December 30, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

This Easy Guide to Meal Planning and Meal Prep will help you save time and money, reduce food waste, and get a delicious, nutritious crowd-pleasing meal on the table as painlessly as possible.

Most of us have the best of intentions when it comes to cooking at home more and eating out less. (Or avoiding the drive-through on the way to or from work!) But unless we give ourselves some practical tools, meal prep can seem like a huge chore. I’m simplifying it, making meal prep approachable, and giving some real-life solutions that will help make meal planning and meal prep as effortless as possible.…

Low Carb Moussaka (Greek Beef Eggplant Casserole)

April 24, 2017 by Faith 19 Comments

This gluten free Low Carb Moussaka (Greek Beef Eggplant Casserole) recipe has a couple non-traditional elements that make it truly special. Greece has been on my bucket list of travel destinations for forever now. When I think of Greece, I think of ancient ruins. The brilliant blue of the Aegean Sea, contrasted by the pristine white houses. And the food, of course the food....

Low-Carb Cheesy Leftover Turkey (or Chicken) Jalapeno Popper Casserole {Gluten-Free}

November 21, 2016 by Faith 14 Comments

This gluten-free Low-Carb Cheesy Leftover Turkey (or Chicken) Jalapeno Popper Casserole can be made ahead using leftover turkey or chicken; make a double batch (in two casserole dishes) so you have dinner set for another night too! I know by this point you’re probably sick of being bombarded with every manner of Thanksgiving recipe, but I come bearing a little inspiration on what to do with leftover turkey after the big day. I realize every family has a few staple recipes using leftover turkey that absolutely have to get made every year; maybe it’s your grandma’s Turkey Barley Vegetable Soup, Turkey Tetrazzini, Turkey Pot Pie, or […]...

Cheesy Refried Bean Burritos

July 17, 2015 by Faith 5 Comments

These Cheesy Refried Bean Burritos are a hit with kids and adults alike! And bonus, they come together fast and are freezer-friendly. When I dormed in college, my friends took it upon themselves to teach me how to cook their favorite meals. An Indian boy across the hall cooked me vegetable curry. My Italian friend would cook me her grandmother’s recipe for chicken with basil cream sauce. And my roommate’s specialty was refried bean and bell pepper burritos....

Quick Creamy Chicken Paprika Soup

June 5, 2015 by Faith 9 Comments

I’m a planner. (I may have mentioned that here before or you may have guessed. Or you may know from personal experience, and if that’s the case and I drove you nuts with my 1001 lists all I can say is I’m sorry. Truly. But remember, like Monica’s label maker, sometimes organization comes in handy. ;) ) Anyway....

Pizza Stuffed Peppers

April 24, 2015 by Faith 12 Comments

I’ve been on a real pizza kick lately. (I don’t want to spoil any surprises, but there will be another pizza-inspired-but-not-really-pizza recipe coming soon! Update: Check out my recipe for Pizza Salad with Pepperoni Chips and Creamy Roasted Tomato-Garlic Dressing!)...

Red Lentil Bolognese

March 27, 2015 by Faith 8 Comments

This dish is a little nostalgic for me, but not in the way you’d expect. Other than being a darn tasty meal, it has no personal significance aside from the fact that it’s the last recipe I have that hasn’t been shared on my blog yet that I made and photographed while Mike and I were still living in Kuwait. (We left there last summer, so that shows you how long I’ve had this recipe in my queue!)...

30-Minute Chocolate-Espresso Beef and Black Bean Chili

February 9, 2015 by Faith 15 Comments

Do you go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day or stay at home? (I usually make Mike and I a romantic meal, like our favorite Spiced Sirloin Roast for Two, but this year I’m on strike…so either he’ll end up cooking or we’ll go out. Because sometimes a girl just needs to go on strike for a night, right, ladies?)...

The weekend after Thanksgiving is always pretty hectic around here....

Quick Lasagna Casserole {aka Lazy Lasagna}

April 28, 2014 by Faith 12 Comments

Not too long ago, I made a huge batch of bison, bean, and vegetable soup. It was, if I do say so myself, pretty fabulous. Naturally, I completely expected my hubby not to like it....
