Weeknight Cheesy Beef Skillet Chili is great for those nights when dinner has to be on the table quick! With Labor Day over, kiddos are back to school and the weather is finally cooling off; and also, chili season is here in full force! Chili is one of those staple fall and winter meals in my house that gets made probably once a month or so because it’s so easy to whip up and always goes over well at dinner....
30-Minute Thai-Inspired Cashew Chicken Skillet Supper {Paleo}
This paleo 30-Minute Thai-Inspired Cashew Chicken Skillet Supper has a great balance of flavors and makes a delicious weeknight meal! During his normal workday routine, my hubby isn’t a breakfast eater. (Unlike me…I look forward to breakfast the night before, lol.) That changes for him when we’re on vacation though....
Seared Salmon with Fresh Cherry and Charred Poblano Chopped Salad {Paleo; Whole30}
This paleo Seared Salmon with Fresh Cherry and Charred Poblano Chopped Salad makes perfect use of sweet, in-season cherries for a fresh new way to dress up dinner. When I don’t feel like cooking but I still want to eat clean, salmon is what usually comes to my weeknight dinnertime rescue. It cooks up in a matter of minutes on the stovetop, and is a great base flavor just waiting to be dressed up any number of ways....
Quick Mushroom Beef Stroganoff Skillet Supper
Quick Mushroom Beef Stroganoff Skillet Supper comes together in 30 minutes for an easy weeknight dinner. When mom comes over for dinner, its always a little nerve-wracking thinking about what to make. Not because shes picky in general (although like most people, she has a few things that she absolutely will not touch), but because when I make new-to-her-things, its hit or miss as to whether or not theyll go over well. The last time mom came over for dinner I decided to go with an old classic: Beef Stroganoff!...
Spring Mix and Roasted Green Bean Salad with Creamy Maple-Miso Dressing
Spring Mix and Roasted Green Bean Salad with Creamy Maple-Miso Dressing is packed with flavor and nutrition for a delicious lunch or side salad. When Mike and I have houseguests, there are two things I try to do when meal planning. The first is ask about their favorite foods or flavors and integrate them into the meals I make. And the second is share my salad-a-day habit with them by making a gorgeous gigantic salad for lunches. The trick is to make salad so interesting that no one can resist it....
Soy Sauce Orange Cashew Chicken with Noodles
Soy Sauce Orange Cashew Chicken with Noodles is a delicious sweet/savory weeknight dinner in 30 minutes! I have a friend who wont cook unless she can follow a recipe to follow to the letter. No subbing yellow bell pepper for red bell pepper, avocado oil wont see the light of day if the recipe calls for sautéing in light olive oil, and if a recipe makes two servings but shes cooking for four, she will literally make the same recipe twice instead of just doubling it. Im totally not judging (to each her own! Whatever works, right?), but I seriously do not have patience for […]...
Easy Miso Chicken Soup
Easy Miso Chicken Soup comes together in 30 minutes for a delicious weeknight dinner! Friends frequently ask Mike and I where we want to travel next, and both of us immediately think of going back to Thailand because it completely stole our hearts. The only problem with that is there are so many other beautiful places we want to visit first; Turkey, Eastern Europe, and Japan are all high on our list, with Japan in particular being near the top....
Grilled Chicken Salad with Corn, Peaches, Blue Cheese, and Balsamic-Honey Syrup
This Grilled Chicken Salad with Corn, Peaches, Blue Cheese, and Balsamic-Honey Syrup is full of summer flavors! Until about a year ago I was completely grill-lazy. Which was strange because I went through a grill-all-the-time phase where I wouldn’t even let my hubby touch the grill. (Ok, that’s a stretch…I insisted on being the primary griller, but far be it from me to completely stand between a man and his fire.)...
Blue Cheese, Chicken, and Cauliflower Skillet with Bacon, Walnut, and Date Topping
I go through phases when I just don’t feel like cooking. At all. Sometimes, if I’m really burned out, the better part of a week will go by before I feel inspired to cook. That’s when Mike gets to do one of his favorite things: live off the food from the Pakistani restaurant a block from where we live. It’s a windfall for him and a win for me too since I get a much-needed break and time to recharge....
