Y’all! This has become one of my favorite meals! It is so fresh and flavorful! I love that it’s packed with goodness and leaves you feeling full. This salmon rice bowl is an excellent healthy dinner option. Roasted salmon, wild rice, brussel sprouts and beets - with flavor that packs a punch! If you’ve wanted to incorporate beets into your diet but have been a little scared, this recipe is a great way to sneak them in.
Read MoreI LOVE a good #easyfancy meal and this roasted pork loin and sweet potatoes with apple jus is just that!! This meal is great reheated, making it an excellent leftovers-for-lunch option! Plus it’s gluten free, nut free, poultry free, legume free and while not categories I usually write about - it’s also egg and dairy free, in case that matters to you!!
Read MoreA Simple and Sophisticated Appetizer
We had a very chill weekend celebrating my birthday, just hanging out around the apartment. We cooked risotto and steak, I beat Darrell in 3/3 rounds of Sequence, and we stayed up late to catch the latest episode of Big Brother! I whipped up this incredible appetizer in place of a birthday cake for my special treat and it was sheer perfection!
Read MoreAnother summer treat! This time, I wanted to give smores bars a try with gluten free graham crackers and my favorite gluten free flour! I added a little twist to the recipe which resulted in fluffier bars than expected but we’ll get to that. Check out my recap of this recipe modification.
Read MoreDoes cooking salmon intimidate you? I used to be very intimidated by the thought of cooking salmon. For the longest time, I would only prepare it in ways that could be baked in the oven. Growing up, I don’t remember us eating much salmon and I rarely recall us cooking fish on the stove so it was a big deal when I became more comfortable trying stovetop recipes. But it shouldn’t be intimidating because it’s simple! Here’s my easy recipe for fool-proof seared salmon!
Read MoreI love finding a new veggie side dish that’s easy and delicious because it makes me 10 times more likely to eat more veggies!! We recently tried this Summer Squash Casserole with a minor modification and it is definitely a dish we’ll be cooking again. Check out my recap for our experience with this recipe modification.
Read MoreA new recipe for you all!! And it’s a skillet meal! It feels like forever since I created a new dish and this is a fun one because you can really change it up to fit your family’s preferences! I was inspired by a ground turkey recipe my sister-in-law recently shared with me. Turkey is a no-go for us because of my husband’s poultry allergy but I liked the overall concept and was initally going to just swap out the ground turkey for beef and share another modification blog post about making a recipe work for your particular situation, BUT I ended up creating something entirely different and decided to write my own recipe to share with you guys!!
Read MoreWe went on a date tonight!! It’s so crazy to think that (with the exception of vacation) we haven’t gone to a restaurant or had a traditional date night in months. We decided to check out Pappardella this evening, since we had heard raving reviews.
Read MoreDoesn’t the taste of pineapple just transport you to somewhere warmer?? Well it does for me, anyway! Growing up, my mom would bake this pineapple chicken dish every once in a while and it was a favorite for everyone in the house! Darrell is allergic to poultry so I don’t cook mom’s pineapple chicken for us but we recently started experimenting with shrimp and pineapple!
