Chunky Chicken Tortilla Stew (Crockpot & Instant Pot)
You can’t spell Taco Tuesday without “YES” or “EAT”… And when my picky kids EAT chicken chili that’s loaded with veggies, it makes this momma say, “YES!” This can be done in the crockpot or in the Instant Pot- depending on what you have time for. Personally I fixed this in the slow cooker on a lazy Sunday and the house smelled amazing. I’ve included the Instant Pot directions below too. Ingredients: 3 medium/large chicken breasts, thawed 2 cans fire roasted tomatoes 1 can black beans, drained 1 can kidney beans, drained 1 c carrots, diced 1 c celery, diced 1 c frozen corn 1 c diced mini sweet peppers…

Summer Sweet Corn Chowder
Harvest is near. Driving home every day we’re surrounded by cornfields and bean fields. I can see them starting to change. Corn stalks turning brown. Bean leaves yellowing after a summer of repeated rain and midwestern sun beating down. And my heart leaps a little bit because it means my favorite season is approaching. One of my favorite things about fall is food. Okay, I lied. I like food in every season. But I LOVE fall food. Crockpots. Instapots. Chili simmering on the stove. Football season food. The smells of cinnamon and nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice. I’m drooling just typing this. With summer is drawing to a close,…

Superfood Chicken Chili (crockpot)

Italian Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash- Low Carb
Oh sweet baby lord in heaven… I wish the internet had smell-o-vision… this might just be at the top of things I’ve whipped up that I could eat every day and never get tired of it. Autumn has set in and that means all things squash. I’m like Bubba Gump. Squash salad, squash pancakes, squash cheesecake, squash chili, stuffed squash. And as I was running out the door today to pick up a spaghetti squash for tonight’s dinner, I realized I needed to do something with it- so I tossed a few chicken breasts in the crockpot, added some marinara and tomatoes, seasonings, and finished it off looking like this…

Bell Pepper Nachos- Low Carb
There comes a time in life where you must make a decision. Are you going to celebrate Taco Tuesday with amazing flavor and flair… or are you going to let it pass you by? For us, Taco Tuesday is a regular occurrence each week, and don’t get me wrong- we never get tired of tacos, but sometimes we like a little variety in what we eat every Tuesday. And occasionally we switch up our nutrition routine and do a little low-carb here and there depending on our goals and results we’re working toward. This week was one of those weeks. This gal could live on chips and salsa alone…

Honey Balsamic Chicken Stir-Fry
Tonight’s dinner took 10 minutes start to finish. 1-2 minutes to chop chicken and veggies (we grill a bunch of chicken on Sunday for meal prep during the week). 7 minutes to cook it all in the skillet. 1 minute to plate and serve! ***Cauliflower rice is such a healthy alternative especially if you’re gluten free or following a low carb plan. You can’t even tell the difference! My husband loved it and he doesn’t eat cauliflower! For the Stir Fry: 2 c chopped chicken (grilled it yesterday- we use it for meal prep!) 1 pkg frozen riced cauliflower 1 large red bell pepper- diced 2 c…
