Meal Prep Buffalo Chicken Balance Bowls
Yeah yeah yeah. The title of this recipe is unnecessarily long. But it just be like that sometimes, you know? Does the term “balance bowl” irritate you? Does it sound pretentious? I’ll tell you what it means to me. Protein, fat, carbs, green vegetable. All up in one happy little healthy bowl. That’s it! In […]
Chicken Bacon Ranch Meatloaf
I LOVE meatloaf. Always have. Since TODAY is my 30th birthday, I found it fitting to post a meatloaf recipe and here’s why. My mom always cooks me a birthday dinner. For the past 15 years, that birthday dinner has always been one of two things. The first option is meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The […]
Lazy Joe Sliders
The night that I tested this recipe for the first time Mike had offered to buy me dinner earlier in the evening. He left our apartment around 3:00 pm, headlamp in hand, to go for a long run on the rail trail about a half hour away from where we live. I knew it would […]
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 […]
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 […]
Buffalo Ranch Chicken Tenders
I love this time of year! When I was in school, late August always excited me because I simply couldn’t wait to go back to school. Fresh notebooks, new pencils, new clothes, a fresh start on a brand new school year. I loved it all, from grade school all the way through college. Not to […]
Garlic Chicken and Green Beans Sheet Pan Dinner
“Prior planning prevents piss poor performance.” – A very, very wise woman. I know for a fact that a woman stated this first. Do you know how I know? Because guys can’t plan for sh*t. Sorry guys, but it’s the truth. You just can’t. Where am I going with this? I’m extremely excited to report […]
Pizza Stuffed Zucchini Boats
So, I fully realize this is only my…ninth recipe post. But it is freaking DELICIOUS and therefore it’s my favorite. You can pick a favorite out of a group of nine things, right? Do parents have favorite children when they only have two or three? I think so. My mom has a favorite. It’s me, […]
Summer Pasta
I have this absolutely wonderful friend named Summer Rain and she’s the reason that this blog exists. We live in the same town and share a lot of the same interests, including hiking. When we both have a few spare hours we will meet up and go for a local hike. Although, around here, we […]
French Onion Meatballs
The Caramelized Onion obsession lives on! As promised, I am here with my second new recipe of the week utilizing my Caramelized Onions. Even though I happen to eat these little delicacies straight out of the pan (I try my best to let them cool off just a little bit first), I didn’t want to […]
