Things are pretty crazy around here right now as I'm sure it is everywhere else. Somewhere between schedules, fitness, and seasonal changes, I seem to have gotten lost and have little to no spare time. With cooler weather starting to roll in, the light changing, and the days getting shorter, I'm all the more ready for fall and the peace and comfort that comes with it. Bring it on.
What puts you more in the mood for fall than a nice warm bowl of soup? Not just any soup though, but cheesy wonderful soup! This broccoli cheese soup is comfort food at it's finest. It's so easy to toss together, tastes amazing, and is full of vegetables. That's right, full of vegetables...
Easy Ratatouille & Cheesy Parmesan Polenta (Crock Pot)
So, I've been on the hunt for a good way of making ratatouille lately. I had tried it many many years back when I was a brand new mother. But, it didn't turn out at all the way that I had wanted. It soured my opinion on ratatouille and eggplant for years to come. Eggplant is not my most favorite vegetable, but ratatouille is one way that I will eat it.
I think that I'll eat almost anything if it's got pasta sauce and/or zucchini involved.
A few weeks back, I had tried this recipe out while my grandmother was still visiting. It got rave reviews from around the table. As it turns out, I got an eggplant and an acorn squash in my most recent local produce box, and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Another ratatouille!...
Read MoreKota Kokinisti (Stewed Chicken)
This is one of the best chicken dishes I think I've ever had. Seriously. It's one of my new favorites and I'm pretty sure it'll go into 'regular rotation' now. For such a rich and hearty dish, you'd be surprised to know that it is gluten-free, clean and especially lean - coming in right at 300 calories.
Now, mine did require a bit of babysitting but that's because I cooked mine for way longer than the initial hour needed to cook the chicken through. In fact, I left mine to sit for a few hours, which only boosted the already amazing flavors...
Read MoreStuffed Breakfast Peppers
I've made Baked Egg and Avocado Bowls before, which are amazing, but I am also a fan of stuffed peppers. So, I figured... why not use the same idea and stuff peppers as a healthy low cab breakfast option? Of course!
These peppers are super easy to toss together and taste great. I was a little surprised with how filling and satisfying these were. I'm generally a carbivore in the morning.
Yes. That's right. A carbivore.
You know, similar to a carnivore... but with carbs rather than meat.
Shameful, I know. But... at least I'm honest!...
Read MoreSkinny Greek Chicken Kabobs
I love greek food, and I don't cook it often enough. I'm not sure why either. Just another of those things that escapes me in the kitchen for one reason or another.
Lately I've been in the mood to go back and make my Skinny Greek Feta Dip again. Because... let's face it. Who doesn't love to have an excuse to eat feta? I managed to find my excuse with these perfectly de{light}ful kabobs...
Read MoreCrock Pot Guinness French Onion Soup & Irish Cheddar Crouton
I spent the day revising this recipe after I had some similar comments regarding the amount of vinegar and beer being too harsh for some. I think everyone will enjoy the new final copy even more than the previous one!
I've kept the same basic recipe with a few minor adjustments and fine-tuning... since I don't want anyone to be displeased with anything they try here (within reason of course.)
Hello, gorgeous... mmm... melted irish cheddar...
