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…
There are times that you need a side dish that is simple and quick to prepare. Hashbrowns are definitely one of those easy side dishes. I’m kinda surprised that people opt to buy the frozen variety so often because they are actually very easy to make and with no chemical additives in the homemade kind, they are much healthier for you too! When I first created this recipe,…
This summer has been a very busy one for me. And yet I want to make sure that I’m eating real, whole foods and not relying on fast or convenience foods. So grilling out packet meals like this Greek chicken packet meal has become my “go-to” meal idea for the summer. And I love how easy it is to throw this together and grill it up. I don’t…

I absolutely adore overnight oatmeal…
I fondly remember making foil packet meals when I went camping as a child, so I am excited to share this chicken and veggies foil packet meal recipe with you! Ah, the temperatures are really starting to heat up now that it’s June here in sunny South Carolina! We’re already seeing days with temperatures in the 90’s! Of course, that means that I really don’t want to turn…
It is really quite interesting how your tastes change over the years. Only a few years ago, I would’ve stuck my nose up at the thought of this blueberry chicken spinach salad. Truly, I would have. Blueberries, chicken, spinach, feta cheese, and a honey and apple cider vinaigrette may seem strange to some. But over the past couple of years, I have been trying food combinations that wouldn’t…
I admit that I spent decades eating far too many frozen dinners and fast food. But I discovered how amazing it is to cook using real, whole ingredients. Cooking from scratch is so much more flavorful than what I was eating before. And so I learned how to really savor what I was eating. At the same time, I enjoy maximizing my time and so I want to…

I just had to share this fizzy lemonade recipe with you. It’s perfect for the recovering soft drinkers out there! Have you ever had one of those days when you just want something bubbly to drink? I have those moments regularly! There is just something about the fizz and bubbles that delight my tongue. And I will be the first to admit that I used to drink a…
Sometimes a girl just has to have some chocolate. Of course, when that urge strikes me, I want to try to make a chocolate treat that is not filled with unsavory ingredients. This chocolate avocado pudding really fits the bill. Chocolate is rich in minerals like magnesium (and when we are deficient, many people crave chocolate to get more). The avocado provides some wonderful, healthy fat. And it…
