We have soooo much catching up to do. I know I’ve said that before, but it is coming and this post is the start of it.

If there’s one thing we go through QUICKLY in my household it’s olive oil.
We use it for 99% of our cooking.
We learned some really interesting facts about olive oil during our time in Israel last year.
In the coming months, I’ll be reviewing a few a few more bottles of olive oil and sharing other tips for selection, usage and proper storage.
I’ve shared a bit of what we learned in my YouTube video, below:
I love making pasta. Â I feel like the possibilities are almost endless.
Now, I know I said I try to limit the number of occasions that I make traditional pasta in one of my previous posts— but let’s be honest– there’s nothing like a good fettuccine!
I received a stainless steel colander to review and used it to make one of my favorite recipes.
Here’s a bit of info about the colander:
Anyone who loves to cook knows the importance of a high quality colander. The Pro Chef Kitchen Tools round colander is strong, stylish and efficient and I’m happy to have it in my collection. Â When I’m not using it to cook, it also doubles as a great fruit/veggie holder on my counter top!
Now that you know a good bit about the colander, here’s the all important recipe and some photos of the colander in action!
We made this dish using another Blue Apron recipe. Â (This isn’t a sponsored post — I just REALLY like Blue Apron and they post ALL of their recipes online, so you can use them even if you don’t subscribe. Â I LOVE THAT!)
Ingredients:
Directions:
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Snap off and discard the tough, woody ends of the asparagus; cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces on an angle. Remove and discard the kale stems; finely chop the leaves. Pick the rosemary leaves off the stems; discard the stems and roughly chop the leaves. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces; transfer to a bowl. Season the chopped chicken with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
I’ve already shared a good bit about my history of dealing with chronic pain, but the saying is really true– “You are what you eat” and for many of us, inflammation can cause problems and symptoms that may be uncomfortable, painful or even unbearable and what we eat can play a significant role in worsening or improving these symptoms.
With The Fast & Fresh Anti–Inflammatory Cookbook, you can continue to enjoy delicious meals with your loved ones, family and friends, while reducing inflammation, becoming pain free and improving your overall health at the same time.
Each of the recipes in this cookbook are made with easy to find fresh ingredients, are simple to prepare, and are either quick to bake, steam or saute, or they make use of a slow cooker, giving you more time to get on with your busy life while dinner’s cooking!
I think this is a great cookbook and I’m glad I added it to my collection. Â I really appreciate the visual appeal of the book and the wealth of knowledge it shares with the reader.
Moreover, the philosophy is really a powerful one– once you take the time to understand the foods that make you feel good and those that flare up your symptoms, you can enjoy more of those healthy foods that help you to feel better, which will help you to manage your weight and your inflammation and symptoms will (hopefully) continue to decrease over time.
Healthy eating, partnered with a good fitness routine and active lifestyle, have been key to managing my chronic pain issues and I’m even more encouraged after reviewing this cookbook!
