Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
I think we all know what’s important in life. Food that you can melt cheese on top of. Tonight, I wanted a dinner that was simple, flavorful, and didn’t require a lot of effort on my part. Granted this took almost an hour to cook, prep was about 10 minutes tops. And the melty cheese part, well that’s a bonus. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Please leave me a comment below of what you thought! Ingredients: 4 small- medium sweet potatoes 2 lbs chicken breasts, thawed Herbed chicken seasoning 1 bag frozen riced broccoli (or separately mince/pulse broccoli in food processor) 4 tbsp shredded cheddar…

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…

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…

BBQ Pulled Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Summer = BBQ. I always eat too much BBQ and feel miserable afterward- who’s with me? So this combo of BBQ pulled chicken, sweet potato, and a little bit of sweet, heat, and cilantro hit the spot!

Sitting on the patio, a nice cold beverage in hand, a yummy side salad, and this makes the perfect summer meal! Enjoy! Ingredients: 1/2- 3/4 c From Scratch BBQ Sauce 4 medium chicken breasts, thawed 1 tsp sriracha (to taste) 1 tbsp chopped cilantro 4 small sweet potatoes, baked Directions: In a crockpot sprayed…

Quinoa Stuffed Mini Peppers
Easy. Simple. Delicious. An all-in-one appetizer, side to accompany dinner, or healthy afternoon snack. This was one of those “come together” moments.

Ingredients: 6-8 mini peppers 2 c steamed chopped kale 1 c cooked quinoa 1/4 c (extra) diced peppers & red onion Feta cheese, optional Directions: Cook quinoa according to package.

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Adam and Eve. Romeo and Juliet. Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Peanut butter and jelly. Buffalo chicken and sweet potatoes. Ok, so that last pair seemed questionable at first but I thought about all of the things I loved. Chicken. Buffalo wing sauce. Sweet potatoes. It HAD to be good. Well, turns out I have a new favorite way to stuff my sweet potatoes! Inspired by one of the lovely ladies in my current fitness and nutrition accountability group, I had to try my spin on these. So, you can do this one of two ways: Slow-cook the chicken in a little buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning or Bolthouse Farm’s Greek…
