Chinese food is my weakness. It just tastes soooooo good. All that salt, and MSG, and unprouneable ingredients…man they taste delicious. It’s also good because it’s soooo easy to get. Pick up your phone (you were probably already holding it), call the closet Chinese restaurant to you, place an order to feed 8 (even though there… Continue reading Paleo Orange Chicken and Cauliflower Rice
These Whole30 recipes I’m finding are wayyyyy better than I thought they were going to be. Mark went to get a second helping tonight (aka finish the rest of the meal) and I freaked out and said “wait split that with me!!!!”. #thatgood. There were no carb-y noodles harmed in this dish either. It was… Continue reading Thai Chicken with Spicy Peanut Sauce
This is officially day 6 of doing Whole30. I should clarify this though, Mark is doing Whole30, not me. I’m pregnant and like pretzels too much. But, I am cooking all his meals, so I do participate, then. Because I’m pregnant and I don’t want to spend extra time cooking other things. Lots of things… Continue reading Sweet Potato Toast – Whole30
I’ve been spending all my free moments pintrest-ing and etsy-ing up my life for inspiration for baby girl’s nursery! Which is beyond fun let me tell you. But it also means I haven’t spent a single moment looking up anything food related. But we still gotta eat. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity… Continue reading Kale Pesto Rice, Zaatar Grilled Chicken, and Sautéed Brussel Sprouts
Rarely do I want to mimic an ENTIRE meal from start to finish when I watch an episode of a cooking show. But this time, while watching Pioneer Women, I knew I had to. This woman is genius. A) I love salads. Any salad. B) I love chicken. Any kinda chicken. C) I love a… Continue reading Mexican Night Completed by Key Lime Pie
Holy moly this chicken was good. Before I dive into the chicken though, (see what I just did there?), let me just say, it’s pretty sad that one of those pre-made rotisserie chickens from the grocery store costs less than just cooking the damn thing yourself. No joke. Plus you have about 1.5 hours worth… Continue reading Roasted Chicken with Crusty Juicy Bread
This. This casserole was my all time FAVORITE dish that my mama used to make for us, for dinner, growing up. I’m not sure if it was a side dish or a main dish, but whatever it was, I LOVED it. I’m pretty sure she made it as a main dish. One of my favorite things about… Continue reading Rice, Corn, and Cheese Casserole
I always forget that I can do amazing things with watermelon when I buy it. Usually I’m just so exctited to cut it open and chop it up, that I end up consuming half the entire thing before I realize what happened. However, am I the only one who feels like they are playing Russian Roulette when… Continue reading Watermelon Feta Salad
Cobb Salads are like my favorite thing in the world. If we go out to eat, and I see a Cobb Salad on the menu, I WILL order it. That sounded aggressive, but that is how I feel about these things. Chicken, bacon, egg, blue cheese, avocado…how can you go wrong with any of these things. You… Continue reading BBQ Salmon Cobb Salad
The other weekend Mark and I went to a party/get together/dinner at a house here in Florida. The TPC Sawgrass PGA Golf Tour was going on, and this house we went to was on one of the courses used. Easily a million dollar home. It reminded me of houses in Pebble Beach, California. Which is where another… Continue reading Vegetable Casserole with Tofu Topping – Sounds Gross, But it’ll Change Your Life
