Making simple, easy meals. Life is complicated enough, why should our food be too?
Changing leaves, sweaters and boots, open window with a cool breeze, and soup on the stove, chili in the crockpot! There is only one thing that I don’t love about Fall – that it is followed by Winter. Seriously, how cruel is that? This amazing time of year comes and goes way too fast, so… Continue reading Stuffed Pepper Casserole
Do you ever have one of those weeks where it feels like everyone and everything are working against you? That’s the current feels. Right now, I’m knee deep in that week. But the good news is, I have really yummy tacos to look forward to when I get home from work! It’s the little things.… Continue reading Honey Lime Pork Tenderloin Tacos
This time, I did not forget to take pictures. I’ve been so excited to make this recipe again. There’s just something really delicious and comforting about a big bowl mixed with rice, protein and veggies. This meal comes together easy and keeps you full! The original recipe is for a food truck style dish that… Continue reading Street Cart Style Chicken & Rice { With a Twist }
There’s this recipe on Buzzfeed for a NY food truck style chicken & rice dish and I made it and it was so delicious. But I thought, hmm… it’s missing something. So, I remade it with a few twists and I was SO excited to share it with you all because it turned out so… Continue reading Beef & Rice Stuffed Peppers
As I sit here in Ankeny, surrounded by chain restaurants and fast food joints I can’t help but wish I was eating these spicy shredded beef tacos with a side of avocado lime dressing. This is my 3rd work trip in 3 weeks, and I have yet to master the whole “gluten free/paleo eating while… Continue reading Spicy Tacos with Avocado Lime Sauce
Every week I ask the hubby what he wants to eat next week, every week he responds with one of the following statements, “whatever you want to make,” OR, “meat and vegetables.” Thanks for the input, babe. So each week I am left to find a creative way to deliver meat and vegetables. For some… Continue reading Stew-Less Beef Stew
I have the most awful habit of not eating breakfast. I am not one of those “wake up at 6am, eat breakfast and do stuff” morning people. I am the “wake up 30 minutes before I have to be at work and scramble to remember my purse when I run out the door” people. This… Continue reading Vanilla Coconut Pancakes
The burger Gods are smiling down. I don’t know why I wasted so much time trying to cook burgers on the stove top. Seriously. Now, I know there’s people out there that think it’s a tragedy to cook a burger anywhere other than a grill. I understand that. I agree. There’s nothing like a juicy… Continue reading The Perfect Oven Baked Burger
When I first posted a photo of this recipe on Facebook, I called it “Coconut Crush Chicken Nuggets,” because “Coconut Flour Chicken Nuggets” just didn’t have the same excitement about it. And, I’m all about the marketing, you know? But, I realize now that Coconut Crush doesn’t really make sense. And it doesn’t mean anything.… Continue reading Coconut Chicken Nuggets
The best thing about zucchini is its versatility. Summer squash is in the same boat. They both taste so salty and delicious, they make great additions to any meal and excellent substitutes for noodles. My only complaint? Because there always has to be one…. TOO MUCH WATER! I absolutely hate that even if I sweat… Continue reading Summer Squash Goulash
