Cinco de Mayo Steak Fajitas

April 29, 2015 by Ilana Traeger

Steak Fajitas 4

Cinco de Mayo is approaching and although I’m 0% Mexican, I plan to celebrate with sangria, margaritas, and this awesome steak fajita recipe.  Fajitas are a perfect weeknight meal because they’re easy to make, come together quickly & the recipe can be doubled (or tripled) to feed a family or large group of friends celebrating Mexico’s victory over France.

The Best Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies 3

Birthday celebrations call for sweet treats covered in sprinkles.  I celebrated my best friend’s 25th in NYC this past weekend & couldn’t visit without something delicious!  Although cake or cupcakes are typical birthday desserts, I knew neither of those options would travel well.  I thought cookies would be the best alternative & I was right.

Healthier Banana Bread

Healthier Banana Bread 2

I often get the urge to bake, which isn’t always ‘waistline friendly’.  That said, one of my favorite things to do is turn decadent recipes into healthier alternatives.  Although this version of banana bread is healthier than a traditional recipe, it packs a ton of flavor without sacrificing taste.

Spring is finally here… it’s been cold & rainy but it’s finally here!  While thinking of seasonal recipes, I wanted to create a fresh, healthy dish packed with veggies and herbs.  Loaded with asparagus, peas, basil & chives, this quinoa salad definitely hit the spot.

April 2, 2015 by Ilana Traeger

Macaroons 6

Coconut macaroons are an essential Passover dessert.  Flourless, coconut packed cookies, dipped in chocolate are a perfect way to end any Seder.  This year, I’ve created traditional homemade macaroons.
