You may know by this point that I'm slightly obsessed with one pot meals. They are just so practical and awesome! There aren't a million pots/pans to deal with, and you can clean up the kitchen while your dinner is simmering away. IT'S SO SATISFYING. I get a little bit too excited when I find a delicious one pot meal recipe...liiikkkeeee this one! Mmmmm...Mexican food. I love Mexican food ...
Easy Crock-Pot Italian Pasta
This recipe was super out of my comfort zone - probably more so than anything I have ever posted! I would definitely call it a "hail mary" in football terms... It was extremely experimental and used ingredients that I normally am not a fan of (eggplant...EGGPLANT!!). Say extremely experimental five times fast... See? I not only bring you yummy food but also entertaining tongue twisters! You're ...
One Pot Secret Ingredient Cajun Chicken Pasta
It has been a while since I have posted any recipes! Last week was crazy from Tuesday on. Seth and I drove down to Orlando, Florida with his family to go to Universal Studios for Thanksgiving. So I am just now able to post a recipe again! This is a good one to start back up on. Not only is it a one pot meal (which I love), it also has a 70 calorie secret ingredient that substitutes all use of ...
THE Best Mac and Cheese Ever
This is THE BEST Mac and Cheese EVER. It is so good. It has everything that Mac and Cheese should have: perfectly cooked macaroni, cheesy creamy sauce, a crispy top, everything. My husband had like 5 bowls of it. We finished an entire 9x13 pan. Make this Mac and Cheese as a side dish for Thanksgiving this year. Everyone will love it. This is our second Thanksgiving side dish recipe this week, ...
30 Minute Light Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp Scampi traditionally uses a lot of butter and is eaten over pasta, so some might wonder if it is even possible to make a light version of this dish. Those people should definitely try this recipe...because it uses whole wheat pasta and only two tablespoons of butter, and you won't miss the traditional version one little bit! There is soo much flavor in this dish. And it only takes thirty ...
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 ...
