This spring vegetable frittata is a stunning, one-skillet meal loaded with spring's finest greens, creamy goat cheese, and fresh herbs. And yes, this can be enjoyed as breakfast-for-dinner. Frittata recipes are my favorite for an easy, impressive meal! This healthy, veggie-heavy version puts spring greens front and center (hello leeks and asparagus), and has a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top. Frittatas are a great way to use up in-season produce and they're as easy as cooking up the veggies, pouring in beaten eggs, and baking until perfectly fluffy. Frittata recipes are delicious, healthy meals that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even dinner! https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

Chicken salad is a classic salad recipe with diced chicken, creamy mayonnaise, crisp celery, green onion, sweet grapes, and fresh herbs. But there's a little something extra in my version that makes it the ultimate chicken salad - tarragon! This recipe is easy, healthy, bright, flavorful, and will make any summer meal a breeze. Give it a try! https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

Niçoise salad is a traditional French salad from the city of Nice that's perfect for your next summer dinner party. It starts with a large platter of leafy greens and gets topped with boiled eggs, flaked tuna, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and a drizzle of lemon vinaigrette. After ordering plenty of Niçoise salads (Salade Niçoise in French) while traveling through France, I like to think of this as a fresher, French Riviera version of America's beloved cobb salad. But instead of bacon, avocado, and cheese, you'll swap in ingredients that highlight the Mediterranean coast. Think light seafood, briny olives, crisp cucumbers, and green beans — a palette that touches everything I love about healthy and fresh Mediterranean food. https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

Beef shish kabobs are the ultimate summer grilling recipe. Juicy and tender sirloin steak is soaked in the best beef marinade, then threaded on skewers with onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms before being tossed on a hot grill for a quick 15 minutes until perfectly browned. Hello, summer cookouts and dinner parties! I've been fortunate enough to have traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and have eaten numerous versions of shish kabobs (also spelled shish kebab). And if you go beyond the Middle East, different cultures have their own twist on it with a variety of marinades, veggies, and meats such as lamb, pork, or chicken. But today I'm highlighting a classic beef shish kabob recipe threaded with chunky steak bites and colorful sliced vegetables. https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

Chicken piccata is an Italian-American favorite and one of the easiest weeknight dinner recipes to make at home. Thinly sliced juicy chicken breasts ("scallopine") are dredged in flour, seared with a golden crust, then simmered in a lemon butter sauce with a touch of capers and parsley. It's a beautiful and tasty dinner that comes together quickly! In other words, chicken piccata is the perfect fusion of Italian cooking in America. Traditionally, piccata is an Italian dish consisting of thinly breaded veal (or other proteins) with a lemon butter wine sauce. But today we're using chicken, and I'd say we've perfected this dish that's dotted with garlic, capers, and fresh parsley. The more herbs and garlic, the better, right? https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

These make-ahead, meal prep summer salad recipes are super easy and healthy! You guys know I'm a big fan of meal prep and while sometimes I do individual ingredient meal prep (check out my whole series of videos), other times I prefer to do a "make-ahead recipe" that's one big batch and enjoy it throughout the week. Especially during the summer months when I want to spend less time in the kitchen! These meal prep ideas for summer salads are light and fresh, and there's a flavor combination for everyone to enjoy - from Cucumber Shrimp Salad to Mango Curry Chicken Salad and Mediterranean Chickpea Salad. Hope you enjoy! https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

German potato salad is a no-mayo, vinegar-based potato salad that's traditionally served warm. Baby red potatoes are gently tossed with a tangy, and savory bacon Dijon dressing that's seriously amazing. It's perfect for potlucks, parties, barbecues, and of course, Oktoberfest! Whenever I want to switch up my classic potato salad routine— this authentic German potato salad with a tangy sweet dressing is a wonderful alternative. It's perfect for when you'd like a vinegar-based, no-mayo potato salad, but with extra oomph. And that's all thanks to the deliciously warm bacon vinaigrette, similar to the bacon Dijon dressing in my favorite sautéed carrots recipe. I first enjoyed German potato salad (many times over) when I lived in Heidelberg, Germany in college, and I've been a fan ever since. Traditionally, this "meat and potatoes" recipe combines baby red potatoes with ham or speck (German bacon) and it's served warm. But I think it's equally tasty served cold for potlucks and summer cookouts! https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

This traditional Greek salad recipe (horiatiki salata) is super easy and healthy. Made from only 6 ingredients, it's one of the best healthy salad recipes! Greek salad highlights the beauty of the Mediterranean diet, where a few simple, fresh ingredients in their most natural form turn into a dazzling salad. Pair it with my homemade Greek salad dressing and you’re good to go! What I love most about this Greek salad recipe is that it’s veggie-packed and contains no leafy greens. That means all of the ingredients can be prepped ahead of time (as I showed in my summer meal prep), then tossed together when you’re ready to serve. So needless to say, it’s the perfect summer salad recipe that’s always on repeat. Plus, I give a few ideas in the video on how to add protein for a heartier meal! https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

