If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I am all about simple meals. I believe that you can eat healthy food that tastes good…but doesn’t force you to spend hours in the kitchen! I don’t want to spend all of my time there! This cheeseburger bowl recipe is simple and can be ready in less than 30 minutes! Recently, I’ve been seeing the bowl meal…
There’s nothing quite like a juicy burger….especially if you use fresh, pasture-raised beef. Homemade burgers are one of my summertime go-to meals because they are really simple to make. I like that I can make them on the stovetop or grill them. And I have this great countertop grill that I love to use! I’ve been wanting to experiment with some different flavors in my burgers. I wanted…
Some recipes just feel like home. This meatloaf recipe does for me. My mother made it regularly as I was growing up. And it’s funny that when I was a kid, it wasn’t my favorite meal. I just didn’t appreciate it much. I think I would rather have had pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs. But although I didn’t appreciate it so much when I was a child, I…
Let’s face it, cooking for one can be a challenge! I deal with that myself every single day! So many singles opt to grab fast food, restaurant takeout, or less than healthy convenience foods. But cooking for one can be easy. Especially when you have super simple recipes that you can turn to instead! I always recommend having 10-20 easy recipes that you can turn to that are…
I have been wanting to make a slow cooker pot roast for a very long time. But I just hadn’t gotten around to it. My main food motto is “No fuss, no muss” and I love things that are quick and simple, yet clean and healthy. When I saw some roast on sale I knew that this was the time to try it out! Nothing like a good…
I will admit it…I am a sucker for Italian food. Because I have a great spaghetti sauce recipe, I just had to modify a fabulous recipe for Italian meatballs that I got from the Mom of one of my old college friends. I wanted to make it a little more whole food-based. I also wanted to replace the bread crumbs that are typically in a meatball recipe and make…
Who doesn’t love sloppy joes? They make a perfect casual meal or can be a great simple meal for family gatherings, or when you have a group get-together. But most recipes for sloppy joes really can feed a family…or small army! My mom used to make them for casual dinners as well as for when we had family and friends come together for laid-back events. Of course, back…
Cooking real food does NOT need to mean that you should spend hours in the kitchen. And this chicken cacciatore for the slow cooker is proof of that! I am on a mission to show singles that they don’t have to live on takeout food and frozen dinners! You can have healthy, yummy, and delicious meals without having to be a gourmet chef and spending tons of time…
I was really craving Sloppy Joes today and so decided to make some….whole food style! My family always loved making Sloppy Joes when we would get together on the weekend. They are pretty simple to make and taste amazing. And it’s easy to pair them with some chips or homemade potato salad for an easy meal. And when getting the whole family together, easy is always a good…
Last night I wanted to fix something from south of the border. But at the same time, I wanted to try something different. So the filling for these black bean and ground beef tacos was perfect…and different than just a ground beef taco filling. Adding the beans also added some great fiber as well as stretching the meal a bit! The result was absolutely fabulous! These black bean…
