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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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, […]
Prosciutto Egg Cups
I realize I’m not exactly reinventing the wheel with these egg cups. I get it you guys, okay? But I happen to love MY version, which is why I wanted to share them for the world to see today! Good golly my food photography needs a little love. Sadly that aspect of this blog happens […]
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 […]
