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 ...
Apple Quinoa Salad with Hot Walnut Bacon Dressing
Apples, quinoa, and salad greens get tossed with a savory hot walnut bacon dressing. Crunchy, savory, and just sweet enough. A fall favorite! Yep, you heard me. Walnuts. Bacon. Hot. Dressing. It's salty and crunchy and savory and tangy and sweet. It's a serious dressing that can hold it's own! This is no vinaigrette!! It's filling and hearty. It's -- dare I say it -- fall y'all! Maybe I ...
Mongolian Beef + Zucchini Noodles
This dish is fantastic, and honestly not too difficult. It may use some ingredients you don’t have in your fridge, but after tasting this you’ll want to keep these ingredients stocked! This was my first time using Thai chili sauce, I’m now border line obsessed! It’s sweet and tangy and packs in some heat! I see myself using this regularly. Sesame oil is a great staple for sauces or dressings, and ...
Mediterranean Bowl
Bowls are definitely one of my favorite food trends! It is a great way to eat all the flavors and foods you enjoy, with a little less guilt. While there is no one way to make a bowl, there are a few guidelines I like to follow. Use lots of color! With any meal I try to make as much color as possible on my plate. The sweet potato and roasted peppers really give a pop of vibrant color, while ...
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 ...
Roasted Salmon with Edamame Succotash and Herb Dill Sauce
Succotash is a Southern staple. It typically is served with lima beans and corn, but we jazzed it up by substituting edamame for the lima beans to still give the starch but utilize what was in the freezer. When making this dish at home you can substitute any other vegetable you have on hand. Sara Ann and I happened to have some potatoes, corn, edamame and bell pepper on hand, but you could ...

Spicy Venison Cabbage Bowl
When I stumbled upon this Siracha Beef Cabbage Bowl recipe from Kalyn's Kitchen a few years ago, I was instantly in love. Then, as now, I was trying to eat less processed food and carbs, and I knew that this recipe would be a super satisfying and healthy dinner to add to my rotation. Well, it's three years later and I still love this recipe. I've tried variations with ground turkey and ground ...
