Sheet-Pan Breakfast Bake

If you don’t know, now you know. I am a fan of the Instant Pot and it’s been a lifesaver in the kitchen for me. I recently took a trip to a local Apple Orchard and I had apples coming out my ears. I didn’t have room for the apples in my house anymore and […]

Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs

easy lemon garlic broccolini

I used to hate broccoli growing up. It was like pulling teeth to get me to eat even a small bite. I’m sure I was being extra dramatic. Maybe I was just saving all my vegetable consumption until I was a dietitian?! Who knows. I wish I had known how good vegetables could taste, I […]
