This 5 ingredient Creamy Chicken and Rice with Mushrooms came together in under 30 minutes. It’s gluten and dairy free, filling, and really, really tasty.

Tuesday is my regular grocery day, so on Monday I like to go through the fridge and try to use up as much as I can. And this vegetable curry is the perfect way to do that. Simple process, simple ingredients...and a great way to get lots of veggies into your meals. Serve it as a main dish with an added protein or throw an egg on it and call it breakfast...it’s versatile, nourishing and full of flavor!

I was not a fish stick fan as a kid , but my kids love them. And this gluten free baked version brought me over to the other side and has become a staple in our house.

Yesterday at lunchtime I was craving veggies, and I had a lot of ‘em, so I wrapped them all up in a @mariaandricardos organic whole wheat tortilla.

It’s officially back to school in this household and the past week flew by with last minute shopping, meet the teacher, lunch prepping, etc, etc. And the last thing on my mind this week has been complicated and involved dinners. Enter what I have now dubbed “Pot-achos”. So easy and so delicious. These are great for a simple dinner, but will certainly be making regular appearances during football season!

Holy cow 🐄, this Burger Bar might be the best thing we have ever come up with. What a fun way to let people at your gathering create their perfect burger topping combination! 

Snapped a quick picture of my post-workout lunch today: Tuna Avocado toast! I love whipping this together when I’m having a busy day, because it takes no time at all. It can also be made in the morning to take to work. It’s filling, flavorful, healthy, and easy… what more could you ask for?

This mahi mahi topped with mango/coconut relish was so simple to put together, but restaurant quality all the way. I served it simply with rice and sautéed kale and the whole meal paired perfectly with a dry Grüner Veltliner...this is back on the menu for a dinner party I have coming up, and I can’t wait! 

Who loves a fresh tomato? 🙋‍♀️ Definitely one of my favorite times of the summer when the tomatoes are abundant. And while I’m using them raw any which way I can, cooking up a simple, rustic tomato sauce with other fresh veggies may be one of my favorite ways to use them up.

I went on a mission to find tikka masala sauce that was GF, dairy free, low sodium, few ingredients and low in calories. I found one that checked almost every box, except for the dairy free part, which I considered a win.

This cauliflower rice bowl was inspired by the rice bowl from Gan Shan West in West AVL. At the restaurant it was simple and delicious, and I knew it would be great meal to recreate at home and add to my summer rotation. It did not disappoint. It’s versatile, veggies can be prepped ahead to throw this bowl together for lunches throughout the week and it is packed with flavor and texture.

Looking for a super simple dinner that’s ready in 15 minutes? This Shrimp, Sausage, and Broccoli Stir Fry is one of my weeknight favorites. It’s six ingredients, takes 15 minutes total, and is great if you’re wanting to eat clean.

Here is a great chicken recipe for the weekend! Beer can whole chicken cooked on the grill…a smoky and sweet flavor profile, crispy skin, tender, juicy meat and an EASY process = a perfect combination.

These are fairytale eggplants and if you can find them at your local farmers market, you MUST try them. They are small (no bigger than my hand), have a delicate, non-bitter flavor and cook to a perfectly creamy texture.

Today’s tacos include buffalo cauliflower, pineapple, jalapeños, cilantro, and a simple lime crema. They are gluten/dairy free, and could easily be made vegan.

Summertime heat has me avoiding the oven and stove top as much as possible, so the grill, slow cooker and instant pot have been my friends this summer, and this Instant Pot Orange Chicken from www.littlebitsof.com is a winner.

I love spice blends, but I don’t love the additives that often come in the grocery store variety. So I make them on my own because having several different kinds on hand keeps meals from being boring and repetitive.

“Crab Boil” night is a tradition on our beach trips, because 1) it’s delicious & 2) it feeds a large crowd.

Thank you to Cheryl from 40 aprons for creating this recipe! Only five ingredients are needed and it takes only 15 minutes to prepare... talk about easy. In addition, it's spicy, flavorful, and fulfills my southern comfort food craving when I'm having one.
