Last up in the “When life gives you lemons🍋” series…this chicken souvlaki with tzatziki is always a crowd pleaser🌟 For the chicken, chop parsley, dill & garlic, add a squeeze of lemon juice and enough olive oil that the marinade has the consistency of pesto. Cut chicken breast into large cubes, coat generously with marinade, and refrigerate for a few hours up to overnight. Then skewer, season with S&P, and grill along with more lemon🍋 For the tzatziki…combine whole milk Greek yogurt, shredded English cucumber with the liquid squeezed out, chopped dill & mint, salt, a little lemon juice & evoo. Season to taste✨ #latergram #food #cleaneating #health #grilling #grillingseason #glutenfree #summerfood #chicken #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #chef #chefsofinstagram #privatechef #instafood #eattherainbow #foodgrams #privatecheflife #glutenfree #goodeats #foodphotography #cheflife #eatlocal #lowcarb #keto #tampachefs

Grilled broccolini, potatoes & artichokes with grilled lemon🍋🌟The secret to grilling broccolini & potatoes is to steam them first until tender. Use canned whole artichoke hearts, drain them and squeeze out all the water with a paper towel. Then toss it all with evoo and season generously with S&P and whatever spices you’d like. Use a grill pan with small wholes for the potatoes, stirring a few times. The broccolini, artichokes & lemons can go straight onto the grill for that char action. Perfect summer side dish or #vegetarian feast!✨ #food #cleaneating #health #grilling #grillingseason #summer #summerfood #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #chef #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #goopmake #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #privatechef #instagood #instafood #eattherainbow #foodgrams #privatecheflife #buzzfeedfood #goodeats #foodphotography #eatyourveggies #eatrealfood #wellness #mostlyhealthychef

When life gives you lemons…grill them🍋The juices caramelize and add a bright acidity to all the deep smokey flavors coming off the grill…like this harissa grilled #chicken🌟#latergram #food #cleaneating #health #grilling #grillingseason #glutenfree #summerfood #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #chef #chefsofinstagram #privatechef #instafood #eattherainbow #foodgrams #privatecheflife #buzzfeedfood #goodeats #foodphotography #cheflife #eatlocal #stpeteeats #tampaeats #tampachefs

When food is art✨There’s arugula and cucumber ribbons under there somewhere…topped with the sweetest Florida mango, watermelon radishes & avocado. Love this with an orange-cumin vinaigrette…peel a navel orange, cut it in half and remove any seeds, drop it in a blender with 1-2 TBSP sherry vinegar, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp sea salt & 1/2 c evoo. Give it a whirl, then adjust the acid & seasoning until it’s just where you like it🍊🌟 #foodismedicine #health #salad #avocado #healthyliving #healthyfood #glutenfree #vegetables #recipes #recipes4health #veggies #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #healthyrecipes #wellness #cleaneating #privatechef #eatyourveggies #eattherainbow #eatyourgreens #dinnerideas #iinhealthcoach #vegan #veganrecipes #chef #cheflife #chefsofinstagram #food #goodeats #mostlyhealthychef

Treat vegetables like the main attraction, not an afterthought🌟These Nicoise vegetables are a client favorite. Blanched green beans, roasted potatoes (or sub roasted cauliflower), roasted red onions & grape tomatoes, tossed with kalamata olives, capers and loads of fresh dill, parsley & chives. It is a total flavor bomb🤩 #foodismedicine #health #healthyliving #healthyfood #glutenfree #vegetables #recipes #recipes4health #veggies #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #healthyrecipes #wellness #cleaneating #privatechef #eatyourveggies #eattherainbow #foodgrams #eatyourgreens #instagood #dinnerideas #iinhealthcoach #healthcoach #chef #cheflife #chefsofinstagram #food #vegan #veganrecipes #mostlyhealthychef

Now onto my favorite topic…veggies! I don’t really believe in diets, I just think moderation is key. Except when it comes to vegetables…eat all the different kinds of them, eat lots of them, and eat them often. But make them taste good! Pictured here…zucchini and yellow squash with parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes & basil. I disgorged (remember that word?!) the squash just like I did for the goat cheese crostata…tossed the cut squash with sea salt and let it sit, then drained out the water that the salt pulled out of the squash. That way the squash doesn’t turn to mush while roasting. Toss the squash with evoo & @traderjoes soffrito spice (a blend of herbs, aromatics & chili flakes) and spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese, then roasted at 425 for 20-30 minutes until the squash is tender and the cheese is golden. Top with sun-dried tomatoes & fresh basil✨ #foodismedicine #health #healthyliving #healthyfood #glutenfree #vegetables #recipes #recipes4health #veggies #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #healthyrecipes #wellness #cleaneating #privatechef #eatyourveggies #eattherainbow #foodgrams #eatyourgreens #dinnerideas #iinhealthcoach #healthcoach #chef #cheflife #chefsofinstagram #food #goodeats #instagood #instafood #mostlyhealthychef
