I am the worst at getting up in the morning. I barely have time to take my dog for a quick walk, shower and run out the door. I stay in bed until the last possible second and then my breakfast suffers and therefore I suffer for the rest of the day. I’ve gotten into the habit…

Chicken Tikka Masala
This recipe is always a hit- even with people who think they don’t like Indian food. Luckily, everyone in my house loves it! This recipe is really simple and just requires some prep the night before or right when you get home from work. I love to pair it with some sautéed broccoli and cilantro…
Lunch Ideas- Jaqi’s Fat Salad
My husband and I do a lot of meal prep on the weekends to cut down what we have to do during the week. We usually have a “cooking party” on Sunday afternoons in the kitchen- getting breakfast and lunches ready (as much as we can) for the week. This week, “Jaqi’s Fat Salad” was…
Moroccan Meatballs
This recipe was VERY labor intensive. Whoever wrote this book and said the prep was 15 minutes is a big liar. If I had an assembly line, I’d might be able to get it done in that time (or maybe if the permanent roommate was home to help me out), but it probably took me…
Beef Stir Fry
This recipe turned out great and was a hit in the house for dinner tonight. We’ve done impromptu stir-fries before, but never used a recipe- just thrown things together. The only thing I would change in the future is to season the beef beforehand to give it a little more depth of flavor. I would…
Butternut Squash Soup
Have I talked about how much I love my slow cooker? I love my slow cooker. I throw ingredients in it in the morning, or even the night before, turn it on and walk out the door! When I come home from work, I only have to assemble a side dish or sometimes nothing at all. I…
Spaghetti Squash
If you’ve never made spaghetti squash, you need to try it. It’s a super easy alternative to spaghetti. However, I have to warn you- in no way will this taste like or mimic the texture of pasta. If anyone is trying to sell you that spaghetti squash can 100% replace pasta, they’re lying to you…
Raspberry Overnight Oats
I’ve been having a real problem the past couple of years with breakfast. My whole life, I’ve never really had a good, healthy breakfast (except on the weekends) and I feel like it’s really critical to start out my day. Especially because most mornings, I wake up hungry. I try to listen to my body…
Easter Brunch: Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Strata
I’ve never been a big fan of egg casseroles, stratas, frittatas… I just personally like my eggs and meat separate- I feel like the flavor of the meat permeates through the egg and all the layers of cheese and everything. If you don’t like the taste of eggs- then that’d be good for you. I,…
Gluten Free Pizza Crust
Who doesn’t love pizza? I love pizza. That gooey cheese and that delicious tomato sauce all on top of that soft, yet crisp crust. Ever since me and my husband went gluten free, we have struggled finding a really great pizza crust recipe. We’ve tried pre-mixes, frozen dough, making our own. There’s always something not quite…
General Tso’s Chicken
Eating healthy doesn’t mean you can’t have your favorite foods. My husband LOVES Chinese food. I’m not such a fan- God knows what the ingredients are… and don’t you think it’s weird that you’re full one minute, then the next you can go back and eat what’s left in your takeout container? Some kind of…
