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…

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…

Thai Coconut Curry Soup

I have made this 3 times already before posting this.  I absolutely love thai food- even if you have never had it, or aren’t sure you will like it: you will definitely love this recipe.  The depth of the flavor is absolutely ridiculous.  My whole family went nuts over this meal and I can’t wait…

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…

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…

Cauliflower Mash with Goat Cheese

Cauliflower mashed “potatoes” has been pretty hot for the past couple of years. I was never particularly a fan, but we jazzed it up a bit and I hope you guys try this recipe. It definitely doesn’t taste like mashed potatoes to me, but it definitely has the consistency. Put all different ingredients in it…

Gluten Free Goat Cheese Lasagna

This recipe is dedicated to my Mama and 100% hers. My mom is self-proclaimed lactose intolerant.  She has diagnosed her own dairy sensitivity.  That makes being an Italian and loving Italian food a little hard in our house, especially when it comes to staples like lasagna.  She actually found that she can tolerate goat cheese…

Gluten Free Spaetzle

My husband absolutely loves German food- it’s part of his heritage.  I also have a bit more than a drop of German in me, but I tend to gravitate more towards Italian foods.  However, since it is October, he felt we needed to be reminded of our German roots and we threw a little “German…

Roasted Carrots Gastrique

This recipe is totally and completely inspired by Matty Matheson from his Thanksgiving episode on YouTube.  If you’ve never heard of this guy, definitely check out my links.  He is absolutely hilarious and a great chef.  He’s just a real person, which I think makes him extremely likable.  He only has a few videos on YouTube…

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…

Paleo Pumpkin Chili

I’m as basic as they come.  Mid-September hits and it can be 80 degrees outside, but I can be found with my Pumpkin Spiced Latte, boots and sweater snuggled up with a book (sweating…).  Just like all the other basic white girls out there, I love fall.  I love the crisp air, beautiful fall leaves,…

Grilled, Stuffed Portobellos

This is a side you can really get creative with.  Portobellos are great building blocks if you are trying to avoid carbs- you can make mini pizzas!  Portobellos go great with almost any flavor, so feel free to try different combos.  You’ll figure out what you love the most and it’s a really easy staple…
