Happy Monday! It’s the start of another week, which means it’s time for another menu. And it’s the start of a new year, which means a lot of us are making that annual attempt to eat a bit healthier. In that spirit I have a special guest menu for you today from Kalyn Denny of Kalyn’s Kitchen!

Kalyn and I talked about having her do a guest menu months ago but decided to wait until January to publish. Kalyn’s site is about carb-conscious eating and is a great resource for all kinds of special diets, including low-carb, South Beach, low-glycemic and more. We thought January would be the perfect time for her to share some dinner ideas! I met Kalyn nearly a decade ago. She was one of the first food bloggers I connected with in person as I began this journey and she’s been a wonderful support and friend ever since. Coincidentally I took a trip to her hometown last week and we even had the chance to meet for lunch. She’s one smart cookie and I am so happy she’s here on the blog today with a great dinner menu to inspire us!

Thank you, Kalyn, for all the great dinner ideas! As usual, can’t wait to see what everyone has cooking this week! Be sure to share your own dinner plans in the comments!

Food blogger Kalyn Denny had no idea how her life would change when she started a blog called Kalyn‘s Kitchen (http://www.kalynskitchen.com) to store the recipes all her friends were asking for.  That was in early 2005, and since then she has retired from teaching elementary school, became a full-time blogger, and now spends most days cooking, photographing the food, writing recipe posts, sharing on social media, and doing all the other things it takes to maintain a successful blog.  In addition to her main blog, Kalyn has a site called Slow Cooker from Scratch (http://www.slowcookerfromscratch.com) that features from-scratch slow cooker recipes from other bloggers.  She has appeared on panels talking about blogging at BlogHer, BlogHerFood, SXSW, and IACP Conferences. Kalyn lives in Utah, and is passionate about sushi, Scandinavian murder mysteries, gardening, cooking, photography, The Good Wife, Feta cheese, and her family, not necessarily in that order.
