Instant Pot (Pressure Cooker) Jalapeño Chicken + Brown Rice Bowls
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 ...
Slow Cooker Tortellini Soup
Ah, September. Back to school and back to the daily grind. I'm not sure how we arrived here (I feel like it should still be spring!), but here we are. Fall is upon us, which makes it a great time of year to dust off the ole' slow cooker and pull out the crock pot recipe cards once more. I personally love my slow cooker. I know that sometimes the slow cooker recipes can be old and ...
Turmeric Cauliflower Soup (DF, Vegan)
A little bit spicy, a little bit sweet. A little bit of crunch mixed in with a whole lotta creaminess. Yes, my friend, I'm talking about our turmeric cauliflower soup. It's super creamy, but is in fact both vegan and dairy-free! I love a reason to bust out my dutch oven, and what better excuse than a big pot of soup! The base of this soup couldn't be simpler. You'll start out by sautéing ...
Shrimp and Green Pea Scampi
Shrimp scampi is a quick weeknight meal with most ingredients you may have in your refrigerator or pantry. We changed this traditional recipe up by adding some green peas for a pop of color! I always try to keep frozen vegetables and frozen protein in the freezer for those weeknights when you do not have time to got to the grocery store or want to do something simple and easy. You could also ...
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 ...
Pumpkin Seed Pesto with Zoodles + Blistered Cherry Tomatoes
Raise your hand if you love pesto! Now raise your hand if you're allergic to, or avoiding, nuts... We've got a pretty special recipe just for you! This pumpkin seed pesto is 100% dairy and nut free, AND 100% delicious! I chose to use arugula to add a peppery bite to my pesto. And because -- let's be real -- it was in the fridge! You can use any leafy green that you like. Spinach, mixed ...
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 ...
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 ...
