This past Christmas, I received two really awesome gifts: A Roomba, and an Instant Pot. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that the Roomba has changed my life. I have a chocolate lab. If you have a large breed shedding machine, you get it. The Instant Pot is similarly awesome, allowing me to save time by throwing frozen (yes, FROZEN) chicken breasts in to cook and plating dinner 30 ...

Turkey Taco Bowls for Two with Avocado Cilantro “Crema”
I wish I could adequately describe to you how much I love a cabbage bowl. Sometimes I think I could eat them indefinitely. Sub turkey for beef, beef for shrimp, shrimp for tofu...the protein and vegetable add-ins are endless. Best of all, I never seem to miss processed carbs when I'm eating these dinners. This turkey taco bowl is no exception! And there's another thing I love about cabbage ...
Tropical Green Smoothie
With summer right around the corner and temperatures rising, I'm craving lighter, easier meals. This tropical green smoothie definitely fits the bill. This smoothie takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, and only requires a blender. If you've ever been wary of green smoothies, this is a great recipe to try. The spinach is mild enough that the smoothie still tastes fruity and sweet. You can ...
Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos (DF, Vegan)
Holy guacamole, these babies are good! If you've ever doubted that a vegan dinner can satisfy, you haven't tried these sweet potato black bean tacos. Even my boyfriend, who is quite the carnivore, was asking for more. There's so much to love about these tacos -- they're loaded with heavy-hitting superfoods like cabbage, sweet potato, black beans, avocados, and pepitas (also known as pumpkin ...
Cauliflower Walnut “Meat” Taco Salad Bowl (Vegan)
Let's taco 'bout how amazing these taco salad bowls are. (Sorry, couldn't help it!) These salad bowls are so pretty and so delicious, no one will notice the "meat" is vegan. Not even your meat-loving boyfriend! I've been seeing more and more variations on taco "meat" substitutes in my instagram feed lately, so I thought I better check it out. And let me just tell you, I am SO glad I ...
Best Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita Bowls
Chicken fajita bowls: all the delicious chicken fajita flavor you're craving with little to no guilt! This recipe is yet another of our Ah-Mazing sheet pan meals (check out Exhibit A and Exhibit B here). No dishes, no problems, am I right?! Like all of my favorite recipes, this one is -- you guessed it -- versatile! You can eat your chicken, onions, and peppers over a chopped salad, ...
Grapefruit + Avocado Salad
I have such fond memories of this salad. My grandmother has been making this salad as a side for our family Christmas every year since I can remember. As a kid I don’t think I appreciated the culmination of textures and citrus flavors that excite your tastebuds, but as a young adult and into my twenties I have looked forward every year to this Grapefruit + Avocado Salad. The pairing of the tangy ...
Jibarito – Plantain Burger (Whole30 + Paleo)
Ever had one of those pure bliss moments during a Whole30 or a clean eating phase? One where you try a new recipe, take a bite, and immediately think "This CANNOT be clean. It is just. too. good." That happened to me a few times during my second Whole30. The first time it happened with my veggie-packed turkey meatloaf muffins and "cheesy" cauliflower mash. The second time, dear friends, was with ...
Elevated Leftover Turkey Sandwich
Let’s be real and all agree that our favorite part of Thanksgiving is the leftover turkey, cranberries, mashed sweet potatoes, pecan pie, etc. etc. No one can deny a leftover turkey sandwich on Black Friday is better than any other sandwich eaten the other 364 days of the year. I have a couple theories as to why, so bear with me. My first theory is nostalgia. We long for the days when we ...
Black Bean + Chicken Enchilada Soup
Fall is here! While I have yet to indulge in my inaugural pumpkin spice latte, I cannot contain my excitement. I know I speak for all of us at Fridge to Fork when I say that growing up in the deep south states of Georgia and Alabama, we didn't really have all four seasons. It was either cook-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk scorching hot in the summer, or "meh, I can probably still wear shorts and just a ...
