Sumac-Spiced Chicken with Pomegranate Glaze Recipe

‘Tis the season for entertaining! I know many people toss aside the clean eating when they invite friends over for a dinner party, but I am not that way. I love the opportunity to share healthy food with those I care about. And I also notice that more and more people are trying to eat “better” and are relieved when they don’t have to eat outside whatever plan they have committed to. I recently had a dinner party and everything I made was fresh and whole foods-based, nothing heavy or over-the-top. My friends were delighted to leave feeling satisfied, but not regretful!

Cucumber-Hummus-Turkey Roll-ups

This post is sponsored by Applegate. All opinions are my own.

It’s so nice to be back in a routine, isn’t it? This time of year for me means regular mealtimes, a little healthier eating (watermelon, olives and rosè no longer count as a dinner), meal prep on Sundays, and making school lunches. I will admit, school lunches throw me since my son doesn’t eat the classic lunchbox staple, a sandwich. And many of you often message me asking for new school lunch ideas. I have a great “recipe” for you that my son is crazy for, and so I am. Meet the “cucumber-turkey roll-up!”Continue reading

Easy Chinese Chicken

My friend Lisa Leake of 100DaysofRealFood.com just came out with her THIRD book and I couldn’t be more excited to share a recipe with you. Her new book is called “100 Days of Real Food on a Budget” and it has the same mission as her other two books and her site which is to highlight why and how easy it is for a family to eat an unprocessed diet. Obviously, Lisa and I are on the same page, so to speak.Continue reading

The Best Turkey Meatloaf Recipe

I’m going to visit my family on Long Island soon which means I am putting together a mega meal plan for the week. Feeding 15 people of all different ages breakfast, lunch and dinner requires some careful planning. I usually do the menus as well as take on the role of head chef. My mother typically does the grocery shopping and helps with the cooking. My two sisters also help with the cooking and washing of the dishes. The little ones set and clear the table and occasionally I get one or two of them in the kitchen with me. It’s a good way to spend time together and make sure not one person (like me LOL) does everything.Continue reading

Greek-style Grilled Chicken Paillard Recipe

Greek-style Grilled Chicken Paillard | Pamela Salzman

I like to plan ahead, even if things don’t always work out that way. Sometimes half the fun is in the planning, such as a vacation or an upcoming weekend. And sometimes the anticipation is better than the reality LOL! I do a lot of food planning – classes, family meals for the week, and holidays, for example. It’s truly one of my favorite things to do and I love thinking about how everyone will enjoy a particular meal or recipe.Continue reading

Yerba Mate Chicken and Cilantro Soup Recipe

Yerba Mate Chicken and Cilantro Soup | Pamela Salzman

This blogpost is sponsored by the Argentinian Yerba Mate Board. All opinions are my own.

Let me introduce you to my new favorite morning companion, Argentinian Yerba Mate. I have touted my love of tea many times on this blog and on my instagram, and I believe it’s a wonderful addition to a well-balanced, whole food diet. Yerba mate, however, is a step up from your typical bag of green tea. Originated and grown in Argentina from the yerba mate tree, this tea is chock-full of powerful antioxidants (shown to be even higher than green tea) and nutrients such as vitamins B and C, zinc, potassium and manganese. Yerba mate has been found to be ‘hepatoprotective’ which translates to: ‘protecting your liver cells’ and can help in weight loss. I also love that it provides as much energy as a cup of coffee but isn’t as harsh on your stomach. The traditional way to consume it is to prepare it in a traditional Argentinian gourd and drink through a straw.Continue reading

Fesenjan-style Chicken Stew Recipe with Walnut and Pomegranate Sauce Recipe

This post is sponsored by Moink Box. All opinions are my own.

My sister was gifted a “23 and Me” or Ancestry.com (I can’t remember which one) learn-about-your-DNA kit. I honestly thought that was the silliest idea ever since we are 100% Italian. My father was born and raised in Italy and my mother’s four grandparents were all born in Italy. Slam dunk. My sister went through the motions anyway because, why not?

So when she called me after she received her results with a bit of excitement in her voice, it was like life imitating art (i.e. this would play out like one of the commercials.) “You’re not going to believe this,” she said.

Leftover Turkey and Rice Middle Eastern Salad Recipe

Happy Day-After-Thanksgiving! I hope you all had a great holiday. Mine was just lovely and it was so special to spend the day with my girls who are home from college in the kitchen with me. The weather was crazy warm and my husband and I were able to enjoy a beautiful beach walk while the apple pies were in the oven.
