Hello, hello! It’s Friday Faves!

Fast and easy balanced dinners are exactly what I’m craving right now. They’re even better when the veggies take up more than half my plate, and my protein is lowfat and high in omega 3s. At least that’s what all the nutritionists say, and I’m listening. Baked salmon with a spoonful of my fave tartar sauce, a simple zucchini side, baked sweet potato with a squeeze of lemon, and some white rice I pulled from the fridge (have you heard about this study? crazy!). Cooked and on the table in 15 minutes. See? Dinner can be faster (and healthier) than Door Dash!
I wear contacts and I’m pretty convinced they cut down on my exposure to onion fumes when I’m cutting them. But if you don’t, here’s how NOT to cry while chopping onions.

There’s finally a crispness to the air, and I want this salad on repeat.

This one-pot fall dinner couldn’t be cozier.
Speaking of cozy, it doesn’t get much better than chicken pot pie, and this recipe is my forever fave.
And, here are 5 soups that have caught my eye:
- Hearthy and nourishing, this soup packs big Italian flavor.
- A creamy, dreamy chowder with one of my favorite ingredients.
- Why choose between soup and salad when you can have both in this clever concotion?
- Can’t resist a soup with mini meatballs.
- An excellent clean-out-your-fridge soup.
Definitely making these waffles on Sunday. That syrup!
