If you’ve been here awhile, you know a plain bowl of oatmeal doesn’t cut it for me anymore – once I realized it wasn’t keeping me full, I started adding healthy fats and fiber to make it truly satisfying. Two of my favorite oatmeal recipes: Overnight Oats and Quick Overnight Steel Cut Oats. Recently, I…

Korean-inspired Ground Chicken Tacos
Tacos of all kinds are in a regular rotation in our house. If you’ve been here awhile, you know I often refer to them as my favorite food group. In no particular order, I can’t get enough of shrimp tacos, fish tacos, pork carnitas tacos and veggie tacos always have a spot, too. It’s been…
Sweet and Spicy Salmon
I couldn’t love this simple, quick-to-prepare recipe any more. Buttery salmon with a sweet and spicy glaze is always a winner, even for people who claim they don’t love salmon. Somehow the combo of apricot and sriracha makes it irresistible, and it comes together in under 20 minutes. This recipe is easy to adapt with…
Ground Beef Taco Bowl with Roasted Cauliflower
Cauliflower Taco Bowls This is one of those dinners that works for everyone in our family. It’s simple enough to make on a busy weeknight yet wholesome and satisfying enough to leave everyone happy. These Cauliflower Taco Bowls have become a regular in our rotation – quick to pull together, full of flavor, and made…
Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer (using REAL pumpkin!)
I’m not much of a coffee shop person – those visits are rare treats, usually when I’m out of town or meeting up with a friend. At home, I’ve been spoiled with excellent coffee for as long as I can remember. One of my husband’s great loves in life (other than his family, of course)…
Egg Roll in a Bowl
This super easy dish is always a hit in my house. It comes together so quickly that I don’t mind making it at the end of a busy day, but it also works well as a make-ahead meal. I like to plan it after a night of fish tacos with slaw or an Asian-inspired salad…
Chicken Fajita Bowl
This chicken fajita recipe is one of my all-time favorites to teach and share. It’s so simple, customizable, and a total hit with all ages. Kids and teens especially love how quickly it comes together – they can hardly believe how flavorful it is with just a few ingredients! I’ve passed this recipe along to…
Chicken and Zucchini Tex Mex Casserole
Late summer casseroles are my jam. Winter casseroles often lean heavy and creamy – delicious for some, but not my everyday food. This late summer/early fall version is lighter, veggie-packed, and full of Tex Mex flavor. Adapted from a Good Housekeeping recipe I clipped more than 20 years ago, it’s the perfect dish to use…
Chia Seed Yogurt Bowl
A Healthy and Nourishing Breakfast Chia Seed Yogurt Bowl is one of my favorite make-ahead breakfast dishes. It’s creamy, satisfying, and nutrient-packed and it delivers the right balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber to keep you full and fueled throughout the morning. Packed With Protein, Fiber, and Healthy Fats Chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and…
Grass-fed Beef Chili with Beans
A Simple Meal for Post-Travel Days This is the kind of meal I like to make upon returning home from a trip. It uses mostly pantry staples and conveniently packaged ground beef that I keep in my freezer or refrigerator. As long as the beef is sealed, it keeps well in the refrigerator for weeks….
