Hello, strangers! We are finally home and settled from our big East Coast adventure. Seth had two weeks of post-deployment leave, so we headed down to North Carolina to visit family and friends for a week, and then for our second week, we left Ford in North Carolina with Seth's parents and headed off on our own for another week. We left on a Friday, drove to Charleston and stayed there until ...
Instant Pot Cheesy Turkey Taco Pasta
Okay! We are pressing play on the Instant Pot series that I had to interrupt with Whole 30 goodness. So put your Instant Pot pants back on again, because I've got this deliciousness plus a handful of others comin' your way! It definitely wasn't ideal to start my Instant Pot series and then cut it off in the middle but...#planningfail. My B. This delicious, and cheesy, might I add, turkey taco ...
Ground Turkey Shepherd’s Pie
This👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼. This right here is why I am obsessed with cold weather food. I mean, is it LITERALLY possible to get more cozy and comforting than shepherd's pie?? Hearty meat and veggies coated in a light gravy topped with creamy mashed potatoes and baked?! Um, right. I didn't think so. This is like the ultimate "bring to your friend who just had a baby" or "bring to your coworker who just had ...
30 Minute One Pot Hamburger Helper
Do you have any meals that you used to eat growing up that, despite their unhealthy and processed-ness (?), you love because they're nostalgic? Or even if it's not nostalgia, you like eating them now because you never were allowed to eat them when you were a kid? My parents were pretty healthy people, so we NEVER had sugary cereals, bags of chips, or lunchables laying around our house. And of ...
Cheddar and Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Oh my gaaassshhhhh these are so amazing. I'm going to be straight up with you guys, because honesty is good right? This recipe has been in my "to make" note for several months now. I thought it had potential to be tasty, but I mainly thought it would just be a nice, healthy meal. I never expected it to be anywhere near as delicious as it was. This ranks on my list of meals that I could literally ...
Guacamole Turkey Burgers [21 Day Fix]
Okay. This is totally one of my new healthy faves. Scratch "healthy faves" and replace with just "faves" in general. The word faves is starting to sound strange. Despite the overuse of "faves," this turkey burger seriously is out of this world. The addition of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in the ground turkey yields SO much flavor. The patty alone seared with those ...
Loaded 21 Day Fix Pizza
Pizza and sushi. The two best foods that have ever existed in the world of food. If you don't like sushi, I can forgive you. Sushi can be a little bit funky, and there are some interesting textures goin' on in there with the raw fish. But pizza? Evveerryyone loves pizza. If you don't love pizza, then I don't love you. Just kidding. I still love you. Just a little bit less, pizza hater. 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 ...
