Making simple, easy meals. Life is complicated enough, why should our food be too?
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Meal prepping is hard and time consuming. But, it doesn’t have to be! I’ve been meal prepping one day a week for TWO YEARS now, without skipping a beat. When I first started meal prepping, I knew NOTHING about cooking. I knew nothing about food… Continue reading Southwest Steak Burrito Bowls + Weekly meal prep tip!
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
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 made a really simple chicken salad a few weeks ago with only like 5 ingredients – chicken, mayo, grapes, onions and celery (and salt/pepper – but those don’t count as ingredients!) and the husband really loved it. I decided to make another chicken salad because its so quick and easy! It’s a snap to… Continue reading Mandarin Chicken Salad
This is it. An absolutely perfectly flavorful and juicy ground beef skillet that actually makes me want to eat ground beef. The creaminess of the feta, with the tartness of the lemon juice and the saltiness of the olives make this a dish that I cannot wait to make again. I don’t know about you,… Continue reading Mediterranean Ground Beef Skillet
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
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
It is a gloomy, rainy Sunday here in Minnesota. There is something just so comforting about Crockpot meals on rainy days. Put the food in the pot, then sit back and relax with some TV while the crockpot does all the work! That’s my kind of meal prep day! Of course, I have other things… Continue reading Crockpot Pot Roast with Mashed Potatoes
It’s been a while since I posted, 24 days to be exact and I wish I could say I have been off exploring the world, or doing something super exciting. But I haven’t. I’ve been working. A lot. Like 6 days a week a lot. Working out, a little (3 – 4 times per week;… Continue reading Crockpot Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie (Kind Of)
