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!
I’ve always liked salmon a lot, but currently: for real obsession status.
And I don’t think I’m exaggerating here.

Eggs Florentine Breakfast Salad with Easy Hollandaise Dressing is indulgent — I mean, look at that runny egg! But my recipe is sugar free and gluten free and my blender hollandaise is lightened up with a secret ingredient!

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.

Cook once, eat twice. That’s my new motto friends. Or – how’s this one – “Cook once, for like 15ish minutes, and eat four times.” Like that one even better? I know I do!

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.
I’m not lying when I say this: I don’t think I’ve ever seen something disappear from my fridge faster than Farmer’s Market Succotash. It’s just a pot of vegetables. But really, really well-prepared, simply made, fresh, seasonal, farm-to-table vegetables.

The Every Kitchen’s Food Stories series continues with fellow dietitian and flexitarian, Katie Pfeffer. Katie’s is a story I think many of us can relate to. She grew up as sous chef in her childhood home, creating meat-based meals with her mother. As she got older, both her palate and her knowledge widened and Katie is now the head chef of her flexitarian home kitchen. If you’re not sure what “flexitarian” means, read her food story to find out!
