It’s the week after Thanksgiving and I’m STILL eating turkey… but it turned out delicious, so I figured I’d better share my recipe for super simple Herb Roasted Turkey Breast. I promise it’s juicy and will have perfectly crispy skin – this one is definitely a crowd pleaser! In fact, Colin did say it’s...
One of my go-to “recipes” for easy weeknight dinners is cutting up a bunch of veggies, putting them on a sheet pan with a little olive oil and salt/pepper, and popping them in the oven for about 20 minutes. So simple. So fast. Requires zero thought. I figured I could apply the same idea...

In French, sous vide literally means “under vacuum”. This method of cooking involves sealing food in an airtight bag and submerging it in a temperature-controlled water bath for...
Do you have a go-to sauce? If I’m being honest, mine is probably ranch (pretty sure this is an Iowa/Midwest thing…). However, I’ve recently developed a love affair with chimichurri. Fragrant, flavorful, and fresh – it covers all of my bases for a marinade, dressing, and sauce. I just love its versatility – marinate...
These breakfast egg cups may be my new favorite lazy girl hack. I HATE waking up early to eat breakfast. To me, an extra 10 minutes of sleep is more valuable than throwing some bread in the toaster and filling my belly (although I almost always regret it later). Luckily, I work in food...
Things are getting spicy over here in the Mindfully Well kitchen! The weather is warming up and so are our tastebuds with this Spicy Turkey Chorizo. Authentic, flavorful, and ready in less than 15 minutes – what’s not to love?...
