For a quick and easy weeknight meal, try the classic broccoli cheddar baked potato recipe using roasted broccoli for enhanced flavor and texture. I’m on a quest to compile a collection of super fast weeknight dinner recipes. Ain’t nobody got time to slave over food at the end of a busy day, so we all…
Homemade Deep Dish Pizza
Make your own deep dish pizza crust and thick, tomato-filled sauce for deep dish you’ll want on a weekly rotation. Have you ever made a recipe and are completely shocked at how well it turns out? That was me a couple weeks ago when I tried my hand at making a Chicago-style deep dish pizza….
Sugar and Spice Salmon
Sweeten up dinnertime by flavoring salmon with this easy-to-make brown sugar and chili powder rub. I feel the need to preface this post with the disclaimer that this recipe does not photograph very well, but it was too good not to share. Fish is not exactly my favorite, which is a shame since I have…
Berry and Walnut Chicken Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
For a light and vibrant salad, layer chicken and fresh fruit on a bed of romaine lettuce and top with crumbled feta and a drizzle of sweet poppy seed dressing. There are certain recipes that remind me how much of a “foodie” I am. While I was in the middle of assembling this salad, I…
Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap
Give the classic Caesar salad a makeover by adding it to wrap with chicken for a punch of protein and croutons for a bit of crunch. Do you have any dishes that when you see it on a menu at a restaurant, you have to order it? That’s me with Chicken Caesar Wraps. It’s such…
BLT Wedge Salad
Throw this wedge salad together for a super speedy side dish or main entree. Topped with bacon, tomato, feta, and ranch – you can’t go wrong with this BLT-inspired salad! Wedge salads – they’re big chunks of iceberg with toppings thrown on top. I’ve always found this variety of salad to be intriguingly different. While…
Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta
For an Italian-inspired dinner, try this flavorful pasta dish that combines spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken. It’s fairly quick to put together and tastes as good as it looks! When I’m looking for dinner recipes to cook throughout the week, I look for three specific qualities: flavorful, quick, and healthy. Rarely do I find recipes that…
Recipe Roundup: 8 Healthy Chicken Recipes
Not sure if you’ve ever noticed, but my favorite foods to cook are either dessert or breakfast. Savory main dishes don’t come as naturally to me, which is why I’m always searching for new ideas and recipes online. Among the different meals I tend to make for dinner, chicken is probably the most common. It’s a…
Homemade Pizza Crust
As you may or may not know, Sunday is pizza night for us. 99.9% of the time, we make our own pizza, using my homemade pizza sauce and yeast-free pizza crust recipes, and it’s so friggin easy, guys. I don’t think people realize how easy making your own pizza can actually be, and it is…
Mediterranean Chicken & Veggie Kabobs
As promised on Wednesday in my favorite Mediterranean-inspired dishes, I’m sharing the killer kabob marinade recipe I made earlier this week. Now that we have a grill, I can make way more fun things, such as food on a stick (though I guess you can make it in an oven; it’s just less awesome). I’m…
Italian Meatballs Recipe
If I was living by myself and didn’t have a blog, there’s a good chance I wouldn’t cook half as much as I do. Blogging keeps me motivated to try new recipes, and Matt inspires me to try out new dishes so he doesn’t eat mac ‘n cheese and Spaghettios every day (fyi, he’s a…
White Cheddar Tuna Pasta with Bumble Bee Tuna
One of my goals for 2015 was to eat cleaner, and I figure an easy way to do this is to incorporate options like fish into my diet since it’s such a healthy food. For today’s post, I’m talking canned tuna, specifically, because it’s ridiculously nutritious and convenient. When trying to think of a dish…
Homemade Pizza Sauce
Last week, I shared my yeast-free pizza crust recipe. Now you’ve got the base and are ready for some sauce. Pizza sauce is my favorite part of the pizza. In my opinion, it’s what really takes the pizza to the next level. When I was younger, I would actually pick all the cheese off my…
Easy, Yeast-Free Pizza Crust
I have a recipe to share with you that has been a long time coming. Every Sunday evening, Matt and I have pizza for dinner. I’m not too thrilled about eating frozen pizzas all the time, though, so I often make my own homemade version to have more control over the ingredients. There’s one thing though:…
Turkey Ranch Enchiladas
Happy Monday morning! I have a recipe to share with you guys today that is centered around what some might call the best condiment/dipping sauce/dressing ever: ranch. It’s a bit concerning how good ranch is on such a wide variety of foods — chicken, fries, salads, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and so on. I’ve been experimenting…
