Experimenting with some new Game Day dishes. Bacon Wrapped Cajun Shrimp Jalapeño Poppers. They were so delicious! If you’d like a hotter popper, you can keep the seeds in. For a sweeter option, try it with bell peppers. 6 large Jalapenos 12 Bacon Strips 12 Medium Shrimp; peeled and deveined ½ teaspoon Cajun Seasoning MixContinue […]

I spent all day yesterday making food deliveries and the one spot they kept sending me to was Taco Bell. By the end of the night I really wanted a Taco Supreme, but there’s no way in heck I’m spending $2.50 on a single taco. 40¢ is much more up my alley! Texture is aContinue […]
Breakfast this morning was delicious! Next time I’ll coat the berries with flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom. It was still really tasty! There was a deep crack on the top so I filled it with some lemon cream cheese frosting. The joys of experimenting with new gluten free recipes. 1 ½Continue […]
Day 32 of my #PantryChallenge Still feeling pretty crummy, so dinner isn’t pretty but it’s quick and tasty. I needed to use up the rest of the chicken thighs from the other night and I was craving vitamin C. Turned out pretty darn tasty for winging it! Served with Creamy Zucchini & Sweet Potato Orzo.Continue […]
First time I’ve made crab cakes and I’m definitely making them again! The meat was a bit spendy because I didn’t want to use Krab, but it was worth it. I tried a new way of preparing French fries and its my new go to! 1 lb Cooked Dungeness Crab Meat ½ cup Breadcrumbs 2Continue […]
This really hit the spot tonight! The addition of bacon was spot on and added a little smokiness to the filling (along with the smoked paprika). I’m going to be making these with Italian sausage next time and I’m really excited! 6 oz. Jumbo Shells (about 20 shells) 24 oz. Marinara Sauce 1 ½ cupsContinue […]
I love Taco Pizza! You can substitute the refried beans for enchilada sauce, but I prefer the creaminess of the beans. It’s by far one of my favorite pizzas! Preheating the pizza stone is key for a crispy crust that’s fluffy on the inside. Be sure to sprinkle corn meal to keep it from stickingContinue […]
Day 23 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge Switched things up a bit. I noticed a significant difference in my energy level, attitude and weight over the last month. While I had frozen vegetables on hand as well as cabbage, beets, carrots, etc. my body craved fresh, crisp greens. It just goes to show just howContinue […]

Spaghetti Bolognese, Copycat Panda Express Chow Mein and this! Leftover Chicken Parm Spaghetti Bake 4 cups leftover Spaghetti 1 ½ cups Bolognese Sauce 1 cup fresh SpinachContinue […]
I wanted to make an Italian chicken dish that didn’t have much dairy in it. This really hit the spot! I made cinnamon candied carrots, sautéed mushrooms and green beans to go with it. I got a thumbs up for dinner! Chicken: 5 large Bone-In Skin-On Chicken Thighs 1 stick Butter; softened ⅔ teaspoon DriedContinue […]
I made Mango Salsa Herb Pork Tenderloin for dinner! The fusion of Mexican and Italian is surprisingly amazing! It’s so simple to make and went really well with the Steamed Rice and Roasted Zucchini. Despite the reputation pork has for being a fatty protein, the tenderloin actually has less calories than chicken breast. Tenderloin: 3Continue […]
Ground turkey was the only defrosted meat I had in my fridge and I didn’t want to make the same old thing. I had everything needed to make this hearty and delicious soup, plus it came together in under an hour. It makes quite a bit but don’t worry, it’s even tastier the next day!Continue […]
This is my go-to baked Sweet Potato recipe! Adding the cornstarch will give the fries a bit more crispiness. The nuttiness of the parmesan and the herbaceousness of the Italian seasoning make for a delicious side dish for burgers and sandwiches. 2 large Sweet Potatoes; cut into fries 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 3 Tablespoons Olive OilContinue […]
