White Chicken Stew with Homemade Tortilla Chips

March 18, 2018 by Dawna Stone

Cold or warm weather, I love my soup, stew and chili recipes! And I'm always busy creating new ones with the season’s best produce. For stews, I love going to the farmer’s market for fresh, local vegetables to combine in one healthy dish.

This White Chicken Stew is a favorite. It is hearty, yet healthy, and full of lean protein. The vegetables along with the beans and chicken create an amazing balance of taste and texture. The meal will leave you and the family feeling warm, happy and satisfied. It’s also easy to make extra servings for delicious (and easy) leftovers.

Get the recipe below. And if you're looking to jump-start your healthy eating, join me for a quick and simple 5-Day Detox!

Roasted Cauliflower and Spinach Salad

October 7, 2017 by Dawna Stone

Roasting vegetables is so satisfying. It's super easy to do and it changes the taste, texture, and look of the veggie to create a completely new version.

Sometimes I roast veggies without knowing what I'm going to do with them. In this case, I had a craving for cauliflower and bought a good looking bunch at the local market. After roasting them for 25 to 30 minutes, I scoured the refrigerator and pantry to see what else I had on hand. I ended up with this delightful spinach salad with carrots, dates, and pine nuts and a simple, homemade dressing.

So satisfying and so healthy.
