![]() Eating healthy does not have to mean slaving over a stove for hours on end. Don't get me wrong, I do sometimes love to spend a lot of time cooking and trying out new things. But sometimes, I just don't have the energy. I am sure many of you feel the same way, and just don't have the stamina to put too much effort into cooking. That's why I wanted to share this recipe for a quick, easy, and delicious salad that pairs wonderfully with oven-baked salmon for a quick, no-fuss, but quite fancy meal. The hardest step is peeling the cucumber...but guess what? You can leave the skin on! And if you are feeling very fatigued, do the salad preparation at the kitchen table to save energy. I get it, sometimes there just isn't enough energy for everything, but try to save up some to at least cut up your veggies. Cucumber Salad

![]() We were lucky enough to be able to visit one of the many apple orchards in the area this fall, which means we had a lot of apples in our kitchen. As I was pondering what to do with the overwhelming amount of apples, my daughter yells out "Let's make apple crumble!". It was a genius idea! Since we already know the basics for a crumble recipe from my Blueberry Lemon Crumble recipe, I figured this should be a snap. Basically, I just switched out the blueberries for apples (but instead of 16 oz I used 32 oz of fruit) and added a bit more fruit juice with an additional lemon and orange and added some fall spices. It turned out so good that I am bringing it to Thanksgiving with the family this year. Maybe you will, too. Apple Crumble Recipe

![]() Since the holidays are approaching, I wanted to make sure to share one of my favorite recipes that can make this time of the year extra special. The nuts give this loaf a nice and toasty flavor while the zucchini adds moisture and additional vitamins. It is perfect for special occasions but can also be made anytime you are in the mood for something comforting and cozy. It pretty straightforward to assemble (just process the nuts and spices and mix in the rest) and can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge prior to baking (stop at step 4 below). If you are looking for a delicious main dish to make this holiday season you should try this one out. It will definitely be a nice addition to the dinner table.
