Oye. One-Pan Chicken Philly Pitas with Sriracha Mayo. Thats a mouthful. They’re a mouthful. Happy mouthful to you, my dears!
These types of “sheet pan meals” are all over this here interweb these days. The plot: put it all on a sheet pan, bake it and eat it. Clever, no? Makes a great story for a quick weeknight meal. Continue reading
If you have been following along here for a while you have probably realized that refined sugar and flour recipes don’t come around Nourished Peach much. Quite frankly, this could be the very first one I have ever written about. But just hear me out.
We eat well. And by we, I mean my family at home and you, my NP family. We do, we pack our every day diets with color and nutrients and protein and diversity. Not because we want to see the scale drop or because we are trying to stay hip to new diet trends; because we care for our bodies, we care about the food we eat and because we get pleasure from gorgeous, enjoyable meals. Food, with NP, is not only about fueling our bodies. It’s about seriously enjoying the process of preparing the food and the gratification of the finished, delicious product. And more than anything, to me, it is about sharing that finished product with the people I love most. It’s about feeding bellies and souls. Cooking is my favorite way to show love, and enjoying a meal with my friends and family is my favorite way to spend time. Having all of those wonderful reasons we eat well allows us the ability to avoid diet rollercoasters, deprivation and unhealthful relationships with food. Continue reading
Truth: my family has about had it with zucchini, I am afraid. As promised, I am dedicating this entire week on the blog to zucchini-because man, it’s everywhere and it’s just got to be utilized. So, as one would assume, I have been testing zucchini recipes left and right in my kitchen for the last couple of weeks. Some failed miserably, some were just mediocre, and some wowed us and actually convinced me that my children like zucchini; these Cheesy Mexican Zucchini boats were one of those.
I shared the recipe on KARE11 a couple of days ago and it was such a great time. I always love spending afternoons around there-the people are just so darn friendly, the work space is so far beyond most local TV station kitchens, and it’s a total excuse for me to get out and ‘work’ outside of my own kitchen; so fun! Click here to see the video if you didn’t catch it. I’m happy to say the recipe was totally loved by all! Continue reading
Happy Zucchini Week, friends! I have taken it upon myself to dedicate this entire week of posts to this oh-so-pretty veggie…they are perfectly ripe, perfectly available, perfectly local and so very versatile. I’ll be pumping your recipe boxes full of some really fun ways to utilize this yummy in-season veggie and I hope you love each one!
The goal is to give you zucchini lovers some new, fun inspiration and to turn you haters into believers. Zucchini is so much more than a soggy, sautéed side dish or casserole and I hope to prove that time and time again this week. And what better way to start that mission than with these Zucchini, Corn + Cheddar Cakes? Words cannot express my love for these little bundles of yum!
Well, folks, my lovely oven is not working…it’s been a sad couple of days. But you know what? If my oven is going to go on strike it couldn’t have picked a better week for such a catastrophe. It’s hot outside. Like, reeeeaaaaalllyy, really sticky hot. There is just no way I would be using the oven in this heat, that I can assure you. So with the heat, and an oven thats waiting for the doctor to arrive, the grill saves the day!
Here we’ve got Grilled Chicken Summer Club sandwiches; start to finish in way less than 30 minutes. And these are not just any sammich. These are little delicious packages that have summer written all over them. Continue reading

Do you guys have that urge to cook a solid meal on Sundays? Like, a stick to your ribs, starchy, midwestern type meal? I can’t get over it. I don’t know what it is. But chances are you’ll never see me serving a main course salad or light dish on that savored last-day-of-the-weekend. It just doesn’t feel right. Continue reading
Happy official summer, friends! It’s a much anticipated time here in Minnesota and man can we embrace it. Lakes for days. Warmth. Homegrown produce. BBQs. Patios. Late bedtimes. Smores over a bonfire. Sandy shoes. And CORN.
Let’s just get something straight, for starters. I love Minnesota. Living here is perfect for myself and my family. But I am a gosh darn Iowa girl..and proud of it. 18 wonderful years of my life were spent in Iowa and aside from Hawkeye football…and pork…and so many other fabulous things….that place reigns supreme for homegrown corn. There’s just nothing like it. We ate it so often in the summers…and there were always farmers selling it out of the back of their trucks along the sides of the roads. Hows that for fresh?

It’s funny. Sunday, in my brain, is supposed to be for ‘Sunday Meals’. You know, the fancy, time-consuming meals you can’t get accomplished during the week. But rarely does it end up being that way around here. Sunday is typically the day I go out during nap time and get my meal plan/shopping done for the week. It sounds silly, but that little mission takes time, so I am always rushing back home to get dinner on the table before it’s too late. Sunday dinners usually need to be low maintenance and ultra quick for me. And often times that means firing up the grill to throw steak or fish on and often times it’s paired with these Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges. Insanely quick. Continue reading
I present to you, on this fabulous little oh-you-came-too-quickly Monday, a recipe that you will use. A lot. On repeat. Promise.