This Ceviche recipe is a light and fresh appetizer (or main meal) that's vibrant, tangy, and perfectly scoopable with tortilla chips. Learn how to make ceviche! This ceviche de pescado (fish ceviche) is my go-to ceviche recipe for summertime parties and fiestas. It also highlights what I love about Mexican coastal food, where a handful of fresh, healthy ingredients turn into one amazingly flavorful meal. I'm using white fish today, though shrimp can also be used. I've eaten endless amounts of ceviche across Mexico, so I'm excited to share my take on this classic ceviche. It's naturally simple yet touches on all the fresh flavors of Mexico. Side note - I need to visit Peru to make a classic Peruvian ceviche next! https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

Elote (Mexican street corn) is by far one of my favorite Mexican side dishes! Juicy, charred corn on the cob gets slathered with a limey mayo spread, then it's topped with cotija cheese, chili powder, and fresh cilantro. Yum!! I love classic grilled corn on the cob, but elote is next level. It's got so much flavor with just a few simple ingredients and is such a joy to eat on a sunny day — especially when you're in Mexico! But if you're not in Mexico, you can easily make elote at home at your next outdoor fiesta, barbecue, or Cinco de Mayo party. Just toss some corn cobs on the grill, whip up the creamy mayo sauce, and then add a few toppings. Your crowd will go head over heels for it! https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

This Mediterranean cod en papillote is the most genius way to quickly achieve a simple, healthy, and super delicious dinner! Let's just say I'm convinced that "en papillote" (or "in paper") has become one of my favorite ways to do weeknight dinners. It's a French cooking technique where a combination of fish and veggies are folded into a parchment paper pouch, then perfectly steamed in the oven. This Mediterranean recipe hits the spot with simple and fresh coastal flavors while ensuring you have four all-in-one meals done at the same time. Love it! https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

This berry baked oatmeal is another delicious way to enjoy oats for breakfast! The top is slightly golden while the inside is soft and loaded with a pretty sweet berry assortment. Just when I thought overnight oats or the classic stovetop oatmeal were my favorites, this baked oatmeal proves its worth for breakfast. It's easily sliceable into 6 portions and can be jazzed up with a quick dollop of creamy yogurt. I'd say this healthy baked oatmeal recipe is another perennial winner for breakfast meal prep. https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes

This salmon salad has it all - flaky baked salmon, crisp celery, red onion, radishes, and fresh herbs, tossed in a creamy lemony dressing. Oh yes, this is how you give salmon a fresh new lift. I'm a huge proponent of turning simple proteins into creamy summer salads. They're deliciously filling, yet still light and fresh. At this point, I've made shrimp salad, chicken salad, tuna salad (even broccoli tuna salad)...you get the gist. So it only made sense that next on my list was a salad that leveraged one of my favorite ingredients - baked salmon! This healthy salad makes for the perfect summer salad, light lunch, or fresh dinner recipe.

There's a reason why this Waldorf salad belongs on every holiday dinner table. It's a symphony of crisp apples, celery, grapes, and crunchy walnuts, tossed in a tangy-sweet, creamy dressing that adds the perfect refreshing touch. Created in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York (during the 1800's), the original recipe was made up of only apples, celery, and mayo. This simple combo lived on for quite some time. But as usual, adaptations are made as time goes on. In the video I'll show you how to make my version of the classic Waldorf salad that includes additional grapes, toasted nuts, and fresh herbs, with a touch of lemon and honey to the dressing. It's delicious! And for extra protein, I'll show you how to make a chicken Waldorf salad. This is a great "full meal" salad.

Grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce is arguably the best easy dinner recipe during summer! The steak is meltingly tender, topped with savory herbaceous goodness, and made in under 30 minutes. Steak served with chimichurri (also known as churrasco) is one of my favorite Latin American dishes. You'll probably see it on fancy dinner menus, but honestly, this homemade version is just as good. Especially with this fresh, homemade chimichurri sauce. And for an authentic chimichurri sauce, you definitely need to chop all ingredients by hand (this is how they do it in Argentina and Uruguay). This budget-friendly steak recipe is perfect for family dinners and entertaining. Hope you enjoy it as well! https://rumble.com/c/c-3480432 #healthy #Paleo #Vegan #Downshiftology #Food #Cooking #Kitchen #Recipes #Easy #Vitamix #Organization #Pantry #Minimalist #Minimalism #Gluten Free #Gluten Free Recipes #How To Cook #How To Make #Healthy Recipes
