Making simple, easy meals. Life is complicated enough, why should our food be too?
Current obsession: all things meatballs. Don’t get the wrong idea. I still love tacos. That love is deep. But, lately I am all about the meatballs. Stuff some veggies into a meaty ball and dip it in delicious sauce. What’s not to love? Last week we had Thai Turkey Meatballs (so good!) and of… Continue reading Pizza Meatballs
Has there ever been anything as beautiful and wonderful as a sunny, 65°, spring day in Minnesota? I don’t think so. Meal prep was a real sacrifice today since it was a perfect day to be outside. Thankfully, I was done in time for us to take a quick walk around the neighborhood to… Continue reading Honey Chipotle BBQ Pulled Chicken with Creamy Broccoli Slaw
Bravo, husband. Bravo. Another fantastic suggestion that resulted in another delicious recipe. He really is the brains behind this operation, you know. I’ve been making a lot of stir fry lately, as you know and the thing about stir fry is that it is meat and vegetables, mixed with rice. Well, that’s a great… Continue reading Jambalaya/Gumbo
I really should make this blog more of a priority, I hate when I go weeks without posting. But I'm just so darn busy right now that all I can do is focus on the cooking. My weekend meal prep goals are to be done as quick as possible, so trying new recipes has gone pretty… Continue reading Pesto Prosciutto Pizza {Gluten Free}
Now that we are eating really clean, we gotta keep it interesting in the kitchen. Chicken and vegetables is definitely a weekly go to – but adding different flavors is important. The hubby is perfectly fine eating the same thing for weeks in a row, if he likes it. But not me… I need variety.… Continue reading Chicken Cacciatore over white rice
There is nothing better than a giant cup of coffee and Food Network on a Saturday morning! We’re short staffed at work, so I’ve been putting in a lot of extra hours and somehow, still not feeling any closer to being caught up! So, I’ve been spending Saturday mornings at my desk trying to catch… Continue reading Gluten Free Goulash
I know that global warming is a bad thing… I get it. But c’mon. There is nothing wrong with hiking outside in February, watching boats drive by on the river. The mud, I was less fond of – now I have to clean my combat boots. It was a chilly but beautiful afternoon for a… Continue reading Sheet Pan Dinner – Honey Garlic Chicken
Let me tell you about my current obsession. My current obsession (besides buying iphone cases that I don’t need) is one-pot rice meals. Holy crap. Why didn’t I think of this before? I have wasted so much time mixing things with rice after cooking it all separately! I looked at a recipe last weekend for… Continue reading One-Pot-Rice & Burrito Bowls!
You guys. Chipotle delivers to the Twin Cities. I recently discovered this, then forgot about it, then remembered again. This all came about because I was supposed to have a dinner date with a girlfriend last Friday then bring home something for the hubby, but then I woke up with the stupidest migraine ever and… Continue reading Crockpot Barbacoa Tacos
I was going to share another taco recipe in honor of today – you know, #tacotuesday. But I think I’m being a little bit of a one tricky pony over here, so I thought I better switch it up and post at least ONE non-taco recipe before I post more taco recipes. This one is… Continue reading Red Wine Beef Stew + Mashed Potatoes
