Perry's Plate - Making healthy family recipes since 2008

Cornbread dressing has been beloved in our family for decades. Whether you call it dressing or stuffing, I promise that everyone around your Thanksgiving table will call it delicious! I love this southern twist on a classic with bits of sausage and all the herby flavors you love in stuffing. I mean dressing.

Warning: This beautiful tart might upset your Thanksgiving pie rankings and jump to the top of your list. My family (including every child) devoured this cranberry curd tart in one sitting. Don’t try it unless your other pies have thick skin and do OK with rejection.

My favorite part about delicata squash? NO PEELING NECESSARY! In fact, that bumpy exterior turns into delightfully crispy edges after a trip in the oven. Roasted delicata squash will become your new favorite vegetable side dish!

I’m a self-proclaimed vegetable ninja and love using bits of leftover produce to create a meal without waste! This pumpkin curry is the perfect home for those vegetables as well as that partial can of pumpkin puree giving you side eye. It’s cozy and nourishing and comes together in about 45 minutes!

During the fall season the Internet explodes with fun desserts, and my practical, health conscious self thinks “What about dinner? We still have to eat dinner!” While I’m not opposed to said desserts, the majority of the time I’m craving hearty, healthy things to keep me going during these busy months. Things like this buddha …

Soft, frosted sugar cookies that are laced with pumpkin and AND gluten free? Yep. I’ve cracked the code — these gluten free pumpkin cookies rival any frosted sugar cookie and your gluten free friends will love you for it.

These healthy meal plans are for six dinner recipes and a dessert thrown in for fun! All of these recipes are (mostly) paleo friendly, seasonal, and most can be easily adapted to be Keto/Low-Carb or Whole30 friendly.

Traditional shawarma is spit-roasted and shaved into thin slices. I don’t have a way to spit roast anything, and I’m guessing you don’t either. My version of chicken shawarma has all the shawarma flavors you love in sheet pan form! No spit roasting needed.

I love taking something that no one is excited about (ie. turkey burgers) and turning it into something that makes your eyes roll back into your head. This burger has shredded zucchini to keep it moist, shawarma seasoning for a punch of personality, and a few special toppings that make it the best, most unique …

Spice blends are one of my specialties as a recipe developer, and when I realized how difficult it was to find shawarma seasoning locally, I decided to create my own homemade version. Turns out it’s super easy and you may have most of the ingredients already!

Out of nearly 20 salmon recipes I have on my site, this one is by far the quickest, easiest, and has the fewest ingredients. Blackened salmon will become your go-to healthy meal during the week when you need something fast. (Being super delicious is a big bonus, too!)

Bacon cheeseburgers are the bomb, but may I suggest an upgrade? If you’ve been around for a while you know that I like to take familiar recipes and twist them a little. (Or a lot.) This time I took a bacon cheeseburger and swapped out regular bacon for… bacon jam. The result? You’re new favorite …

After almost 20 years of recipe tinkering, my favorite game is STILL “Will it taco?” I have an obscene love for tacos. Taking a different turn with these and used a grilled pork and pineapple for the filling, I was inspired by pork and pineapple tacos we had during two different trips to Mexico. And …

I’ve been grilling pizza for over 10 years, and if the thought of putting pizza dough straight on your grill freaks you out, you’re in the right place. I promise it’s easier than it looks and it won’t make a mess in your grill! I’ll show you all my favorite tricks and you’ll be grilling …

After several years into my sourdough journey, I keep going back to my favorite recipes. This pizza dough is one of them! I got rid of the fussy steps (kneading? nope) and tweaked the measurements so you’ll have the tastiest, easiest sourdough pizza dough of your life.

Over the years I’ve developed recipes specifically for the “frazzled mom” era that I’m in. I want you to have lightning fast, nourishing meals in your back pocket that your kids will actually eat. This Ginger Chicken Salad uses rotisserie chicken and pre-shredded vegetables as a smart shortcut!

I’ve thrown a LOT of parties over the last decade, and I always make a big drink dispenser of infused water. After tinkering with a lot of different combinations over the years, we have one that’s our all-time favorite. I’ll share that with you along with a few other ideas to give your water a …

I always get rave reviews from my readers about my seasoning blends, and I have a feeling that this one will be no different! Blackening seasoning creates a deliciously rich crust on whatever meat you’re searing. Chances are you have all the ingredients on hand now so you could use it tonight!

One of my favorite types of recipes to create are ones that are nutritious, also tasty. (Yes, it’s possible.) This farro salad is precisely that — totally delicious AND nourishing! It might seem like there’s a lot going on here, but this salad can go from zero to in your face in under 30 minutes.

I’ve been on a mission to make gluten free versions of my favorite treats for over a decade. These sugar cookies are based on my mom’s recipe I’ve been using for over 30 years, and I finally made a gluten free version to rival those. These are GOOD. And not just “good — for gluten …

Did I ever tell you I’m the queen of condiments? At any given time I can whip out several “secret weapons” to transform what I’m eating. Bacon jam is the new favorite of everyone in my house. That sweet-tangy mixture of bacon and caramelized onions is easy to make and my new favorite way to …
