My latest piece for Shape.com: Healthy One-Pot Meals

skillet_lasagna

Many of you might know that I recently started freelancing for Shape.com and it’s quickly becoming a big obsession for me, e.g. researching and learning about healthy recipes.  Yes, I said it.  The girl who literally never cooked anything aside from pasta (until maybe four years ago) is now writing articles about COOKING.  It’s a big accomplishment for me, both as a writer AND as a 30-year-old who used to literally live on NYC Chinese takeout and salads from Chipotle.  Ok, so I still probably get salads from Chipotle at least twice a week (they are GOOD, guys), but at least now I can feasibly make simple and healthy things for myself.  Case and point, THESE recipes for healthy one-pot meals.  Tell me, what are your easy go-to meals?

Sautéd Kale and Avocado Salad

kale and avocado salad

You know when you feel like you want something to eat but you’re not quite that hungry?  I felt that way today, after eating a big breakfast.  It was around 2pm and I knew that if I didn’t eat then, I would be hungry by 4 and then my dinner schedule would get ALL KINDS of messed up. UGH, it’s a tough life, lol.  Anywho, I came across this recipe on Shape.com and it looks so good (and easy).  I skipped the quinoa and apple, since  I didn’t have any at home, but the combo of sauted kale and avocado is light and yet, I’m still satisfied.  Oh, and two words for you: truffle salt.
