Perfect Autumn Secret Ingredient Chili
As soon as those leaves start falling, I’m busting out the crockpot and whipping up chili. But the same chili recipe sometimes gets old and even this chili lovin’ momma needs to switch it up. My kiddos are decent with eating veggies but I try to pack them in wherever I can. I added two cups finely minced spinach to this crockpot as well as 1/2 cup of pumpkin too. Everyone loved it. I was pleasantly surprised with the reaction- not that I thought they wouldn’t like it, but with the sneaky nutrients I packed in there, there were no complaints! Here’s the recipe! Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground turkey…

Breakfast Quiche- Whole 30 Approved
When I started Whole 30 I thought, how am I going to make it through on scrambled eggs and grilled chicken. I need more variety in my life.

And I’m determined to get through these 30 days with no cheats. Day 19 & going strong. So I whipped up a yummy “breakfast” quiche, I say breakfast lightly because this has been my dinner twice this week, it’s so good. Sweet potato crust, ground turkey, and plenty of veggies. …

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…

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…
