Because I recipe develop for a living, there are times at the end of the day that I just don’t feel like cooking.  That’s why I love having Curly’s® Pulled Chicken BBQ on hand to make this Curly’s BBQ Chicken Gyros. Curly’s BBQ comes in many different varieties, they even have sauceless versions too.  You can check out their store locator here to see if...

I know the recipe title black bean and quinoa cakes with shrimp and spinach chimichurri is long – but holy balls – this recipe is so good! The base of this recipe is again my friend Nicole’s black bean and quinoa burger mix.  Her recipe makes 6 burgers, but I use the filling for so many things. Yesterday for lunch I had some cilantro that...

Black bean and quinoa chili is so hearty and filling and good for you. The reason it is so good is because the base of the chili is from my friend Nicole’s black bean and quinoa burger recipe. This black bean and quinoa mixture is great not only for burgers, but I’ll be making several dishes from this filling this week.  While I love meal...

This shrimp lettuce cups with peanut sauce recipe is a great recipe to have on hand when you are low in points for the day. I realize that I am a condiment whore and if you are too, you probably have everything to make this. What should you look for in buying frozen shrimp? Unless you live near a body of water that has fresh...

This past weekend my friend Morgan and I did a whole night of Marion’s Kitchen recipes, including her spicy shrimp wontons. Morgan and I met on Instagram two years ago, and I am blessed to call her my friend.  We are foodie friends through and through and we miss dining in Chicago, so we decided to get together and cook some recipes together.  Marion’s Kitchen...

There is something so comforting about chopping veggies on a Sunday afternoon to make beef bolognese. Because I used Butcher Box ground beef (80/20) it is high quality and has such a richness flavor, you don’t need to use much, there is only 8 ounces of beef for 10 half cup servings. This sauce is so rich and delicious. Don’t be afraid to use 6...

I hope by now you know that you should at least double or triple your skinny pizza dough for the week if for no other reason to be able to make this breakfast pizza. It has a skinny sausage gravy for the base, crispy potatoes, eggs, cheese and “fried” potato skins on top – #swoon. Please meal prep potatoes for the week too.  They make...

Healthy Chicken Costco Bake Recipe Until yesterday, I had never heard of Costco Chicken Bake.  But I received a dozen requests to make a healthy Costco chicken bake and here we are! One of my favorite things to do is lighten up recipes, but not just to make them lower calorie and points – flavor has to be amazing as well or why bother. My...

Skinny pizza dough strikes again . . . Detroit Pizza Style! Here’s the thing though.  I’ve never had Detroit Pizza.  My friend Erica said “you’ve never had Jet’s Pizza?”  Turns out the closest one is 15 miles away.  She told me to try the bold pepperoni with turbo crust.  Interesting!   What makes it a Detroit Pizza? Detroit pizza is made in deep pans.  Since I...

Broccoli cheese soup was my go to choice at Panera.  Hannah used to work there and I’ve talked about how I envisioned her making this soup from scratch. Sadly, she told me that all the soups came frozen and all they did was reheat them at the store.  Bummer! Let’s talk about this mini bread bowl.  At first I thought it was useless because it...
