta. Light pasta, but pasta just the same. A sauceless meal with fresh veggies seemed like a great compromise for midsummer meal prep. I keep cherry tomatoes on hand and I’m always growing a gaggle of basil plants. I just needed fresh mushrooms and of course angel hair pasta I created a…

Somehow, 2020 has become the summer of slaw for me. I have never been a fan of this drippy, seemingly pointless side. Coleslaw has always seemed like a BBQ afterthought, the side you skip over for the potato salad. The side that is always thrown out at the end of the day because no…

I wanted gooey, cheesy PASTA and with a little inspiration from my latest produce box, I decided to stuff some peppers instead! Baking stuffed things is an easy favorite of mine, but never before had I thought of quench a craving in this way. Fairly simple, I decided to replace the pasta shells…

Prepackaged yogurts get boring. Though they may be a little more convenient, most contain extra sugar or unnatural sweeteners. Creating your own healthy parfaits, made from your favorite layers is a great way to control sugar and calorie intake. This recipe uses strawberries, but you can use any sort of berry or citrus fruit…

Last year I subscribed to a produce delivery box service. Initially, I began researching a service for my parents, in an effort to force them to eat more fresh produce. I realize it’s not so easy for everyone – I can find cheaper fresh and organic produce here in NYC, if I actually search,…

Spring is here and strawberries are back in season! You can easily find deals like 2 pints for $5. I use them for everything, even though they tend to have a short shelf life, but you can freeze them for months! Later in the summer, I will try a strawberry cake but today I’m…

I’m EXCITED! I’ve done it again. This year I listened. I took some time to read through comments, reviews and surveyed a few loyal followers and I created a new masterpiece that I hope proves more useful than the first book. Like Simply Tabbtastic, Tabbalicious is full of simple Meal Prep recipes and tips…

Growing up the mention of okra was always followed by a prompt “EWWWWW!” from my sisters and I. My mom and grandma made something called okra pie (sounds even grosser) essentially, it was layered okra, white rice, can tomatoes and crisp bacon baked like a pie. I actually never really minded the okra slime, as…

Breakfast Blue-Berta banana smoothies Snack pomegranate seeds or sliced apples Lunch Red Quinoa & baked sweet potato Snack Banana or hard boiled egg Hydration Blackberry-lemon- basil Infused water

HAPPY NEW YEAR! The first post of the year is dedicated to old tradition. I have the same meal the first week of each year, the last few I have put my #mealprep spin on it. Black eyed peas, rice and greens. Southern tradition that dates back pre Civil War – The peas are…

Breakfast Strawberry-Kale smoothie Snack Cherries Lunch Tuna wrap & Avocado Snack Sugar snap peas Hydration Lemon Basil Infused water

Number 4 in my magical Mason jar installment. The latest just may be the greatest in this case. Recently … (I mean as recent as this month) I discovered I LOVE red quinoa, I’ve used regular quinoa in the past but as a nutritional filler, not because I loved the taste. But this red quinoa, kind…
