When I started this blog back in 2008, it was just a hobby that I really enjoyed. Never in my dreams would I have imagined what was to come. In March of 2011, I left my full time job and career in the city which allowed me to give my 100% to Skinnytaste and spend more quality time with my baby. It was scary and exciting at the same time, but I wouldn ‘t change a thing!...
Hey Recipe Critic readers!! Chelsea from Chelsea’s Messy Apron here for one of the last recipes in the month of January. Which means it’s obviously still a healthy recipe, or is everyone done with their healthy eating resolutions by now? Regardless of resolutions or none this is a recipe you’ll want to make again and again! It’s a super simple granola that takes minutes to put together and not too long to bake....
And with everyone on lockdown and nowhere to go but my one-bedroom apartment, “taking time off” has not seemed very alluring. For one, I don’t sleep in, and two, I don’t enjoy watching TV in the middle of the day (I’ve been called a robot, I’m fine with that). Given these stay-at-home circumstances, “taking a vacation” would’ve involved me reading books for 10 hours a day on my couch. No, thanks....

White Chocolate Cranberry Blondies I recently shared this Cheesy Taco Soup and my experience from our retreat that we had in Malibu. I became a flavor expert as I put all of the McCormick spices and vanilla extract to the test. It was so fun spending the day together and learning all of insider tips to become a flavor expert. One thing that really stood out to me was the vanilla tasting....
Yogurt-Marinated Chicken These grilled Yogurt-Marinated Chicken thighs (or breasts) are so juicy and delicious thanks to this easy yogurt marinade. This quick yogurt marinade is flavored with lots of garlic, oregano, red vinegar and turmeric and takes only minutes to whip up. I love marinating my chicken with yogurt because it makes the chicken so incredibly tender! I like to make this a meal by serving it with a Greek salad using tzatziki as the dressing, or make it a rice bowl with rice pilaf and some cucumbers....
35 Zucchini Recipes Here’s an easy challenge anyone can do! Eat a SUPERFOOD everyday! Now, I’m not saying to run to the health food store and spend tons of money. A superfood is one that’s loaded with nutrition and significantly helps boost your health in some way, says the Skinnytaste dietitian Heather K. Jones. Zucchini is definitely a super (good-for-you) food. It’s low in calories (a medium zucchini has around just 30 calories) and chock full of heart-healthy nutrients including Vitamins C and A, potassium, folate, and fiber....
You can’t beat foods cooked in the air fryer. They are so good, and there is no mess!

Anyone else into The Bachelorette as much as I am? Tonight I watched the 20/20 Special on Inside the Bachelor on my DVR. I personally think a lot of this drama is real, and I love it! I can’t wait to see who Ali chooses on Monday. Rumor has it that she picks no one. OMG, I would be so annoyed because both guys are great in my opinion, especially Rrrrrrrrrrrrrroberto (rolling the r)… LOL!...
Been there, done that, stayed for dinner Every now and again I crave the food swaddled most deeply within my memories. They aren’t always meals I’ve eaten multiple times. Sometimes they’re the ones closely tethered to people, emotions and of course, to taste. They are edible memories preserved through senses and relationships. A sherbet fountain from my parent’s sweet shop, my late father-in-law’s Sunday morning bhajiya, the caramel buttercream in my wedding cake and the takeaway pizza I devoured in my hospital bed after my son was born....

Oh man, I love avocados. I think most of my recipes involve avocados. I had to do a little damage control after eating all of these cookies. I decided that I wanted to bake some avocados in a cheese filled burrito for lunch. The result was amazing. The ingredients are simple in these burritos. But they are full of flavor. I loved the fresh avocados in every bite. These burritos are better for you because they are baked....
I feel like I have been in a breakfast rut since my boys have been out of school. We have been eating the same things and it was time for a change. My boys love oatmeal and eat two packs at a time. I loved the idea of baked oatmeal and couldn’t wait to try this out for breakfast. This takes minutes to mix together. It is quick and easy!...
Baked Ziti with Spinach A great dish for Meatless Mondays, or any day of the week. We eat it with a garden salad, the portions and generous and satisfying. More baked pasta dishes I love are Chicken Parmesan Lasagna and Three Cheese Stuffed Zucchini Lasagna Rolls. Also this Sausage and Peppers Macaroni Casserole. I’m reviving this from the archives to update the photos. This makes enough for eight, so if you have a small family, you’ll probably have leftovers for lunch or freeze the rest for convenient freezer meals....
