Making simple, easy meals. Life is complicated enough, why should our food be too?
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
Have you tried the new grain bowls at Panera? I did, and it was delightful. I tried the Mediterranean Bowl w/ Chicken. It was so good that I feel like I could literally eat it for every. single. meal. But, that would get quite expensive so I decided to make my own grain bowl! Take… Continue reading Mediterranean Grain Bowl with Turmeric Rice
If you like the sound of a simple, fresh and fast weeknight dinner meal and you like bell peppers then this one is for you! (Sorry mom, I know how you feel about bell peppers!) Although, the beauty of this meal is it is so stinking easy! You could literally swap any flavor of chicken… Continue reading Simple. Fresh. Fast
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
Oh hey, how’s it going? Remember me? My first blog post since May. Wow. I can’t believe that time flew by so fast. Sorry for such a long hiatus. It’s been an interesting couple of months filled with really high highs, and very low lows. It has been a stressful time, but I am now… Continue reading Chicken Taco Stuffed Peppers
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
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!
We love burritos. We love Chipotle, we love Burrito Loco. I have successfully made a burrito bowl meal that is comparable to our favorite Mexican joints. My husband is a burrito connoisseur. He eats Chipotle more times per week than I should admit. When he got home from work the night I made these burrito… Continue reading Burrito Bowls
If this is your first time reading, you may not know that I meal prep. Every Sunday. No excuses. What you would notice by reading back through the weekly posts, is that I often make the same thing multiple weeks in a row. This is partly because I like foods that are easy to make… Continue reading { SPECIAL POST } Today’s Meal Prep – ALL Recipes Included!
I’m baaaack! Have you guys missed me? I have missed you! But the good news is – I have been BUSY. Busy cooking and creating new recipes for you! I did this week’s meal prep a little bit differently, spreading the cooking out over a couple of days instead of doing it all on Sunday.… Continue reading Chicken Sausage Gumbo
