My husband asks for this dish at least every other week during the colder months of the year. It’s pretty easy for me to make, it’s super hearty and full of savory flavors. It also comes out relatively pretty-looking, if you’re trying to impress someone. This recipe needs no side dishes or anything extra. Serve…

Homemade Chicken Salad
This is THE BEST chicken salad recipe you will ever eat. I ate this for a solid 4 weeks before switching my lunch to something else. And I could still eat it tomorrow! I have never been a huge fan of chicken salad, egg salad- mayo creeps me out, to be honest. This recipe has…
Paleo Beef Stir Fry
I’m sure you guys have heard me say this one before- my husband loves Chinese food. Loves. Me- not so much. However, I find when I cook my own Chinese-style dishes, I really enjoy them much more. This dish was not an exception. I based my recipe off this one and was really surprised to…

Stuffed Chicken Parm
I’m 90% sure this meal was inspired by Tasty and I probably saw it on a Facebook video. I’m always looking for new ways to be creative with recipes I’ve eaten my whole life. My mom has always cooked very Italian, so we’ve always eaten a lot of chicken parm, pasta, etc. She even used…

They are super simple and I would definitely recommend you bring these to your annual cookie exchange instead of those boring…
Bacon-wrapped Pork Tenderloin
I make pork tenderloin quite a bit. It’s honestly not my favorite meat, but it’s relatively cheap and fairly quick to cook. I’ve been pairing it mostly with fruit sauces, but I wanted something a bit more savory. We had some extra bacon leftover from the weekend, so I quickly found a recipe incorporating that….
