I was surprised how well this recipe turned out and plan on making it again soon. This recipe utilized ground turkey, which is great if you are trying to eat more lean meat. It also incorporates a lot of veggies on the inside, which I love. As you can see- we had broccoli and mac…

Harvest Linguine
Does anyone not love pasta? Well, I love pasta and I’m always looking for new things to do to it. Even though homemade sauce and meatballs/sausage can never get boring, I wanted to incorporate some more veggies and seasonal ingredients into a pasta dish. In comes this harvest linguine recipe I picked up off a…
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Stuffed bell peppers are always a great option. You can even make them ahead the night before, then pop them in the oven. Stuffed bell peppers is one of those recipes I kind of forget about- not sure why- but then I make it again and realize I need to make it more often. You…
Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Maple-Glazed Apples
Pork tenderloin is one of my favorite meats to work with because it makes quick and easy meals after a long day of work that seem decadent. Once you sear the pork, it only takes a little more time in the oven. You can also do a lot of things with pork tenderloin whether you…
Crock Pot Chili with Quinoa and Sweet Potatoes
I’m all about my crock pot. If I could marry it, I would. It saves me so much time when I get home from work. If you don’t have one, ask for one for Christmas. You need one. This recipe was a little hot! I’m not a big fan of spicy, but this was definitely…
Sausage and Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash
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…
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…
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…
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…
Kibbeh Sinayee
Kibbeh Sin-what? Pretty much a fancy way of saying Shepherd’s Pie made from lamb. Don’t let the name scare you- this dish is delish. It’s pretty fancy and a little complicated, but I don’t think you guys’ll have too much trouble with this one. Pair this with the leftover cauliflower and make a mash and/or…
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…
