Staaahhhppp I'm in love. So obsessed with this chicken. This is seriously the EASIEST recipe ever, yet it yields probably the most flavorful and moist chicken I have ever eaten in my life. Again...I'm obsessed. You know how sometimes when you cook just meat (rather than soups/stews/etc...) in a Crock-Pot, it turns out pretty dry? Tender, yes - but also dry! It makes me sad when this happens. I ...
Easy Veggie Lo Mein
Lo Mein is probably my favorite dish to get when I go out to a Chinese restaurant. Sometimes I branch out and get something different, but whenever I do I am secretly missing my traditional Lo Mein order every time :). I'm not sure why I waited for so long to create my own Lo Mein recipe at home, but I am so happy we decided to give it a try. It was a huge hit! The tender veggies, bold, ...
Salmon Banh Mi
There is this restaurant here in Georgia called Atlanta Bread Company - it's super similar to Panera but way better (at least I think so). Well there is this sandwich they make, a Salmon Banh Mi, that I am absolutely obsessed with! I get it every single time Seth and I go there and can't stop thinking the whole time about how crazy delicious it is. It has this perfect balance of flavors - crisp ...
Zucchini Noodles with Pesto Cream Sauce
So we are on day one of our three uses of pesto! This first recipe using our "Perfect Pesto" is this amazing pesto cream sauce. I love this sauce. I could eat it like soup...seriously. And it is SO easy to make! As for the zucchini noodles, if you don't want to go through the trouble of making those, you can absolutely just use whole wheat pasta instead. The point of this recipe is the sauce. So ...
Light Turkey Chili Mac and Cheese
This recipe does NOT taste healthy. It tastes like a big plate of chili cheese fries. Surprisingly, I would definitely consider this a light meal. It uses whole wheat pasta, 2% milk, ground turkey, and reduced fat cheese. It's not exactly a salad, but it definitely doesn't break your calorie bank. Its about 480 calories for each very sizable serving. These are my favorite meals to make. I love ...
Greek Nachos with Feta Cheese Sauce
Greek salad has such an awesome combination of flavors. The mixture of crisp romaine lettuce, fresh cucumbers, sharp red onion, and juicy tomatoes with the tang of red wine vinegar in the dressing makes for a perfect blend of flavor and texture. My husband isn't a fan of kalamata olives or pepperoncini or else I would have included those into this recipe along with my other toppings. Add them if ...
Roasted Carrot Soup with Ginger and Thyme
There is a story behind this soup. I just created this blog yesterday and was SUPER eager to write my first post, but I still have one meal's worth of groceries left for this week. I make a point each week not to go to the store again after my once-a-week-grocery-visit to save money...but I really wanted to create a recipe to post on my new blog! So I compromised... This soup is a concoction ...
