Anytime I can make an entire recipe in just one pot, that’s win in my book. I’ve definitely been known to use almost every pot and pan in the house when making a meal (just ask my husband!). This Instant Pot Bruschetta Chicken is healthy, easy to make, and is ready in under 20 minutes all in one pot. That’s triple win for me! Recipe Notes: If the pasta isn’t fully cooked after 3 minutes, set the Instant Pot to “saute” and cook some more. Continue to stir until the pasta is tender.Read More →

I have to admit, when I first got my Instant Pot, I was a little intimidated by it. I’m so used to just being able to throw ingredients together in a pan and hope it turns out okay. But with an instant pot, there is almost a science to it. My very first time cooking with it I had the “burn” message pot up on the screen, and it’s safe to say that freaked me out. However after more practice I can finally say that I really love my instant pot! It can help you make some really delicious meals in no time! For exampleRead More →

healthier shepherd's pie

On:

When it comes to comfort food, I think shepherd’s pie should be on the list. It’s so hearty and filling and full of flavor…what’s not to love?!

That is why I decided to re-create this meal with a healthier twist! This healthier shepherd’s pie recipe keeps all of the flavor that you love, but with much less calories!

I love Chinese food. Nothing’s better than a huge bowl of fried rice with General Tsoas chicken. Even though it leaves me hungry an hour later, I still love it. I love everything about it, except for the calorie and sodium content! I’m all about balance, and trust me, I’ll definitely pig out on Chinese food every so often. But sometimes it’s nice to create healthier versions that don’t leave me as bloated. So I created this healthier fried rice recipe! I served mine with some grilled chicken covered in a little general tsoas sauce that I found in my local supermarket. The sauce isRead More →

I started by looking up a few recipes online and then just took bits and pieces from each and threw in some of my own ideas. And the result was delicious! If you’re looking for something with less carbs, try  my updated low carb stuffed pepper recipe HERE! These peppers were so good! Cheesy andRead More →

Salsa chicken over rice and veggies

On:

I have a new found love for crockpots. It all started when I found an old one in my basement and immediately cleaned it up and started researching recipes. Since then I’ve invested in a much better (and safer!!) newer model. I now use a 7 quart Crockpot that is surprisingly cheap here on Amazon. Crockpot recipes are a staple in my house, simply because of how easy they are to make. I absolutely love being able to just throw in the ingredients and walk away. So I want to share with you one of my all-time favorite crockpot recipes…Crockpot Salsa Chicken! This is definitely a repeatRead More →
