Shrimp Tacos

I had this crazy idea that I wanted to claim one day every week as ‘taco day’ and we would have a different type of taco on this day. I know I’m late to the game on this since Taco Tuesday has notorious been a thing for years, but I wanted different tacos each week….

Smoothie Bowls

To say we love our bowls, is an understatement. I’ve been making my own versions of acai bowls for years. I think I actually think I can date it back to 2016. Not saying that I liked them before they were cool, but I definitely remember having conversations about these ‘bowls’ and people have zero…

Greek Style Chicken & Veggies

It took me a few minutes to come up with a title for this recipe. I knew I wanted Greek in the title, but I hated the word ‘sheet pan’, even though this is a sheet an meal. There is nothing delicious about the word ‘sheet pan’, unless you count the fact that clean up…

Pumpkin Risotto

Pumpkin, although an autumn favorite, is timeless to me. If you find a good canned pumpkin and stock up (such as my favorite trader joe’s organic canned pumpkin) you can enjoy pumpkin recipes all year long. If you read through my recipes, you know how much I love my dutch oven. This recipe uses the…

Bolognese sauce (dairy free)

We’ve had great weather this summer so far, but occasional rain still comes our way. We welcomed this past rainy day because it meant a day of rest. Does anyone else view rainy days as their own little *surprise* day of rest? Anyway, I cooked up this sauce in the morning with my 3-year-old, who…

Zucchini Cookies

  What is more comforting than a cookie fresh from the oven? A guiltless cookie I might add…?? Nothing. It’s perfection. I’ve joked before about absolutely delicious recipes call for a quick rush to the computer to write them out. Although my life doesn’t always warrant for that kind of time, I did find time to…

Jambalaya

Family friendly jambalaya I might add. My husband and I typically like a little kick-which this recipe can be altered for…but for the whole family, we stuck with no spice. I tried to push myself a bit with this recipe. Some ingredients I have in my pantry all the time, while others not so much….

Instant Pot Chicken Soup

Nothing screams comfort like chicken soup. When I’m sick, cold, sad, or just feel like it’s a soup day…not just any soup will do, chicken soup is the key. I love this chicken soup recipe because it tastes like it’s been cooking all day, simmering away on the stove fill the house full of comfort…

Salmon Salad with Lemon Dill Dressing

FRESH. Sometimes, even if it’s not summer, I need a summer meal. Anyone else? One goal I have had this year is to incorporate more fish into our diet. Salmon is one of the best options, especially wild caught. My one year old, two year old, my husband, and I can all agree that we…

Ranch Chicken Skillet

I’ve never been one of those people who love condiments. With condiments being a hidden trap for massive amounts of sugar, high fructose corn syrup, dyes, fats, or other deceptive food modifications, I will usually spend a decent amount of time reading labels before I take home a dressing from the grocery store. Of course,…
