Goat Cheese & Roasted Red Pepper Turkey Burgers

salmon salad

This easy salmon salad is as easy as it sounds. Gather your ingredients and boom lunch (or any meal/snack really) is served! I need an easy lunch, otherwise, it’s likely that I will skip it, scrounge for snacks or do a little bit of both. It seems that many struggle with lunch as well because […]

Easy Salmon Salad

swedish meatballs

Happy Tuesday, bring on the Swedish meatballs! Comfort food is a must in these freezing cold temperatures. Isn’t it crazy how 20 degrees can feel “warm” this time of year? Well, “warm” is relative, really it just means my hands take longer to turn into ice cubes than when the temperature is -20. Our heat […]

Swedish Meatballs (Gluten & Dairy Free)

Holy cold weather, am I right? I can’t remember the last day it was above 25 degrees and I’m {mostly} over it. I have a love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with winter. Just ask my family… The only perk of cold weather is a plethora of comfy blankets, sweatshirts (my latest obsession that was a gift […]

Sassy Breakfast Time Ever find you are making excuses for not eating breakfast? I know I do. The day starts like a bat outta hell and all of a sudden its 11 am, you’re starving and you realize you are jittery because you’ve had 4 cups of coffee and no food. Is it just me? […]

Easy Chocolate Overnight Oats

whole roasted chicken

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Most people I know have made a whole turkey or at least have family members who have prepared them a turkey. However, when a whole chicken is involved most people have not made it themselves. Some people will pick up a rotisserie chicken already prepared but they don’t make it themselves. […]

Whole Roasted Chicken with Orange-Herb Butter

roasted pumpkin seeds

Hey friends! Two recipes in one week? I know, crazy town. With JJ being thousands of miles away, it gives me something to distract me from my thoughts and feelings, who likes those anyways. Not to mention having these pumpkin seeds on hand means I’m snacking on something healthy instead of all the chocolate I […]

Sweet & Savory Pumpkin Seeds

Let me start this post about spaghetti squash bolognese, completely in left field. I’ve never really been a true morning person. I’m more a middle-of-the-day person and get by with a little help from my friends coffee & wine to make me morph into a morning and/or night person when it seems appropriate. I have […]

Spaghetti Squash Bolognese

gluten free apple sausage stuffing

Gluten-Free Apple Sausage Stuffing Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks, hanging out with family, and eating a ridiculous amount of food. Most people focus {mostly} on the latter. I’m one of those people. Why? Because Thanksgiving food is delicious, usually requires a labor of love and tends to entail foods we don’t always have […]

Gluten-Free Apple Sausage Stuffing

maple bacon sriracha brussels sprouts

Maple Bacon Sriracha Brussels Sprouts Well that’s a mouthful. But at least it’s a tasty mouthful. Brussels sprouts sometimes get a bad rep. That’s because they are usually boiled or steamed. Listen, that’s no way to treat your Brussels sprouts, you hear me?!? Treat your Brussels sprouts correctly and you will be in for a […]

butternut squash soup

Butternut Squash Soup It has reached the 20s, fall is officially here. Or maybe we skipped right to winter? Either way, I am not longer rocking shorts and t-shirts outside so summer is gone :-(. The only thing I am happy about is leggings and comfort food. Okay, and Starbuck’s Holiday Flat White, whatever, call […]
