Let me just paint a quick picture for you here, friends. It's a busy week day, whether you are at home or at work, and before you know it, your stomach is grumbling, you look at the clock, and it's already lunch time. You scan your mind for what you have in your fridge/what you brought to work for lunch, and - ding! - you remember that you did an awesome, wonderful thing for yourself and meal ...
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 ...
Hot Cheesy Corn Dip
Okay, I mean...let's just be real with each other for a second. Is there anyone out there who doesn't have an emotionally intimate moment with their computer screen when they hear words like hot+cheesy+corn+dip in one title? How could this dip possibly not be the most delicious chip topper ever when it's cheesy, creamy, and loaded with sweet kernels of corn? If I'm being honest, I could go to TOWN ...

3 Ingredient Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Um...what happened in November...? I feel like November passed in three days. Guess how many times I posted in November? GUESS?!?! Four. Four times. Whoops. I'm sorryyyyyyyyyyy. I don't even know what happened. Actually I do know what happened. I traveled my FACE off. When you have a full time job and are only able to cook/photograph blog food on weekends, traveling on said weekends makes ...
Baked Greek Yogurt Chicken Flautas
Okay I know that whole "lets bake this usually-fried-item in the oven and pretend it tastes as good as the original" game. I don't like that game. I have played it before. And I don't like it. So you should trust me when I tell you about HOW GOOOODDD these baked flautas are! I was very surprised how crispy turned out just from the good ol' oven. Yum. Just...yum. You know the kind ...
Skinny Vegetarian Enchiladas
Hello, friends! It's been a while. And this is not because I didn't set out time throughout the weekend and week to cook/blog. You know how much it sucks to be super excited about a recipe and then it not turn out well? A "fail recipe" as most people call it? Well guess how many I have had in a row? Three. THREE!!!!!! Before I got this new job, I would just pick something else to ...
Blackened Salmon with Lime Cream
This salmon. It is SO easy to make and absolutely delicious. The spice rub browns in the pan and becomes this crispy, flavor bomb coating on the outside of the salmon that pairs perfectly with the refreshing lime cream that gets drizzled on top. It is seriously a match made in heaven! When Seth tried this he said it was one of the best things I've ever made...ever...so we will ...
Spicy Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs
In my opinion, Deviled Eggs are some of the best finger food-appetizer-snacks ever. I absolutely love them. I can eat an entire plate full and still want to go back for more...I have to be really careful when I am at an event where someone brought Deviled Eggs, because if I don't pay attention, I will eat half the plate before everyone else gets to have their fair share...confession. The only ...
