Kicking off a new #foodieFriday series with this cold and crisp beverage that you're going to want to try just as soon as you can get to the store and back. Or maybe you already have these four, yes, just four, ingredients at home!
Read MoreI recently learned, via The Daniel Plan, the french term mise en place. This simply means "everything in its place". This is put into action by gathering all your ingredients together in a central location BEFORE you start cooking. This saves time and energy while you're in the thick of it.
Read MoreThis meal was admittedly a little out of my comfort zone. Had I not enjoyed it at a friend's house first, I probably would've shied away from a meal that included coconut milk and cauliflower. I'm so glad I didn't! This dish is decadent, favorable, and 100% satisfying. It would be a great one to make when having company over for the holidays!
Read MoreIt's not too often that I do a post on desserts, but when you find a sweet treat that can feed about 10 people for just $7, it's GOT to be shared!
Read MoreEnchiladas were pretty daunting to me. I didn't know I could make "red sauce" at home or if I could get the tortilla shells to stay in place, or if everything would taste decent once I baked it, but it all worked and was very yummy!
Read MoreJust when I feel like maybe I've hit a rut in the kitchen, BAM! Spicy Lemon Basil Chicken! It's easy, it's inexpensive, and it's decadent! That lemon/basil/garlic combo is a real winner y'all.
Read MoreIf you're looking for a simple gluten free breakfast, here it is! This recipe is straight from the Daniel Plan Cookbook. We ate LOTS of this when we were strictly following the guidelines from the Daniel Plan and still have it every other week or so. Neither of us are big fans of oatmeal, but when I make it this way, I actually enjoy it! Some of that enjoyment comes from knowing I've started the day off with a healthy meal. Doing that spurs on good habits the rest of the day too doesn't it?
Read MoreMy taste for smoothies comes and goes, especially in the winter. Waking up to eat a frozen breakfast isn't very appetizing when it's a total of 10 degrees outside! Summertime is the time for smoothies in my opinion, but my body doesn't need fruit only in the summer, so I have been trying to dump a bunch in my Ninja blender a few times a week this winter
Read MoreAh tacos. Few things make a house smell better than taco meat on the stove, am I right?! I know I'm right. What makes them even better?! When you can feast on them knowing that they are actually doing your body GOOD! This version of taco meat is full of veggies and free of chemicals!
Read MoreTalk about a hardy winter meal! I felt all full and warm just making this roast! We got our first snow last weekend and luckily I had made it to the store in time to get the ingredients for this delicious crock-pot recipe. Food City may have been running low on milk and bread, but they had plenty of Boston Butt's for me to choose from! I guess pork isn't a "snow staple" for most folks. We don't eat much pork around here, but when we do, it's exquisite!
