Goat Cheese & Roasted Red Pepper Turkey Burgers

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)

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 […]
