Roasted Veggie Alfredo

So a year ago I would have taken a recipe with homemade things in it, and just bought the premade stuff instead. This time, I did the opposite. Here is the original recipe. Instead of frozen veggies, I used fresh (from the farmer's market!). And instead of jarred alfredo sauce I made my own...out of …

Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

I'm getting good at making things without a recipe now. This one was inspired by something I saw on pinterest forever ago...but I didn't even glance at the recipe before whipping it up the other night. I also didn't measure anything so I can't even make my own recipe for it. But it's easy. Here's …

Happy Fall!

I believe the first official day of fall is tomorrow. But I am in bed slightly under the weather, sipping a pumpkin smoothie this morning, and what says fall more than pumpkin flavored things and colds? Also I had quite the fall-tastic weekend. I got carried away a bit since it was still in the …

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes

This is long overdue since I made these last weekend, but I've been in Chicago all week (post on that will follow shortly). These were pretty yummy. I had lots of blueberries to use up before my trip so they wouldn't go bad. And since I love making pancakes on the weekends I tried blueberry …

Baked Brown Sugar Chicken And Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

So this meal was a winner. Baked Brown Sugar ChickenCauliflower Mac and CheeseI prepped the chicken in the morning and put in a freezer bag in the fridge for the day. I halved the recipe but I should not have halved the spices...I barely had enough and the chicken was rather boring compared to the expectations …

Enchiladas

This is way overdue. But I've been keeping up with blogging my dinners lately so I don't want to stop now. Last weekend I had my parents over for dinner and made them Enchiladas. I feel like I've already talked about that, but what I didn't share was what I did with the extra taco …

Pancakes and Muffins

Confession: I'm in love with breakfast food. Thursday I made some banana bread muffins. I adapted a recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie (great blog for healthy desserts)...I made them whole wheat (just replaced flour with whole wheat flour) and replaced the sugar with an equal amount of Honey. They were so good I've been eating them for dessert …

Weeks #3 and #4

So I never blogged last week's meals for several reasons: 1) I only took pictures of dinner and 2) dinner was spaghetti. Not impressive. Though I did nail mom's meatball recipe (again)...this time using ground turkey though. Still just as tasty in my opinion!Lunch I tried something new but it wasn't something I wanted to …

Weekend Recap

So I would have ideally wrote this last night. But I ran out of time and motivation. I am JUST about finished getting all settled into my new place. I have been unpacking/cleaning/organizing on a daily basis for the last 2 weeks. My couch and recliner are coming Thursday so once they're here and I …

Week #2 Meals

So If you read last week's post you'll know that I'm trying this new meal plan schedule where I basically do as much prepping/cooking as I can at the beginning of the week and then eat the same things for each meal every day (for about 4 or 5 days of the week...so not EVERY …
