By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by National Honey Board and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest.

I finally got to one of the local farmers markets this weekend! It’s one of my favorite activities – I love seeing, smelling, and tasting (when there are samples) the local, farm-fresh produce and baked goods. It’s also a great way to learn what’s growing and in season near you. I found some beautiful spearmint, kale, arugula, red lettuce, radishes,…
Coming up with creative, seasonal, Nutritioulicious recipes most days of the week can be challenging.

Eggs are poached in a spice-infused tomato sauce for a filling and easy weeknight dinner that’s commonly served for breakfast in Israel. Shakshuka! Isn’t that such a fun word to say?! If you’re not sure, here’s how it’s pronounced: shahk-SHOO-kah. You’re probably wondering what in the world this word is and what does it mean. Shakshuka is a very popular…
For someone who wasn’t the biggest egg lover, I’ve certainly been making a lot of egg recipes lately. For some reason, since the birth or my girls 16 months ago, I have a newfound liking of eggs – but only in certain forms. One of said forms is the frittata. I have been experimenting with various types of frittatas, including…
Asparagus, fava beans, and mint are tossed together in a light, lemony ricotta sauce for a spring pasta dish that’s worth working for! Fava beans are a great spring vegetable that you’ll see on restaurant menus this time of year, but many people don’t even consider making them at home and until now I was one of them. But then I…
