I found this recipe idea on Pinterest and after seeing the basic concept, I made it my own. I’m a big fan of anything sweet mixed with soy sauce – honey and soy sauce is a go-to marinade for me. So I loved the idea of mixing brown sugar, pineapple juice and soy sauce to […]
Crockpot Shredded Chicken Quesadillas
Sometimes I’m a wonderful menu planner and have all my meals chosen for the week. And other times, I’m sitting at work at 12pm thinking, what can I scrounge up with what I have (maybe with an additional quick grocery run during my lunch break). Yesterday was one of those “make it work with what […]
Almond Milk, Berries + Oats Smoothie
I have recently become obsessed with almond milk. I was scared to try it (not sure why) but I recently picked up some and discovered that it is delicious! I’ve been using it in my overnight oats and decided that I love it so much I should create a smoothie with it. I’ve never made […]
The Most Delicious Veggie Pizza EVER!
If I had to choose one food to have on a deserted island for the rest of my life, I’d choose pizza. I love pizza. It is by far one of my favorite foods which is great because it’s a food you can find easily wherever you are. The flip side of that is that […]
Overnight Oats
I’ve been trying to eliminate more processed food from my diet and figured one easy way I could do that was to stop eating the packs of instant oatmeal I have for breakfast at my desk each day. While they are certainly a better choice for breakfast than a bagel or heavy sandwich, there is […]
Best of Meals
I am entering into a month where I will be away from my home on work travel for a solid week and a half total. In addition to the travel, my boyfriend turns 30, we will celebrate our one year anniversary, I’m running a ten-miler and a half marathon (whose bright idea was that?!?!), I have my mid-year […]
Second day cookies
Oh my word. I was not anticipating writing a post about cookies. I truly wasn’t. But then I came home from work yesterday and wanted a cookie. And the cookies I’d made the previous evening were so soft and fluffy and delicious — somehow they tasted better than they did hot out the oven. And […]
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 […]
