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...

We are at the point of winter where one foot is still in cold weather, but we can see spring in the horizon.  This beef and carrots with gravy dish is perfect for this time of year. Next time you go grocery shopping, look for beef chuck boneless eye steak.  It’s super economical at around $4 – $5 a pound.  It does have a bit...

Reuben sandwiches are hands down my favorite sandwich, so I obviously love Reuben pizza. My first attempt at a Reuben pizza was in January of 2010.  You can check out that post here and awe at the amazing food photography.  #not For years I thought close up food photography was where it was at.  My friend Morgan and I talk about that all the time. ...

For some reason I woke up this morning and had a taste for apple waffles.  Best idea evah! Now I have breakfast for the week already worked out – love meal prep Sunday. Making my plate sweet and savory was also the best idea.  I have the apple strawberry sauce in the recipe card below. Because I used oats for most of the flour, the...

Mapo Tofu Recipe I don’t think I have ever tried Mapo Tofu before.   This dish has such a depth of flavor, promise you’ll love it.  And tofu is zero Weight Watchers points. Mariano’s hosted a Phoenix Bean tofu virtual cooking class, but my Cooking Club was the same night so I wasn’t able to attend. My friend Amanda sent me the recipe and at first...
