This post was sponsored by Olive Oils from Spain.  All opinions expressed are my own. 

People are always asking me for healthy eating tips.  What’s one of the best ways to make sure that you’re eating the right types of foods?  Cook at home!  When you cook at home, there’s no mystery involved.  You are the one controlling the ingredients and the cooking methods.  Healthy eating is not about following a restrictive diet and denying yourself the foods you love. It’s about eating a well-balanced diet filled with a wide variety of delicious and nutritious whole foods and leading an active, fulfilling lifestyle.

One of the most basic changes you can make to your every day cooking routine that can significantly improve your health is to cook with olive oil.

Grilled avocados are the perfect vehicle for serving up a delicious corn and black bean salsa in this easy and nutritious vegetarian dish.  

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…

No it’s not my birthday, it’s the Recipe Redux’s 5^thbirthday!  While I haven’t been a member from the beginning, I’m so happy to be a part of this amazing group of healthy food bloggers.  I think that this month’s theme is one of the best we’ve ever had but it’s also one of the hardest!  We were asked to celebrate each other by choosing a fellow Reduxer and creating a dish inspired by one of their recipes.  The problem is, with so many amazing people in the group, this was such a tough decision! 

Ultimately, I decided to feature the one and only Jessica Fishman Levinson from Nutritioulicious.  Why Jessica?  Well, for a few reasons.  Although we’ve never met in person, I kind of feel like we’re kindred spirits in a way.  She’s a New Yorker, she’s a mom, and she’s passionate about delicious and nutritious food, like myself.  We also definitely have a recipe ESP thing going on and there have been plenty of times when we posted similar dishes at the same time.  We even know the same people- it turns out that I went to high school with her sister-in-law!  If I hadn’t moved to South Florida, I have a feeling that Jessica and I would be getting together for coffee or lunch all the time!

These aren’t your usual kebabs!  My Beef Kofta Kebabs with Tzatziki Sauce are bursting with flavor and protein.   

By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by The Beef Checkoff and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.


This is a dish that the whole family will love!  Kofta kebabs are common in many parts of the Mediterranean, Middle East and Persia. They’re made with ground meat instead of cubed meat and are packed with flavor.  Think ground beef mixed with fresh parsley, garlic and warm spices like coriander and cumin.  Yum!  Serve them with my creamy tzatziki sauce and some flat bread and you’ve got a delicious and easy meal that’s perfect for casual summer dining.

My Mojo Pork Tenderloin is packed with bright Cuban flavors.  Cook it in the oven or on the grill for the perfect summer meal.

If you’re looking for a nutritious summer recipe that the whole family will love, then this dish is for you!  My Mojo Pork Tenderloin is packed with classic Cuban ingredients. Fresh citrus juice is combined with garlic and spices to infuse the pork with bright flavor as well as a hefty dose of Vitamin C.   

Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of pork that’s a healthier alternative to higher fat cuts like bacon, sausage, pork belly or spareribs. It’s low in fat and rich in protein, B vitamins, and minerals like zinc and selenium.  Nutritionally, it’s similar in profile to chicken breast with even fewer calories per ounce.
