Twice Baked, Stuffed Potatoes
This is another Matty Matheson inspired recipe. Have you guys looked him up yet??! Anyway, they came out totally bangin’ and I can’t wait to make these again. They weren’t too labor-intensive, but they do take some time to cook, so definitely make sure you work that into your schedule Twice Baked, Stuffed Potatoes Ingredients:…
Pumpkin Energy Bites
Do I dare say that these were better than candy…? They were. I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not a huge fan of sweet desserts/bites, but these definitely hit all my taste buds exactly right. 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….
Butternut Squash Mash
This is a really great side dish and I was actually surprised with how this came out. I literally treated the butternut squash like it was potatoes and also added some of my favorite ingredients. I get tired of roasting the squash or having it in soup. Why not get a little creative? Butternut Squash…
Beet Fennel Juice
This juice came about totally randomly one afternoon. I had bought some beets and they were kind of sitting in the fridge. I had a bunch of meals planned and we never ended up using/needing the beets. I could have cooked them in the upcoming week, but I was afraid they were on the fringes…
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
This is another SUPER easy slow cooker recipe. And it’s packed with flavors. Why worry about coming home from work, maybe late and slave over the stove for an hour while you try to throw something together?? Simply throw all these ingredients in your slow cooker, set it, and FORGET IT! There are green beans…
Beef and Veggie Breakfast Scramble
This is another really great breakfast if you’re sick of eggs. I don’t love this recipe as much as I love my other breakfast recipe because I’m not a huge fan of zucchini, but if you like zucchini, then this might be a great option for you. I also got this recipe from Amy Meyer’s most…
Winter Squash Carbonara with Pancetta and Sage
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve grown out of the typical “spaghetti with tomato sauce” and I’ve tried to expand my options (not to mention that I get terrible heartburn for 2 days following consumption of any large amounts of tomato sauce). This is a really delicious, hearty pasta and completely different option if you’re looking…
Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut squash soup in a staple in the house come fall. Does anyone not make this?? It’s filling, delicious and relatively cheap. We like to make some gluten free garlic bread on the side to dip in while we’re enjoying- I recommend you do the same! This recipe makes a lot, so we usually freeze…
Cinnamon Apple Breakfast Sausages with Sweet Potato and Greens Breakfast Hash
I’m always looking for new things to eat for breakfast during the week that will be filling. It’s really hard to stray away from eggs. And I’ve done everything with eggs- egg muffins, slow cooker egg casseroles, egg pies, scrambled, over-easy… everything. Eggs get boring. But what else can you eat for breakfast if you’re…
Cucumbers in Tzatziki
You can make tzatziki and put it literally on anything. It’s great on sandwiches, on the side with veggies, or even used like a salad dressing. I used to love this sauce and make it all the time, but I kind of forgot about it. I made it again recently and fell in love all…
