When I think of Beef Stew, I think of a warm, cozy house full of the wonderful smells of a simmering stew full of hearty ingredients – a fire in the fireplace and snow falling outside. I also think of Basili’s Uncle Jim who makes a mean Beef Stew! Basili has asked me several times over the years to make …
Turkey Mozzarella Meatloaf Muffins
MY KIDS ATE VEGGIES!!! These were really tasty, pretty easy to whip up and right on track for my current program, The Master’s Hammer and Chisel. Basili and the boys really enjoyed these too, so I will consider that a win! I have made these a couple times and the second time, I made them with Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower …
Skinny Roasted Veggie and Ground Beef Lasagna
WHOA. Did you say veggies? Because I am pretty sure my kids just ate the whole thing. I will consider this dish a ‘mom win’. Basili found a recipe on The Food Network’s website that sounded really tasty so I decided to put my spin on it, making sure it would be Hammer & Chisel friendly! It turned out great! …
Fixed Up Tomato Artichoke Soup
I LOVE artichokes and tomato soup has a special place in my heart on a cold day – so when I saw my teammate, Melissa Hedden, posted this recipe for a Fixed Up Tomato Artichoke Soup, I knew I would have to give it a shot (and made a special trip to the store to grab the ingredients!) Be sure …
Grilled Lemon Chicken
There are some days, you just need simple. Not a lot of chopping, no long list of ingredients, just a simple marinade for chicken and some roasted veggies. I really enjoyed this lemon chicken recipe – I have made a few in the past but they were WAY too lemon-y and, well, WOW. Last night, when Basili arrived home from …
Herb Roasted Red Potatoes
A good side dish that compliments a meal nicely is always a treat! I serve these potatoes along side beef, typically. I started making these at Christmas for our family dinner, hosted at our house. They are simple and satisfying and go perfectly with my Red Wine Pot Roast! The morning of, I will throw the potatoes in a large …
Ground Beef Spaghetti Squash Skillet
All I have to say is YUM. My good friend Brittny of BrittKFitness shared this recipe with me and I have been excited to try it! I cooked this up last night with my usual spin on it because I can never just follow a recipe (haha) and when Basili walked in, he commented about how good the house smelled …
Healthy Ranch Chicken Skillet
One skillet meals are my favorite and this one is being added to ‘the list’ at our house. 🙂 It is something a little different, the spices/seasonings are different than my normal go-to, but we liked it a lot! It was EASY to make, clean and 21 Day Fix Approved, of course! My Healthy Ranch Skillet did not disappoint in …
Tuscan Chicken Artichoke Skillet
You know the aroma that envelopes you as you open the doors to an Italian restaurant…yeah, that. My house smelled like THAT!! This dish was so easy and so full of flavor and light on the clean up! Bonus! This Tuscan Chicken Artichoke Skillet is a recipe my good friend Brittny Knapp of Britt K Fitness sent to me and …
Healthy Slow Cooked Steak Fajitas
Let me just put this out there – I LOVE my slow cooker! Yes. There is nothing like taking a few minutes in the morning to throw together dinner, pop it in the slow cooker and let it cook away. No muss, no fuss. I get to enjoy some quiet time in the afternoon and when the boys woke up …
