This healthy KFC bowl recipe will soon be a family favorite! My original recipe used natural heaven mashed hearts of palm with canned mashed potatoes to make the mash for this dish.  To make this dish even easier, I simply use prepared mashed potatoes that you find in the refrigerator section of your grocery store. What are the ingredients in a KFC bowl? Mashed potatoes...

Potato and Sausage Frittata This potato and sausage frittata is a great meal prep recipe AND a great way to use up veggies at the end of the week. Do you make a frittata in the oven or on the stovetop? You can do either method, but I prefer the oven method.  It’s kind of like “set it and forget it.”  I used baby spinach...

These healthy ice cream sandwiches will be on repeat when you realize how easy they are to make. The reason I made these was because my Mom gave me THE BEST ice cream sandwiches I’ve ever had for Christmas.  They are from a brand called Nightingale from Richmond, VA – you can buy them from Goldbelly if you have a special occasion to purchase them. ...

Instant Pot Potato Soup For some reason I don’t take advantage of my Instant Pot as much as I should.  This Instant Pot Potato Soup was so easy and delicious!  And as of December 2024 with the new Weight Watchers change, its ZERO POINTS!  Whoop!  Add a touch of extra cheese and bacon bits on top. Sunday night I normally go through my pantry/fridge and...

Spicy Beef Chili No one will know that there is ground turkey or tons of veggies in this spicy beef chili and only two Weight Watchers points! When I was in Atlanta at my friend Carla’s Weight Watchers meeting, a woman weighing in after her first week said “I am so sick of chicken and turkey!”  So I asked her “they why not eat some...

After a few days traveling I contemplated hitting up Burger King on my way home.  Then I remembered I had frozen cherry tomatoes and this tomato soup was ready in 30 minutes. Seriously, I don’t know why my brain goes to junk food when I don’t have a plan or travel.  I have to remember it’s not my birthday every day – ha! Can you...

The star of these muffins is the Safe + Fair Gingerbread Cooking granola.  Right now they are on sale – the combo of the Gingerbread Cookie and Chocolate Candy Cane are bundled for only $11.00 for both.  Use my discount Biz20 at Safe + Fair and...

This beef stew has so many vegetables in it, but since that mixture is pureed, no one will know! My Mom made the best beef stew growing up, but I remember her putting onions in the beef gravy.  You know I’ve always given onions the stink eye.  Of course I would complain about the onions and my Mom would say “you can’t even taste them!”...

Chia Cottage Cheese Pancakes These chia cottage cheese pancakes are so light and fluffy.  Best part is that you probably already have the ingredients on hand! My mantra last year was to waste less.  I’ve decided to start out my new year using up ingredients that I have on hand.  A quick look of my pantry and fridge, I found chia seeds, oats and cottage...

This grilled standing rib roast will be the star of your next BBQ! How do you grill a standing rib roast? We fortunately had very mild weather this Christmas so I decided to grill our standing rib roast.  The roast is still on sale at Mariano’s until December 28 – only $6.77 a pound! The secret to cooking any cut of beef is to know...
