    Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

    July 9, 2019 - By 

    Eating whole, healthy foods doesn’t mean that you have to spend hours and hours in the kitchen. And using the crockpot is the perfect way to ensure that you can have a healthy meal without slaving over a hot oven all day. I particularly love using the slow cooker for a recipe like this whole chicken! It means that I can make an easy healthy meal without heating my kitchen during the summer months. Living in South Carolina being able to do that is huge for me! I avoid using my oven whenever possible. My house is only 1100 sq…

    Chicken Wet Burrito for Two

    October 28, 2018 - By 

    Have you ever had a chicken wet burrito? This is one of my very favorite recipes ever! So yummy! When I moved down to South Carolina I discovered that most people here had never heard of a wet burrito. It just wasn’t a common food here. Of course, where I grew up in Michigan we had a couple of wonderful restaurants that served wet burritos. They were absolutely delicious! In fact, every time someone in the family goes to visit relatives up in Michigan, they have to stop and get dinner at the Beltline Bar…our favorite burrito place! A while…

    Carolina Gold Barbeque Chicken

    August 8, 2018 - By 

    I absolutely love barbeque….especially vinegar and mustard-based barbeque that is so popular here in South Carolina. So one of the things that I wanted to do was to create a great slow cooker recipe that combines a good Carolina Gold mustard/vinegar sauce with some chicken. It made a delightful barbeque chicken recipe that I have made many more times since! And although you could use whole chicken breast and leave them whole, I prefer to create a pulled chicken recipe that can be served over rice or as a sandwich. You can actually use pork for this recipe and it…

    Turkey Apple and Cranberry Stuffed Pumpkins

    November 16, 2017 - By 

    Have you ever thought to try stuffed pumpkins with savory filling for a meal? You should! I will admit that growing up and even as an adult I didn’t really eat a lot of pumpkin. In fact, the only time that pumpkin was even served was on Thanksgiving Day…and that was a pumpkin pie. And as a child, I didn’t really like pumpkin pie. We didn’t really eat a lot of winter squash in general. I didn’t even eat acorn or butternut squash for the first time until a few years ago. But In the past few years, I have…

    Do you ever struggle to find good lunch ideas? I will admit that sometimes I do! Especially eating grain-free! It’s not like I can go and just fix myself a sandwich, right? So I’ve had to get creative with what I’m eating and come up with some new takes on some classic lunch ideas like this easy egg salad! We all know the egg salad sandwich, but when I eat it, I actually eat it on cucumber slices….yum! You could also dip some celery in and eat it that way as well! Want to make a grain-free egg salad sandwich?…
