Happy Monday-after-the Oscars! I figured I would keep it light and fun {aka complicated-recipe-free} over here on the blog today, as I’m sure many of you are recovering from the excitement of last night’s Oscar party! The hubby and I laid low this year, watching the red carpet with some special homemade healthy-ish cocktails (recipe soon!) and turned in early—we don’t have cable so we didn’t watch the main event, but were just as happy to head to bed early! We’re old.

I started the week with my first easy recipe–a carrot cake inspired smoothie;
followed by another simple, albeit delicious side- grain-free curried cauliflower rice.
I can’t forget my easy-peasy creamy Italian salmon salad, a yummy way to shake up the classic tuna sandwich lunch.
And last my not least—another breakfast treat (you know I love them so!)
Favorite recipe as of late: Coffee flavored banana ice cream
{Around town}
I have a week off from working at the Meghan Telpner Culinary Academy (right before our jam-packed spring season starts on March 12—there’s still time to sign up!!), so I’m recipe testing all week! Pretending it’s spring already, cooking up some light mint-infused, greens-heavy warm weather dishes… while it’s 0 degrees out.
But I have to get ready, because I’m already booking up my weekends for events this spring. Looking to host a bridal shower, cocktail party, romantic evening for two, family gathering, baby shower or another special gathering and want some help from a holistic chef? Check out my website (spring menu up soon!) or jot me an email: kristin@chefkristinrugg.com. Mention you want the new SPRING menu and I’ll give you 10% off your service! I recommend booking my services (for over 6 people) a month in advance.
{What I’m nibbling}
Savory grain-free herb muffins with bacon—yes, you did read that right. Recipe later this week!
{On the web}
So many things on my to-make list! Here’s a few:
Magic kale salad with pistachio and apples
Garlic and sweet pepper Confit
Coming up this week::
-Those muffins above. Get excited.
-Lemon pan-roasted brussels sprouts with goat gouda
-Spice-rubbed pork chops with cashew sage gravy
