Pumpkin Turkey Chili
Pumpkin and turkey go together like peanut butter and jelly. And we all know pumpkin and fall go together even better. Long story short, this is the perfect recipe for fall! What a fitting recipe for the changing seasons. Sure, the first day of fall this year is supposed to hit 88 degrees where I […]
Cheesy Bacon Bisque
NO CHEESE WAS HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS SOUP. That is to say, you won’t find any cheese (or even any dairy products at all) in this recipe. Okay, I’m really glad I got that off my chest. I considered putting quotation marks around the word “Cheesy,” so as not to mislead anybody, but […]
“Lime in the Coconut” Energy Balls
I remember giving a presentation once in my managerial communications class in college. I started with a quote from the textbook: “Change is the only constant in the business world today.” I have a bit of an odd memory and even though I took that class nine years ago (gulp) I still remember that quote […]
Mini Meatball and Spaghetti Bake
Oh look, another meatball recipe. Are you surprised? Because you shouldn’t be. In all fairness I DID warn you about my unusual meatball obsession. This recipe was inspired by Lady and the Tramp. The other day I was on Facebook and the trailer for the live action Lady and the Tramp movie started playing. Of […]
Simple Sauteed Kale
Every healthy home cook should have a tried and true recipe for sauteed greens in her repertoire and that’s a fact. Kale intimidated me for a long time. I’m not sure if I thought it was going to be hard to cook or if I thought I wouldn’t like the taste of it or what. […]
Chicken (Meatball) and Rice Soup
A funny thing happened when I started writing this recipe. My only goal was to write a Whole30 version of the standard (albeit somewhat boring) chicken and rice soup. But then my creativity got the better of me. My creativity coupled with my never-ending meatball obsession. If you don’t know by now, I think it’s […]
Peach Milkshake
With fall fast approaching, we have found ourselves at the tail end of stone fruit season. It’s bittersweet, at least for me, because while I absolutely LOVE fall (eternally basic) I really enjoy peaches and nectarines too. There’s just something about standing over your kitchen sink (people don’t honestly eat these fruits anywhere else, right?) […]
Cinnamon Honey Butter
I made this recipe with the realistic belief that I would eat it as a condiment. You know, sparingly. Not four servings at a time. Not plain by itself. We can all dream, I guess, but really I suppose I should know myself better than that by now. I think we all know what chain […]
Paleo Sheet Pan Pumpkin Pancakes
Well that’s a mouthful! I fully realize that I am walking a VERY fine line with these pancakes. At what point are these technically not a breakfast item, but instead a dessert? I think I’m there, but I refuse to believe that I can’t eat these for breakfast. So I’ll just carry on eating these […]
Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad
Runner’s high is a real thing and it is an AWESOME feeling. It’s funny. A few years ago I picked up running because I thought it would make me a better hiker. It did make me a better hiker. I hated running for a little while, and it’s still not my favorite workout to date, […]
