It is a snowy day here and the boys and I got inside right before B got home – I was ready for a hot meal! Whenever I think of White Chicken Chili, it reminds me of when I was growing up and we would come in from skiing for lunch at our favorite restaurant at the base of …
Fixed Up General Tso’s Chicken
So my husband has ALWAYS been big on getting Chinese take out and HATES that I don’t enjoy partaking too. Of course, I LOVE the food, but I always blow up like a hot air balloon afterwards because of all of the sodium that goes into the food – and well, the whole ‘after’ experience is just not something that …
Slow Cooked Pumpkin Turkey Chili
It’s almost Fall and that means EVERYTHING must have pumpkin! Well, maybe not everything, but this certainly was delicious! When I told Basili was I was making for dinner, he had his doubts for sure – he was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed this chili! I prepped the chili during Noah’s nap time when Zach was at school earlier this …
Chimichurri Flat Iron Steak
It was Saturday night and we were down to one kid, thanks to my parents for taking Zachary for the evening for some one on one time with their grandson! Since we weren’t going to be taking our 17 month old out on a date night with us (read: food flying and loud bird like noises for all to hear …
Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo
If you like shrimp – if you like Cajun – if you like creamy pasta dishes – THIS is the recipe for you! I was playing around in the kitchen and combined 3 different recipes along with my own twist to create this dish! Thanks to inspiration from Jean Reed’s delicious Alfredo sauce recipe, I have been having a blast …
Cajun Seasoning Blend
I had a Cajun recipe I have been wanting to try recently and I always enjoy making my own seasoning blends so I know EXACTLY what is in them! This Cajun Seasoning Blend was robust with flavor, but not quite as spicy as some! I have 2 young boys, so I try to not have a heavy hand when it …
21 Day Fix Zucchini Mexican Lasagna
I might be LOCO, but this recipe was amazing! Here is my take on the 21 Day Fix Mexican Lasagna recipe that has been floating around our challenge groups and Pinterest lately. I don’t like using both of my yellow containers in one meal, ESPECIALLY at dinner time. I typically will eat all of my yellows in the first part of …
Ground Beef Enchilada Zucchini Boats
This recipe was such a fun twist on the usual enchilada bake. Perfect if you are watching your carb intake, don’t have any yellow containers left for the day or are gluten free. Basili really enjoyed this one and he is usually a ‘bread’ guy. There are a lot of steps, but once everything is chopped up, it comes together …
21 Day Fix Chicken Avocado Quesadilla
My 21 Day Fix Chicken Avocado Quesadilla truly hit the spot today! I was craving something substantial. Something spicy. One of my throw together snacks wasn’t going to fit the bill today. THIS WAS IT. It was so fresh and so flavorful and really easy to make – not to mention, look how colorful it is!! 🙂 Each week, I put …
21 Day Fix Fiesta Shrimp
I love a good shrimp recipe! We don’t eat a lot of seafood in our home, so when we do, it is a real treat. (I have this rule about being able to see the water a fish was caught in OR that we are in a nice fish restaurant to order or make fish!) ANYWAY, this 21 Day Fix …
