I got to enjoy quite a feast before heading off to CPR class tonight (a requirement for my upcoming Stroller Strides classes, not just for a good time): lamb & pistachio meatballs, the cumin/cinnamon roasted sweet potatoes, and the Israeli cous cous with spinach and Feta. Delish. I gave myself a little pat on the back before trotting off to blow hot air into dummies. I’d intended to post the recipe for the meatballs and yogurt sauce when I got home, but instead am sitting here at midnight watching Noggin with a wheezing toddler in my lap, hoping the medicine works….looking at a sleepless night ahead. Assuming I can keep my eyes open, I promise to post some new recipes tomorrow.
I love hearing that so many of you have had such success (and enjoyed!) recreating these meals. It feels great to have a repertoire of some easy meals that are healthy and interesting, doesn’t it?
Welcome to The Full Plate blog, where you'll find simple, healthful recipes...so parents like you can nourish your families, even on the busiest of days. I am a recipe developer, culinary instructor and former personal chef. But first and foremost, I'm a mom. I love spending time in my kitchen… but I certainly don't want to spend all day in it! Here, I share my recipes for both make-ahead and simple-to-make recipes so you, too, can collect "bonus hours" to spend with your family, friends… or so you can just enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. Poke around the blog, try a recipe that sounds good, or grab one of my ebooks with done-for-you shopping lists, freezer-friendly recipes, packaging recs, and more. Scroll down to search for a particular recipe, or to see some of the awards my blog has won. I hope that you enjoy my recipes, and that you, too, start collecting those "bonus hours".
For dates of available cooking lessons please email me. Lessons are private or semi-private, hands-on and are offered in your own kitchen. The goal of these lessons is to get you comfortable with a couple of family-friendly dinners and meals for easy entertaining at home.
Eila's Background
I have completed culinary training at the Institute for Culinary Education in NYC and a Professional Certificate in “Techniques of Healthy Cooking” at the Culinary Institute of America (Napa campus), an M.B.A. from Northwestern, a B.A. from Colgate University and have a knack for being able to whip up a gourmet meal with whatever I find in our fridge and pantry. I am also proud to be on the board of directors of The Tiny Miracles Foundation, a Fairfield County, CT-based nonprofit organization that provides support to families who experience the premature birth of a child.
