If you’ve been around for awhile, you know that quick and easy meals are my favorite. Especially with a little one, sometimes I can’t spend hours in the kitchen. We just got back from a 2.5 week trip to visit our families and the first thing I did was make these bowls for lunches. The beauty of this recipe is that you can throw the…
This meal is going to be a new favorite. I always know when it’s a hit in my family because my husband has four bowls when I make it. This does have a little heat, if you don’t like spicy foods try to make it without the chili paste. Of course all my recipes are now going to be made gluten free but that doesn’…
I actually am not a big fan of sweet potatoes and my husband is. They are so healthy for you and I wanted to incorporate more variety for my baby as well. There is such a good balance in this meal, but it does come with a bit of spice. If you don’t like things too spicy, omit some (or all) of the chili powder. Serving size is…
This recipe was an all time favorite years ago. We made it so often that I memorized the ingredients and could make it on a whim. Fast forward, I lost the recipe for a few years, but it’s making a come back. I want you to trust me in this process because the barbecue sauce makes the food combo seem weird. But somehow it all works together for…
My husband and I welcomed our first daughter early February. Needless to say, we’ve been busy and thinking about what to eat normally comes last. Especially being across the country from our family, we knew it would get hard as we don’t have anyone to drop off a meal. We didn’t want to go out all the time and didn’t want to…
Let me tell you right off the bat; after making this homemade ranch, I will always make it from now on. It’s made with ingredients that we always have on hand, tastes way better then store bought, and is way healthier (if you get fat free/low fat ingredients). These pizzas are more of a bonus recipe for this blog! They are super quick and easy during the…
The beauty of stuffed peppers is that you can change it up any way you’d like. My previous recipe is a little different than this one. We’re going to make a taco filling for the stuffed pepper, which are great leftovers for tacos! I decided to carve out Jack O Lantern faces into them since fall just begun. A fun little touch that anyone will love…
This stew has the perfect amount of sweetness from the beans. This recipe has three different kinds of meats in it with a mixture of beans and veggies. I think next time I make this I won’t include the sausage just to lower how much meat was in the stew. This was a good weeknight meal to make, just be aware it does take a little over an…
My friend Faith gave me this recipe over two years ago and I have made it so many times since. I would just bookmark this recipe now because you will more than likely be making it again. There have been days where I have made this just for dinner. And it’s actually one of my biggest pregnancy cravings right now. This recipe is super easy and quick, which…
Fun Fact- I used to be scared to make egg noodles. Every time I made egg noodles they did not come out right, more so overdone. But let me tell you, this recipe makes them absolutely perfect and is packed with flavor. This meal is a really good low-calorie weekday meal. In fact, the leftovers did not last more than one day in our house when I made this…
Life has been crazy. My first semester of graduate school is done, my family visited for a few weeks, my husband started a new job, we have been waking up at 4am (yes you read that right) to work out, and weekly puppy training. The list goes on, but I am hoping to get back into the groove of blogging and bringing you more recipes, tips, and trips. To kick…
One of my favorite FlexPro Meals is the Turkey Shepard’s pie and I really wanted to make it myself with my own twist. This meal was easy (as always right?) and packed full of veggies and lean meat. And the leftovers didn’t make it past night two. I left my potatoes a little more on the chunky side but if you want them more creamy, then…
