Rich in flavor, this 30-Minute Beef Bolognese with Herbes de Provence and Red Wine is impressive enough to entertain with, but fast enough for weeknight dinner!

Once cooking for yourself or for your family becomes a regular part of your routine, you find ways to make it work even on busy weeknights. Maybe it’s grocery shopping and prepping ingredients over the weekend, or maybe it’s batch cooking a couple nights a week and then eating leftovers the rest of the time. No matter what your game plan is, having a few easy recipes that come together in just 30 minutes is always a welcome trick to have up your sleeve. Especially when it’s a meal that you can entertain with!…

30-Minute Sesame Beef and Snap Pea Stir-Fry Skillet Supper {And Well Fed Weeknights Cookbook Review}

October 3, 2016 by Faith 10 Comments

This paleo, Whole30-friendly 30-Minute Sesame Beef and Snap Pea Stir-Fry Skillet Supper was inspired by Melissa Joulwan’s Well Fed Weeknights cookbook; it’s full of real-food ingredients minus any icky add-ins, and it’s even better than takeout from your favorite Chinese restaurant. So, in a nutshell, Melissa Joulwan is a paleo goddess. She’s the mastermind behind the Well Fed cookbooks and not only are her recipes approachable and innovative, but they’re pretty dang amazing whether you eat paleo or not. I think we can all agree that it’s a pretty good day when you get to eat a meal that’s as insanely delicious as it is nourishing, […]...

January 15, 2016 by Faith 14 Comments

Easy Turkey or Chicken Masala Wraps are a delicious recipe to transform leftovers into a completely new meal! I don’t consider myself a food snob at all. My go-to meal when nothing sounds good is a humble egg (preferably fried, runny yolk) with roasted vegetables, or a big pile of salad greens topped with whatever leftovers I can find in the fridge....

We all know that one of the best things about Thanksgiving dinner is the leftovers.

A delicious 15-minute dinner is right up my alley....

November 6, 2015 by Faith 20 Comments

This paleo Stovetop Maple Chicken Hot Pot recipe hits all the right flavor notes (sweet, salt, and spice), making it addictively delicious and a great way to showcase the versatility of maple syrup. Some of my all-time favorite food memories from being a kid involve a big stack of pancakes topped with a pat of butter and drizzled with amber-colored, sticky-sweet maple syrup. Growing up, pancakes in our house were a very rare event, saved for birthdays and holidays, which made the ordeal even more special....

November 4, 2015 by Faith 4 Comments

Some meals are always saved for special occasions. Usually if it’s just my hubby and I for dinner and pasta is on the menu, I whip up a quick tomato sauce with browned ground beef. Meatballs in my house usually mean a special occasion, mostly because I typically don’t take the time to make them. But this […]...

Macaroni and Cheeseburger Vegetable Soup

October 12, 2015 by Faith 12 Comments

This Macaroni and Cheeseburger Vegetable Soup has all the flavors of a classic burger, but in cold-weather comfort food form. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I enjoy traveling. I love experiencing new cultures or even just new regions of the US, and immersing myself in the foods the locals eat. But I’d be lying if I said I don’t enjoy coming back home and returning to my routine. At heart, I’m a creature of habit, happiest in my home....
