Taco Stuffed Pepper Chips with Nacho Cheese
The September challenge for Blendtec ambassadors is dips, sauces, and salsas. I know you don’t care, but I do, and this month’s challenge is where the inspiration for this recipe came from! So thank you, Blendtec, for being amazing as usual. Something I didn’t know until I made this recipe is how perfect the “batter” […]
Simple Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
I thought about making this recipe for several months but I never got around to it. I guess I was thinking it would be boring or maybe not fantastically delicious. Now that I’ve made it, I am happy to report that this recipe is neither of those things! I am confident this recipe will be […]
Slow Cooker Shepherd’s Pie – 2 Ways
It’s September, so it’s time for alllllll the slow cooker recipes. That’s what September means to you too, right? Right. Do you watch that show This is Us? I watched the first season or two because I was still living with my mom at that point and she has cable. When Mike and I moved […]
Burger Bowls with Special Sauce
How was your fourth of July? Did you go anywhere or do anything or see anyone fun? Are we supposed to do any of the above in the days of the ‘rona? I’m not sure, but we definitely did all of the above. A little over two years ago my mom informed me that she […]
BBQ Bacon Meatballs with Sweet Potato Puree
If you’re a longtime follower of my blog, you are probably already aware of my obsession with meat in the shape of balls. I don’t know what it is about meatballs but they just do it for me. I love bringing them on day hikes because they’re a perfect little portable pop of protein right […]
BBQ Bacon Meatloaf
Hallelujah, it’s another meatloaf recipe! If you don’t know this about me by now, you should know that I absolutely adore meatballs and meatloaf. No clue why. It might be because my mother has been conditioning me for 30 years to love meatloaf. It’s what she serves me every year on my birthday so I’ve […]
Taco Meat
A very simple health swap to make is to ditch those packets of spices you see on the shelves of the grocery store that people buy to cut down on the time it takes to make things like gravies, soups, dips, and, yes, taco meat. I haven’t purchased store bought taco seasoning in probably about […]
Slow Cooker Sunday Sauce
I have visions in my head of having a kid or two, a house, and hosting Sunday dinner with my mom and Mike’s parents. Doesn’t it just sound so idyllic? To have your own and your whole family’s lives together enough to be able to host a nice dinner for 10 people every single Sunday […]
Cheeseburger Sliders
I am here to tell you once again that no cheese was harmed in the making of this recipe. But again, I just can’t bring myself to use quotations in the titles of my recipes. So if you are severely disappointed by the name of this recipe, I apologize. But give it a try! If […]
Spicy Southwest Breakfast Casserole
I haven’t really been into eating breakfast lately. And by breakfast I mean the meal that I eat at my desk at 4:00 pm. About 3ish years ago Mike told me about intermittent fasting and I’ve been doing it pretty steadily every since. Sometimes on the weekends I’ll eat a late breakfast if I want […]
