How Many Emails Can You Expect Per Week?
- I send a weekly newsletter on Saturdays or Sundays, which includes a Weekly Meal Plan (7 dinners + 3 healthy salads) and updates on any new recipes published that week. Both the meal plan and the newsletter are free, just like everything else on my website. I also provide a brief look into my daily life, often featuring my hiking adventures in Colorado and other outdoor activities. You can learn more about my cooking philosophy on my ABOUT page.
- Recipe round-ups. Additionally, I regularly send out recipe round-ups based on seasonal or other themes, such as "10 Best Apple Recipes for Fall", “10 Best Shrimp Recipes” or “7 Easy Sheet Pan Recipes.”
- If you're using Gmail, be sure to check your Promotions folder, as my emails may end up there. You can move my emails to your Primary folder to ensure you don’t miss them.
- The e-mail subscription is 100% free and you can unsubscribe at any time using the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email. You can also re-subscribe whenever you like!
- I prune my email list three times a year, removing subscribers who haven’t opened or clicked on any emails in the last 90 days. This keeps your inbox uncluttered and helps me maintain a manageable list. It's a win-win situation for both you and me. You can always re-subscribe later or sign up for specific seasonal email series.
- How to UNSUBSCRIBE? At the bottom of all my e-mails is the Unsubscribe link - scroll all the way down to the bottom of an e-mail and click on it - you will be unsubscribed!
What Kind of Recipes Can You Expect?
- I focus on cooking with seasonal ingredients. For example, in the Fall, you'll find plenty of recipes featuring butternut squash, spaghetti squash, apples, and pumpkin. In the Winter, I highlight healthier recipes along with comforting dishes. During the Summer, I love incorporating tomatoes, basil pesto, asparagus, peaches, plums, cherries, and other seasonal veggies and fruits.
- From a nutritional standpoint, most of my recipes are protein-based, with many being gluten-free, low-carb, and keto-friendly. I also enjoy creating delicious pasta dishes and refreshing salads.

Hi Julia,
A friend gave be a jar of Lupini Beans because they are low carb. I’m a T2 diabetic and low carb is how I need to eat. I have tried several of your recipes over the last few years because they’re pretty fast and easy, which works well for me since I’m not much of a cook. So I’m looking for ideas on what to do with these beans. I don’t know what they taste like, but I think the texture is similar to a chickpea. I’m thinking maybe a bean salad, any suggestions?
Hi Traci! Here are some of my recommendations:
You can add beans to these salads:

https://juliasalbum.com/shrimp-avocado-salad/

You can also use beans in these dinner recipes. Some of these recipes use rice, so use smaller amounts of rice or replace the rice with lower-carb alternatives like quinoa, cauliflower "rice", or farro:

I love your food blog and look forward to trying out your recipes.thankyou
Thank you, Maxine, happy to have you here. 🙂
Hi, Julia, I really enjoyed your Thai zucchini noodles but am unsure what to do with the honey. Is it 1/4 cup or 2 Tbsp? I used the 1/4 cup and it tasted great but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a step using the 2 Tbsp. Thanks! I love your recipies and usually make 2 or more of them per week.
Hi Resa, so glad you loved my Thai zucchini noodles! I used 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons in that recipe but you can totally get away with just using 1/4 cup. I know it's confusing the way I mentioned honey twice in the ingredients list. 🙂
Looks amazing
Thank youu for subscribing, Andrea! 🙂
Looks amazing
Lobe doing these recipes with my mother, something we enjoy time to time, and we truly enjoy the results 🙂 thank you
I am so happy to hear that, Robert. Comments like that put a happy smile on my face. 🙂
So great ! Just into the same life philosophy
Thanks
That's wonderful! Welcome to my site and hope you'll find many recipes you like!
Please can you do a cook book as I do not have a printer and I’m an older lady but love your recipes but too hard to write down.
Hi Catherine, I am afraid there will not be enough demand for my cookbook. 🙂
I just sent over an email and will try this also. Earlier this year I made a main dish recipe from your website that everyone loved, but now I can't find it. It is made with Italian sausage crumbles, shredded carrots, rice, and other ingredients.
Please send it to me.
Thank you
Hi Janet, is it this recipe by any chance:

I tried to sign up for the recipe box, but it didn't take - I can't find where to sign in. I'm already on the email list.
Hi Mary, try this one: https://juliasalbum.com/cilantro-lime-black-bean-rice/#list/my-favorites
