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…
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…
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…
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…
Beef and Veggie Breakfast Scramble
This is another really great breakfast if you’re sick of eggs. I don’t love this recipe as much as I love my other breakfast recipe because I’m not a huge fan of zucchini, but if you like zucchini, then this might be a great option for you. I also got this recipe from Amy Meyer’s most…
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…
Fish Bake with Pineapples, Black Beans and Rice
This is a recipe my mom printed out from (I think) the Food Network website. I don’t tend to make a lot of recipes from them, but every now and then, there’s a hit. The picture does not give this recipe justice. It’s actually rather pretty in person the way the whole thing lays out….
Chipotle Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps with Avocado Aoli
How many times am I gonna tell you guys that I make easy recipes? First of all- avocado aoli??? That sounds fancy as all hell. Second of all- CHIPOTLE pulled pork? Who doesn’t love chipotle?? This recipe is super simple, takes no time at all, and packs a punch of flavor. This is a great…
Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
I am obsessed with caesar dressing. It is so creamy, peppery, zingy- really packs a punch. I’ve tried to make it on several occasions, but anchovies really gross me out (understatement). Not only that, but when you’re trying to lose weight or eat healthy, caesar dressing isn’t exactly your best option. I’ve played around with…
