Kaylee isn’t a huge fan of sandwiches, and she eats lunch at 10:30 and has to make it to 3:30, so the higher the protein, the better sustained she’ll be. Gregg loves high protein lunches too, and this wrap is perfect for both of them.

Omega-3 Salmon Tacos
I love fish tacos, and I also love salmon. My parents are from Oregon, and I grew up eating salmon fresh off of the grill all summer long, so combining salmon with fish tacos is just a wonderful concept to me. This packs up as a super healthy brown bag lunch.
Ultimate Italian Turkey Supreme Pizza
A good Italian turkey sausage and turkey pepperoni is a great tasting and healthy alternative to pork, and the flavor combination on this pizza with the sauce and the peppers is just wonderful. It makes about 8 good slices of about 300 calories each.
Fiesta Pita Pizzas
A wonderful recipe, especially if you use my Whole Wheat Perfect Pocket Pita Bread recipe. Pinto beans are rich in folate, but best of all, these are fun to eat and they taste like a party.
Hawaiian Pineapple and Turkey Ham Pizza
My favorite pizza at Papa’s Pizza in my parents’ hometown was their Hawaiian pizza: Canadian bacon, pineapple, and fresh tomato. This is my variation of it, and I love turkey ham and pineapple as much as I loved Papa’s Hawaiian pizza.
Savory Lamb and Fennel Stew
I was shopping at Whole Foods one day and saw lamb shank in their meat counter. I’d just put a bunch of fennel in my basket, and when I saw the shank I thought how good a lamb and fennel stew would be. I’d never done stew without beef before, but the final result was amazing.
Smoky BBQ Chicken Pizza
It is possible to make a great tasting and actually healthy, good-for-you pizza. This one is a special treat because I get to use my great friend Kelly the Kitchen Kop’s very own barbeque sauce, and it makes about 8 good slices of just over 275 calories each.
Roasting the Perfect Turkey
Roasting a turkey may seem like a daunting task, but it’s really not that difficult. It’s just a matter of making sure it’s cooked all the way, and making sure you don’t over-cook it. Under-cooked turkey is a health hazard, and over-cooked turkey can be dry.
Easy Kid-Friendly Fish Sticks
This dish took no time to put together. I used tilapia, because that’s what I had on hand, but just about any white fish will do. The kids loved it, and they loved helping me make it.
Savory Traditional Chicken Tamales
Gregg judges a Mexican restaurant by their tamales. If they aren’t hand made, steamed in a corn husk, with the right flavors, he simply won’t go back to that restaurant. It took me several years to even attempt a recipe for tamales, and I was so excited to find one that he loves.
