A few weeks ago I used the grill for the first time in my life. I do 98% of the cooking around here so I have always left the 2% grilling to Matt. Plus the grill legitimately terrifies me. Anyway, I had my pork perfectly marinaded and my peach salsa ready to go…just needed Matt …

Last night I threw together the most delicious and healthy dinner — turkey lettuce wraps. Most of the lettuce wrap recipes out there consist of 394583454 ingredients and I just don’t have time for that on a Monday night (or ever). This recipe has minimal ingredients and took me less than 20 minutes to make. …
I recently pulled one of my favorite recipes from my archives — Avocado Chicken Salad. I love how versatile this salad is. You can top a bed of arugula with a scoop of this delicious salad, wrap it up or eat it straight from the bowl. And it lasts for days in the fridge without …
Dinner was SO good tonight that I couldn’t wait to post it! You must make it! MUST! It may look complicated but I promise it’s super simple! After I plated the meal Matt commented that our dinner looked straight out of a gourmet restaurant. Five stars. So good. Grilled Citrus Tuna Steak with Avocado & …
One of the keys to keeping our sanity during the work week is meal prep. This includes breakfast. For a while I was making egg sandwiches, then switched to breakfast wraps, and am now obsessed with breakfast bowls ever since our Whole30 challenge. I can eat the same breakfast every day but I try to …
Coming in hot with another recipe using the crockpot hack! The kids were out of school yesterday for Teacher Workday and I attempted to catch up on work from home, leaving me very little time to cook any sort of meal that involved more than dumping a few ingredients into a crockpot. So early yesterday …
We made it to our very last week of Whole30! Thank goodness. As much as we love this diet we are definitely starting to fall off the bandwagon a bit (ahem, weekends). Once this week is over I think we’ll transition to the paleo diet! We have been really happy with our results though. We …
We just completed week 2 of Whole30 and have never felt better. Also, I cannot thank you all enough for the insane amount of emails I received with amazing recipes and tips. If you haven’t already, I highly suggest peeking at my Whole30 pin board as I’ve tried to collect all of the recipes that …
If you’re not doing Whole30, you may want to skip this post (even though these recipes are amazing even if you’re not doing Whole30). I literally scour the internet for HOURS to meal plan each week on this diet and have found posts like this extremely helpful. So today I’m sharing the meals we ate …
Last night I whipped up some Asian Chicken Noodle Soup. Before we get into the details I have to mention that if you don’t often cook Asian dishes this one may be a bit of an “investment” for your first batch. I didn’t own many of these ingredients and was a little sticker shocked as …
A few weekends ago I had a craving for white chicken enchiladas. I didn’t have a go-to recipe to make but I have been lucky enough to have two friends bring me their homemade white chicken enchiladas on various occasions. Both meals were amazing so naturally I texted them both, got their recipes and combined …
Scallops are on sale at the Harris Teeter this week so a few nights ago I scooped up a pound for dinner and waited for the kids to go to bed so Matt and I didn’t have to share them with our two little people. After a quick Pinterest search I found the perfect scallops …
