Salmon Nicoise Salad with Dijon Caper Dressing tastes like a “treat yourself” meal, but it’s gluten free, sugar free, low-carb, paleo-friendly, and deceptively easy to prepare. I developed this recipe for Healy Eats Real, so click here to get the recipe!

My family has this thing with Eggs Benedict. I know I’m not writing about Eggs Benedict per say, but that is definitely the inspiration behind Eggs Florentine Breakfast Salad.

Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp with Piña Colada Dip is a healthy, tropical summer appetizer. Eat four or five of them paired with a side salad for a light meal. Air frying shaves off calories and fat, but you keeps the shrimp brown and crispy. And my version is gluten free.
There is nothing worse in my window unit Chicago apartment than turning on the oven in July. Except, perhaps, turning on the oven in August. The kitchen is the only room in my apartment without an AC unit and many a day you can find me foodblogging away over the oven or stove, droplets of sweat beading on my forehead and pooling right under my eyes.

Farmer’s Market Succotash is the absolute best way I’ve ever eaten veggies in my entire life. The recipe keeps it simple, so we really enjoy the seasonal, farm-to-table summer flavors.

Chile-Mint Mahi Mahi Burgers are your favorite burger substitute this summer! This healthy recipe is low in calories, high in protein, and absolutely killing it with flavor. Make them on the grill or on your stove top for Memorial Day, Labor Day, and all those hot, outdoor days in between.
