Monster Mash

Now that winter is approaching, I’ll be eating more and being an active member of society less… So, what better time than now to revive A Simple Dish?  We tend to bounce between a couple of different “diets” for lack of a better term. We often come back to the Vertical Diet, created by body-builder… Continue reading Monster Mash

Burrito Bowl Casserole

I don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed that this is the third taco inspired recipe in a row.  I think I have a serious taco problem.  I was originally going to call this taco casserole but doesn’t burrito bowl casserole have a much better ring to it? The chicken taco stuffed peppers… Continue reading Burrito Bowl Casserole

Fiesta Taco Chili

You know the great thing about a holiday weekend? Today is Monday, and it doesn’t suck.  All day today, I thought it was Sunday. This is partially because I worked on Saturday, so instead of three days off I have had two. But I’m cool with it because when I go back to work tomorrow,… Continue reading Fiesta Taco Chili

Pizza Meatballs

  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

Gluten Free Goulash

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

Taco Stuffed Peppers

I think that at some point, I should probably just go ahead and rename this blog Let’s Taco-bout it. For real. I don’t know where this obsession with everything taco flavored came from, but I am happy that it did.  My kitchen loves Mexican flavors and I just can’t stop.  Casseroles, tacos, enchiladas, STUFFED PEPPERS.… Continue reading Taco Stuffed Peppers

Mexican Quinoa Bowls

Today was a 360° meal prep day. If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry. It’s not a thing; I just made it up. This is my new term to describe a prep day where I go into it with one plan and then totally switch gears and have to make it up as… Continue reading Mexican Quinoa Bowls

Sloppy Joe’s

You know what's the worst? Admitting that all of my best recipes are the ones that my hubby suggested. Last week, the enchiladas were his idea, and they turned out so yummy. This week, he wanted sloppy joe's.  Is it sloppy Joe's or sloppy Joes.  Plural or possessive? Who can be sure. I probably won't… Continue reading Sloppy Joe’s

Shepherd’s Pie (did I spell that right?)

IT’S SO COLD. Winter is the worst. Seriously, the worst. It’s like they try to trick you into thinking it’s great because of the holidays and all, but really that’s just a couple of fun days of distraction in the midst of a whole bunch of nose-hairs-frozen-solid kind of days. I keep wondering if it… Continue reading Shepherd’s Pie (did I spell that right?)

Beef & Rice Stuffed Peppers

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
