There is only one thing that I don’t love about Fall – that it is followed by Winter. Seriously, how cruel is that? This amazing time of year comes and goes way too fast, so… Continue reading Stuffed Pepper Casserole

Italian Sausage + Kale Soup
When I was still little but old enough to make my own plates at family gatherings, I would always pile my plate high. Everything looked so delicious. I could surely fit it all in my stomach, couldn’t it? Well, each and every time, I would take my barely touched plate over to my dad who… Continue reading Italian Sausage + Kale Soup
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Thank goodness for my husband. Friday night, I was enjoying some Angry Orchard cider while planning out this weekend’s meal prep.

Main Event Meal Prep + Prosciutto Pizza!
This week’s meal prep was really about versatile meals – I chose three different proteins and three different sides, two salads, and two “main event” dishes. This way, we have mix and match type meals to last a few days, which will keep the meals from getting boring! Five hours in the kitchen yielded some… Continue reading Main Event Meal Prep + Prosciutto Pizza!
Mediterannean Chicken Dish
One of the first meals, maybe even “the” first meal I ever made for my husband was diced tomatoes with zucchini, squash and mushrooms. I had cooked for him before of course but only the easy no brainer stuff, and even then… I usually screwed it up – spaghetti, hamburger helper, toasted cheese sandwiches. That… Continue reading Mediterannean Chicken Dish
