I think tacos might be one of the easiest meals to throw together for an easy weeknight meal. You grab some Old El Paso Taco boats (I picked mine up from my local Safeway), your choice of protein, and then go crazy with veggies or fruit (yes, you can have fruit tacos!). We decided to […]
Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice Recipe
A couple of weeks ago, I was in a situation I oftentimes find myself in: plenty of food in the fridge (in this case Memorial Day cookout leftovers) but I didn’t want to eat it. We’d had leftovers from our cookout for a couple days in a row and I was desperate for something different. […]
Slow Cooker Chicken & Biscuits Recipe
Now that the weather is getting colder, I’m relying on my crock pot more and more to provide meals. I love how I can just throw in ingredients, go to work and then come home to dinner! Last week, I revisited one of my favorite cold weather recipes, chicken and biscuits a la crock pot. […]
30 Minute Healthy Chicken Fried Rice
Sometimes you just want to order out for dinner. Nothing will do but Chinese takeout. I often feel that way, but try to be judicious in my ordering out expenses and will happily cook instead if I can. Tuesday night found me with a thawed chicken thigh, a frozen bag of mixed veggies and rice. […]
A Total Body Circuit
I created the circuit below because I wanted something that would be easy to do while traveling and that didn’t require any equipment. After doing a fun Pilates workout Tuesday morning, I came home after work and did this bad boy while waiting for dinner to finish cooking. It was the perfect after work workout […]
Crunchy Chicken Drumsticks – no fryer needed!
Over the weekend, I wanted to finally use some drumsticks that had been hanging out in my freezer for awhile. I decided I wanted them to be crunchy but just could not get down with the idea of frying something since it was so.stinking.hot outside! I also in general hate frying and try to avoid […]
Kale Buttermilk Chicken Caesar Salad
I am not a big fan of salad for dinner. It feels too dainty, too tiny and not nearly filling enough for me to just eat a salad for dinner. What I am a fan of, however, is a combo meal. Say, for example, soup + a salad. Now that sounds like dinner to me. So with […]
Baked Turkey Meatballs
I promised I’d post about the turkey meatballs I made this weekend and luckily, this is a cheerful post. They were absolutely delicious and quite easy to throw together. Baked Turkey Meatballs (via Anita at Home Cooking Memories) Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely minced 1 teaspoon […]
What I’m Cooking this Weekend
I love doing preview posts about what I’m going to cook for a couple reasons, but mostly because it keeps me accountable. I can’t brag about what I’m going to cook and then not cook it. Well, I can but I’d feel like a failure and no one wants that! This weekend, I’m going to […]
