It also comes out relatively pretty-looking, if you’re trying to impress someone. This recipe needs no side dishes or anything extra. Serve…

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…

This is a dish my mom has been making for years and has been passed on to me- and now all of you. It’s one of my favorite things she makes. It is simply indescribable. Nothing I have ever made tastes like this. It is absolutely my favorite soup. You’ll have to try it out…
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…

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.

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…
