Chicken Veggie Bites

These chicken and veggie nuggets, meatballs, bites… whatever you want to call them… are packed with protein, veggies, garlic, and herbs. They are perfect to top your salads, mix into saucy pastas, or dip with your favorite condiments. I love making these yummy bites in large batches. They’re a perfect […]

 
two ceramic bowls filled with chunky autumn soup

Autumn Squash Soup

This autumn squash soup screams fall in a million ways. It’s creamy, comforting, and filled with lots of hearty fall flavors. The base of this soup starts with a pre-made, store bought soup. So I guess you could say it’s a doctored up canned soup? Or it’s just delicious homemade […]

 
blueberry date bars on brown parchment paper

Baked Blueberry Date Bars

These baked blueberry date bars could not be easier. I love any and all recipes that simply require a quick whirl in the food processor – the lazy baker’s dream. 🙂 And that’s exactly what this recipe asks of you. Just a quick spin in the food processor, pop it […]

 

Honey Mustard Brussels Sprouts

This dish is hearty and the honey mustard dressing gives it just the right amount of sweetness and tang. And the great thing is, you can easily toss in any other veggies you have on hand (chopped carrots, baby potatoes, chopped cabbage). I LOVE roasted veggies, and especially these honey […]

Cranberry Granola Bites piled on a ceramic plate

Cranberry Granola Bites

It seems like there are so many granola bar options out there. But somehow it still feels so hard to find options that are lower in sugar or that don’t have added refined sugar. If you’re like me, you like to save those sugar moments for the real desserts. Because […]

 
Creamy cauliflower mash with fresh dill and drizzle of olive oil

Creamy Cauliflower Mash

My creamy cauliflower mash is hearty, filling, and super versatile. Part of its creaminess comes from the addition of cottage cheese. If you’re not a huge fan of cottage cheese, don’t be too quick to cross this one off your list! You’ll never know cottage cheese is in this recipe, […]

 
Applesauce in jar

Crockpot Applesauce

Who needs a Glade plug-in when you have the sweet smell of homemade cinnamon applesauce slow cooking in the kitchen?? Seriously, one of the best smells! We went to Homestead Farm out in Poolesville, Maryland to pick our own apples and pick out a pumpkin, because that’s just what you do […]

 

Shrimp Ceviche

It’s pretty hard to believe that the hubby and I have been married for one year and one month today! Time seems to only fly by faster with every year that passes. Reminiscing back to July of last year makes me think of a few things… the first, obviously being […]
