I make a mixture of vegan and vegetarian recipes here along with meat ones. This is because we like to eat a variety of foods and there are many different diets here as my husband and I try to eat ‘healthy’ (a very broad term that we have defined for ourselves to basically mean less […]

Instant Pot Dill Pickle Potato Salad
There are a couple of things I am very spoiled with. First, I grew up with a mom that is an amazing cook. The other is because of who she was. I got to eat homemade potato salad far more than I had to eat that stuff in the deli of your local grocery store. […]

Instant Pot Winter Vegetable Soup Recipe
I got my Instant pot for Christmas. I am officially in the legion of Instant Pot lovers. It seems almost like some secret society that isn’t very secret that you join when you buy an Instant Pot and only then do you get it. I have to say, folks, the Instant Pot is changing […]
Instant Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
It’s still in the thick of soup season and although I know cream based soups are defiantly more full of calories than a broth variety, I love them. Sometimes, there is nothing better than a good hearty soup on a cold winter day. I bought an instant pot last year during Black Friday and I […]
Pumpkin Vinaigrette Dressing
I admit, I am not a huge pumpkin flavored “things” fan. I like the smell of pumpkin candles, but that’s about where it ends for me. It seems, though, that every year around this time, pumpkin stuff starts revving up and in an effort to relate to my fellow humans, I tried to come up […]
What is a Buddha Bowl + Buddha Bowl Recipes
Recently, I came across something interesting on Pinterest. It seems there is something called a Buddha Bowl. Now, from what I gather, this is not a new concept; I just happen to be late to the party. A Buddha Bowl is sometimes also called a Hippie Bowl and essentially what it is, is a […]

Chicken Cordon Bleu Pitas
Today’s delicious recipe is sponsored by #CoastalRangeOrganics. All opinions are my own. This time of year, it seems that I have a very limited supply of energy and time. As if it wasn’t like that normally for me, the holidays really seem to throw a wrench in that and to be honest, there is so […]

Instant Pot Vegan Lentil Sloppy Joes
Since my 16 year old stepdaughter decided at the end of the summer last year that she was going to go “full vegan” (she had toyed with it and been vegetarian for a little bit) I have been trying to figure out easy dishes she can make that that are of her favorite non-vegan […]
50 + Soup Recipes to Warm You Up
My husband refers to this season as “Soup season” and he gets very excited about it. I love to make soups at home and I have become somewhat of a soup snob as I very rarely use or buy canned soups. After learning how easy it ius to make soup at home and control […]

Low Fat Protein Rich Chicken Salad Sandwich Wraps #NewComfortFood
I have teenagers. Currently, just one lives here, yet it seems that with everyone’s schedule we rarely get a chance to have a family meal since we are all going different directions all at once. For me, this means any meals I do make when we happen to all be here have to […]
Steak and Rice Bowl with Veggies
Derrick is sharing a great hearty and healthy recipe today. I don’t know about you, but there is something special about meals served in a bowl. Maybe it’s the comforting warmth radiating through porcelain curvature. I’m not sure, but I know this, I love bowls. And our Steak & Veggies Rice Bowl is just about […]
Black Bean and Chicken Enchilada Cups with Chobani® Greek Yogurt Sauce
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #HolidayWithChobani #CollectiveBias The holidays are in full swing and that means you probably spend more time in the kitchen than at any other time of the year. The recipes are complicated, the food is indulgent and you have […]
Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup
I made chicken tortilla soup when I was in culinary arts school and although it quickly became a favorite, I have never been a huge fan of broth based soups since I am much more of a savory and creamy lover when it comes to soups. I decided that I needed to come up with […]
Slow Cooker Corn Chowder
My slow cooker and I are pretty much besties. I use it about once a week but wish I used it more. There is something just so wonderful about putting all ingredients in, setting it and coming back to a cooked meal several hours later. It’s a busy and frugal mom’s best friend. So when […]
Spicy Sriracha Cucumber Stir Fry #Veggetti
I first saw the Veggetti on Tv as a commercial and I thought, “Wow! This could be great for me since it allows me to make low carb pasta!” I was very grateful for the opportunity to review it and give one away! I decided I would get a little creative with my Veggetti and […]
Spicy Teriyaki Bowls
It wasn’t too long ago that I disliked spicy foods. I think this was just the picky kid in me that carried on into adulthood. I would turn my nose up to the idea of anything with any kick to it. I had sadly convinced myself that I didn’t like anything spicy. I am so […]
