Coming up with creative, seasonal, Nutritioulicious recipes most days of the week can be challenging. For inspiration, I often look at published recipes from cookbooks or some of my favorite online sources (like Everyday Food and Cooking Light). It’s a rare occasion that I follow a recipe to a T – there always seems to be something in the recipe…
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Kudos and thanks to my husband for making me a delicious Mother’s Day brunch. He loves to cook, but rarely gets to do so these days, so he was excited to get into the kitchen and cook up some yummy breakfast treats including baked bread pudding French toast and a sun-dried tomato asparagus quiche….

Updated April 6, 2015 As promised, here are some of my recipes that can be made all year round, but are also acceptable on Passover. Some have minor modifications that take into account those foods you cannot eat on Passover. Roasted Chicken with Fennel, Carrots, and Dried Plums Roasted Chicken with Artichokes, Peppers, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes Chicken Mexicano with Nectarine…

There are millions of recipes available, some of which are very similar to others – I mean, there’s only so many ways…
It’s the last week of February, can you believe it? I am so ready for spring – slightly warmer temperatures, blooming flowers, and of course some new produce to add to the repertoire. I have to admit, I’m getting a little tired of the limited winter fruit and vegetables and finding it hard to come up with new and exciting…
