This turkey vegetable soup is perfect for busy weeknights. It's quick, inexpensive, filling, and healthy. I'll show you how to cook it on the stovetop or in the slow cooker. Winter has never been my favorite season. I'm not a big fan of the cold, and during grad school winter days were particularly long. I'd get up early and head to school some mornings in the dark, only to return home in the ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
