Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry – Whole 30 Approved
Me on Whole 30: What else can I cook that’s going to be amazing! THIS! This was my first time with cauliflower rice. I didn’t know what to expect. I assumed it wouldn’t taste as amazing as it did and I’m happy to be proven wrong! And when my husband tries this and says- I’d eat that- I know it’s a success! Let me know what you think! Ingredients: 1 head of cauliflower, riced (aka, grate the florets over a grater that you would use for a block of cheese) 1 c chopped carrots 1 medium red/yellow pepper or 4-5 mini peppers, diced 3 tbsp diced onion 1/2-3/4 c chopped…

Iron Skillet Chicken- Oven Roasted
Winner winner, Sunday chicken dinner. Everyone needs their go-to Sunday dinner. When the in-laws are coming over. When you don’t want to prep in the kitchen all day. When you can one-and-done it. And this is my new go-to. It’s aromatic. It’s crispy. It’s juicy. It’s pure heaven. There’s something beautiful about roasting a whole chicken. It makes for so many meals and bone broth too. And there’s something even more beautiful about cooking it in an iron skillet. Where the chicken cooks in those juices and soaks up every last ounce of flavor. It roasts perfectly. The skin crisps up. The flavor is so good. And the skillet…

Whole 30 Nachos- The Game Changer
Halfway through Whole 30 and all I can think about is nachos. And husband made a pizza for the girls. And Bon Jovi is playing in my head… “Woahhhh! We’re halfway there. Woahhh livin’ on a prayer…” Halfway. Day 15. But who’s counting. Admittedly I do feel pretty great. I’ve moved past the tired and sluggish stage into “Hell yeah I can do this!” It’s only 30 days, right? We can do anything for 30 days. But some days we just need nachos. So I whipped these up and they totally did it for me. The crunch. The guac. The ground “taco” turkey. It was heaven. …

Embarking on the Whole 30 Journey… With Breakfast Hash
Hello 2017! Hello “New Year, New Me”. I vowed I wasn’t going to overhaul my life this year. I wasn’t going to make a “big change”. I like the ME that I am. I don’t need a new “me”. So, I decided that I was going to pick a few things to improve where I needed to and focus on having more fun. Living a little bit more. Take more trips. Love harder. Laugh more. Give my kids so many snuggles that by 2018 they were sick of me! And be a really good wife. You know, one that doesn’t complain about the trash not being taken out, because…

Butternut Squash Chicken Stew (Crockpot)
Once that cold air hits and I’m in leggings, boots, and a scarf most days, my cooking shifts to stewy-type meals. As a momma, I struggle with things that the kids will eat that are flavorful but don’t compromise our healthy eating too. So I came up with this yummy butternut squash chicken stew and needless to say, everyone was happy. Nothing like a bowl of hot soup on a cold fall evening! Ingredients: 1 Medium Butternut Squash, peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes 3 medium chicken breasts, thawed 2 cups organic vegetable (or chicken) broth 1 medium red pepper, diced 3/4 c frozen corn 1 tsp…

Turkey Pumpkin Chili
Sweet & Savory Turkey Pumpkin Chili I don’t know if I’m the only one who cooks like this, but I’ll start thinking up a recipe a week or so before I make it. I literally let it simmer in my brain. I think of things I want to add to it, how I want it to taste, what the texture and consistency should be. Then I get hangry. I start with the mouthwatering, drooling stuff. And I know I have to make it. Today I intended to make a chicken butternut squash soup in the crockpot but life got in the way and was saving this chili for the weekend…

Taco Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Fall is here. So much squash. We have been given large amounts of squash several times in the past few weeks and we’re up to our ears in squash. Fortunately my kids eat spaghetti & meatballs with spaghetti squash (not always, but we made it work the other night). But I needed something to do with the rest of the spaghetti squash and I thought I’d take my ground turkey, a little salsa, stuff it and bake it. And it was everything I dreamed it would be and more! My husband approved. He’s not a squash eater by any means so it wasn’t easy to come up with something…

Best Fish Tacos Ever
My dad is a carnivore. He is the grillmaster. The king of BBQ. Definitely a meat and potatoes type of guy. I think of Ron Swanson from Parks & Rec when I think of my dad! Anyway, my parents came for dinner the other night and my dad asked that I make my delicious fish tacos and it blew me away. Really?! Fish tacos? So I upped my game, added a little bolder flavor and flair and whipped up these bad boys and sure enough he loved them! So I had to share them with all of you. I added a cilantro lime slaw and fresh guacamole (something…
