Feeling under the weather? You can make this soup in ONE POT and in just 7 minutes! No chopping or peeling required. Vegan, oil-free, and gluten-free if you use gluten-free noodles! This fall/winter season has not been good to me. Usually, I have an incredible immune system…but I’ve been sick 3 times in about 3 months. My immune system can barely come up to breathe! During times when you’re sick, it can be a struggle to still eat healthily. And eating healthy food can be tough when you don’t want to be in the kitchen for more than 10 minutes. We often resort to store-bought soups – and the selection for soup is better than it used to be, but oh man, that sodium! I love a good chickpea noodle soup and try to keep some prepped in the freezer, but I quickly went through it during my early sick days. Plus, it requires a good amount of chopping. The LAST thing I want to do when I have a fever is stand at the counter and chop carrots. During my last round of sickness, I came up with a super ...

Easy Teriyaki Salmon pan-fried to perfection and served with a homemade teriyaki sauce! Serve with rice and veggies to make it a meal! I’ve been eating tons of salmon lately. It is hands down my favorite fish to eat. It’s mild and super easy to prepare. The salmon get’s marinated in a simple teriyaki sauce then pan fried. The sauce compliments the salmon perfectly and is sweet, tangy and thick. I reserve half the sauce for marinating and the other half for glazing the salmon during cooking. I love making my own teriyaki sauce at home. It’s so much easier to control the sweetness and the salt level. I used the same homemade teriyaki sauce as my Easy Teriyaki Beef Meatballs and my Teriyaki Baked Salmon. This sauce is really easy to prepare and is amazing on chicken as well. The teriyaki sauce consists of soy sauce, water, ginger, garlic and brown sugar. The sauce gets nice and thick with a simple cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon cold water). This is the perfect din...
