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 ...
BBQ Chicken Tacos with Superfood Slaw
BBQ chicken tacos with superfood slaw are a great way to utilize leftovers you have in the fridge. This past Sunday night, I made crock pot BBQ chicken with macaroni and cheese and a side superfood salad with poppyseed dressing. We did not eat all of the BBQ chicken nor the salad (macaroni and cheese was gone though), so I thought what can I do with the leftovers? Tacos! DUH! I always keep ...
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 ...
Fish Tacos with Sweet and Spicy Pear Slaw
Pears are a fruit that I often forget about when shopping at the store. I always get apples, oranges, and sometimes berries (so basic), but I rarely buy pears! Pears. Are. Delicious. They have such a nice velvety texture and they are so juicy and sweet, but not too sweet! I figured a pear slaw would be a perfect dish to highlight how great they are! And what better use of slaw than on top of fish ...
Brussels Sprouts with Apples + Bacon (Whole30)
Brussels have come a long way since grandma used to boil them and serve 'em up plain. If you haven't jumped on the brussel bandwagon yet, today is your day, my friend. The addition of bacon, shallots, and apples in this brussel sprout dish makes it more a one-pot meal than a side. This would be a great accompaniment to pork, but I like to eat a big bowl by itself! We'll just be impressed if you ...
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 ...
Apple Superfood Slaw
Carrots! Apples! Cabbage, Oh my! This superfood slaw is a true thing of beauty. It is crunchy and flavorful and wait -- did I mention that it has barely any mayo? Sorry mayo lovers, I'm not a big fan. In fact, I tried to make this slaw entirely without mayo, but found that one to two tablespoons was the sweet spot. When omitted altogether, the slaw took on too much of the greek yogurt taste. I ...
