Crazy Easy Three Ingredient Pimento Mac and Cheese
Guess what I found in my eleven month old son's mouth this morning? I'll give you a few minutes to ponder your guess. *** *** Dog food. It was dog food. A pellet of dog food. **Cue all the vomit emojis.** He was crawling around on our rug in the living room and I saw him bring his little fist up to his face and he looked at me, clearly with something in his mouth, and I hopped up and ran ...
Smashed Chickpea and Avocado
Aaaaand welcome to my obsession. My love language. My crack = ^^^^. I made this recipe FOR-EVER go, before my Instant Pot series and before Whole 30, so it has taken me this long to actually get around to posting it because I had to finish those two things out first. Now that I am done with my Instant Pot series and done with my Whole 30 recipes, this delicious little baby FINALLY has its time in ...
Spiralized Sweet Potato Taco Skillet
Tacos are life. I've been having a consistent taco craving fooorr...I wanna say...approximately 15 years. It's never ending - I'm always down for a taco. Luckily, on whole 30, a taco craving is actually pretty easily satiated. There are a lot of healthy substitutes where you ditch the cheese and tortilla but still get your taco fix. Lettuce wraps = perf. Taco bowls (with cauliflower rice) = ...

Cocoa and Chili Crusted Steak with Jalapeno Chimichurri
So I'm sure you have seen lots of those meal delivery ads for Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, and other similar companies, right? They're all the rage right now, and I can fully see why - SUPER convenient. Seth and I tried one a few years ago for one week just for fun to see if the food was any good. It was a fun week, but we still prefer just coming up with our own dinners! In February, when I was in ...
Instant Pot Chicken Poblano Soup
Soups are one of my all time favorite things to cook. There is so much versatility, and you can make them SO PAINFULLY delicious when you add a bunch of yummy flavor combinations. There are days where I'm craving the simplicity of a straight up chicken noodle soup, but most of the time I like to make soups that are a little more unique and just bursting with a slap-you-across-the-face amount of ...
Penne with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
I meeaaannnnn, I know. It looks so good you could just reach through your shiny computer screen and grab a massive fork full. Or five. Or just grab the whole bowl...who are we kidding, no one would say no to a massive bowl of pasta after a long day #amIright? That mouthwatering red "sauce" coating those beautiful little whole grain penne noodles is none other than sun-dried tomato pesto. We use ...
Baked Ham and Swiss Croissants with Honey Mustard Sauce
This warm, melty, gooey, comforting croissant sandwich has been on my mind for weeks. Ever since the thought popped into my brain, I haven't stopped craving it! I brought it to work today for lunch and was just counting down the minutes until I could eat it. THEY ARE SO GOOD. Does this give you a small peak into my food-obsessed brain? The fact that I was counting down the minutes until lunch ...
