Turkey Meatballs

In my ever ending quest to make healthy food affordable, I’ve fallen in love with ground turkey. Without babbling on about the health benefits of ground turkey and harms of red meat, you’ll just have to take my word for it…poultry is a much healthier alternative.  These little meatballs are super versatile as I’ve added…

Butternut Squash Soup

Fall time in the kitchen is my absolute favorite. I love living in New York where I get to experience all four seasons, however, fall is a crisp breath of fresh air that I welcome with open arms each year. Root vegetables and squashes are found in almost every meal I serve this time of…

Meal Prep 101

Meal prep took on a whole new meaning when everything I was eating had to be prepared. When you choose this lifestyle, you give up the convenience of opening up the cupboard and tossing something in the microwave or oven and BAM! have a dinner. Sundays became my saving grace. I tend to do my…

Zack’s Soup

I had a hard time naming this recipe because it contains beef, noodles, tomatoes, vegetables, and the perfect combination of spices. I had one name for it but a friend of mine loved it so much, we decided to change the name to “Zack’s Soup”. I absolutely love pasta and sauce, but finding a gluten…

Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Bowls

As the weather gets a bit cooler, I still hang on to grilling season.

Chicken Fajita Bowl

Mexican is a favorite in our household! Mexican can be deliciously healthy if you keep to lots of vegetables and meat flavored with spices and lime to brighten everything up. Not only is this a dinner we look forward to, but we always have leftovers for lunches.  Between the beans, rice, chicken, and vegetables, you…

Brunch with Friends

Sundays were made for two things: Fellowship with others through Christ  and brunch. I had the pleasure of hosting brunch with dear friends that ended up fulfilling both of today’s purposes. To make things easier, I prepared a few things in advance so that I wouldn’t stress the morning of. I have also included a…

Quinoa and Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers never excited me until recently. I usually found them bland and boring. I also didn’t like having my entire meal inside a pepper. It just didn’t fly. However, I was inspired one morning while watching a cooking show and I decided to give them a try. For the first time, I was going…
