Easy, healthy recipes, full of herbs and spices! Nothing boring here.

Originally from Vancouver (home to NHL’s Canucks), Canada, Dara lived in Utah for many years and now lives in Washington, USA with her family. Dara’s kitchen expertise comes from the everyday experience of preparing healthy food for her very active family. Two teenage boys, always on the go, between school, music lessons, soccer, and baseball; and her husband is a marathon runner, with 15 marathons under his belt—they’re always eating! Their one cat, Taz, also loves to pin them down on the couch for cuddles.

Feeding her family nourishing, delicious food in the form of simple weeknight meals is key to keeping them fueled for the week. Dara’s recipes are all the same ones she cooked and ate on her 30-pound weight loss journey.

“The flavor of the Little Potato Company Creamer potatoes is so unique because they have a wonderful natural sweetness. And you can’t beat their Little size for convenience and that “aww” factor. I am continually impressed by the company’s dedication to providing a top-quality product to their customers.”

Favorite Recipe

She has many, but these Mediterranean Roasted Potato Nachos are definitely a top contender!

Her Inspiration

Ask her family and friends and they’ll tell you that she loves talking about food and how she can make new dishes with a healthy spin. Gathering around the table with family and friends, trying new flavors and experiencing the flavors together, is one of her favorite things to do.
