Does anyone not love Mexican food?? Refried beans, cheese, avocados- what’s not to love?? We don’t make a lot of Mexican-style food at home and I really don’t know why. It hits my taste buds in all the right places. This was the first enchilada style dish I’ve ever tried to make and I made…

Crock Pot Chicken and Sausage with Spaghetti Squash
I’m going to make this recipe again next week and I seriously can’t wait. I was really surprised how well this came out. I don’t think I’ve ever had better sausages in my life— and that’s sayin’ something. Not to mention, this is probably the easiest crock pot recipe I have ever made- no mixing,…
Spinach Paprika Chicken
This recipe was relatively simple and took almost no time to prep and cook- about half an hour. Totally doable after a long day at work. Having one of your veg as spinach is a real time saver as it quickly wilts in the pan. Pair with a grain or another veg of your choice…
Crock Pot Butter Chicken
Nothing is better than making some butter chicken fresh. However, if you have a busy schedule like I do most of the time, you don’t have 30 minutes to an hour dedicated to cooking once you come home from work if you want to eat at a reasonable hour. This recipe came out better than…
Crock Pot Chicken Musakhan
Every now and then, I get a craving for a certain type of food. Lately, it’s been greek-style food. Not sure why or where it came from, but that’s what I’ve been craving. So expect to see some greek-inspired meals in the upcoming posts! This dish was great because I could throw the chicken in…
Coconut Lime Skillet Chicken
The flavors in this recipe will definitely knock you out of the park. They remind me of the flavors in my Thai Coconut Curry Soup– mainly because they share many of the same ingredients. This meal is really quick to take- 3o minutes or less- which makes it a great meal to make when you…
Sun Dried Tomato, Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken
This recipe is delicious. Melt in your mouth amazingness. I would make this recipe again in 2 seconds- it’s super simple, looks relatively impressive and tastes magnificent. Pair with some asparagus, quinoa (recipe coming up for that) and you have a full dinner! Easy to prepare ahead and serve to some guests. I based my…
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…
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…
Chicken and Dumpling Soup- Gluten Free!
One of my favorite recipes growing up as a kid was chicken and dumpling soup. I tried this recipe for the first time around this time last year. I made everything from scratch and I never had better chicken soup in my life. I definitely suggest you do the same. This might take you a…
Simple Roast Chicken
Roasting a chicken does not take a long time and the meat can last you for quite a few days. Not only that, but you can make stock from the bones and leftovers. You can really get a lot from your money if you roast your own. You can also be creative and try different…
One Pan Chicken Dinner
Hate coming home from work, having to cook and then clean up? This recipe and these kinds of recipes completely take away all the cleanup for you, as everything is cooked in one pan- meat, veggies… everything. The vegetables come out roasted while the meat is juicy and delicious. Whoever thought of this should win…
