Not all Valentine eats have to be treats! These 3 Ingredient Beet Gnocchi are perfectly festive to serve as a Valentine’s Day lunch or dinner. I’ve made gnocchi a handful of times before. In fact, I’ve made THIS very gnocchi before.
The thing I love about this gnocchi is that it’s so easy to make, especially compared to other gnocchi recipes out there. This one takes a whopping 3 whole ingredients and just about 10 minutes of hands on rolling, cutting, preparing.

Soup, soup, soup! It’s all about the soup right now.
Winter is upon us, and while our winter here in Texas is mild for the most part so far… it’s still a little chili outside. And nothing warms the body, mind, and soul quite as well as a hearty bowl of homemade soup!
Since I’ve had tortellini on the mind lately, I thought I’d try to make an Italian inspired tortellini soup today. It starts off with some turkey Italian sausage and a broth tomato base that we add more veggies too. Like onion, garlic, and spinach too!…

Yeah, so... I might be on vacation, but that doesn't stop this work engine from running. I really wanted to get at least one recipe out during the week of my being gone. So whilst in the midst of packing and sorting and getting ready, I was also busy in the kitchen. Okay. Not really busy. This Minestrone soup is delicious, simple, tradtional, and couldn't be any more quick or easy to make.
One of my favorite things about this soup, is that it's a great way to use up leftovers from the fridge or pantry. Any of the vegetables or noodles or beans can be swapped out for nearly any alternative that you might have on hand…

An old recipe, but a good one that I just recently updated with some new photos and also a quicker way to cook these meatballs in an Instant Pot too!
This has been a favorite of mine for a long time now. Ridiculously easy? Yep.
This recipe that's a healthy take on an old classic. Flavorful turkey meatballs simmering in thick hearty tomato sauce all day long to cook. Who needs the pre-made bottles off the shelf? Not this girl.
Everything's bigger in Texas, right? I kept the size of these meatballs rather large since I have some fun plans for the leftovers. And the sauce? Oh, yes. The. Sauce. This is amazing stuff right here…

Okay, so there really isn't enough good things that I can say about this soup. I actually made my first attempt at this soup a few years ago. Long before I originally posted it here. My in-laws were in town and I knew that this soup from a well-known restaurant happened to be one of my father-in-laws' favorites. Since he's a health-conscious individual such as myself, I thought it would be fun to try my hand at making a healthier version of it for him.
I hadn't had the soup before, so I couldn't say at the time if it was anything similar to the one that he was used to, but he did have a couple of bowls of it for dinner! Me? I was anything but a fan. Why? One word. Kale.
Yes, I've ranted on before about my strange love/hate relationship with kale. And, this is basically where the hate part of that started...

I know you remember that Guiltless Cauliflower Alfredo from the other day, right? Well, here's one of my favorite things to do with it. The idea for these Skinny Italian Nachos is a take-out fake-out from a big name chain.
Of course, mine are homemade, not fried, and socked full of hidden vegetable goodies. Making all the more wholesome and better-for-you in almost every single way possible...
