Drop the mic on this North Carolina Pork BBQ sandwich.  It ticks all the boxes for me:  juicy pork, with crispy bits, cheddar cheese, crisp red cabbage, pickles #swoon. I was told by quite a lot of people that my North Carolina BBQ sauce is actually a western style. North Carolina takes their BBQ very seriously, so since mine has ketchup (or tomato based) this...

These rainbow bagels were a food memory blast from the past.  I used to make rainbow bread for Hannah when she was little. My friend Sam posted about a place in Chicago called Taste of New York that had rainbow bagels, and I thought I needed to make a batch of rainbow bagels with my skinny pizza dough. Best decision evah! Now, this is a...

I am calling these Elvis pancakes because they have bananas, peanut butter AND bacon.  #swoon In 2017, I got a message from Premier Protein asking me if I wanted to work with them.   What?! I literally thought I had finally made it in the blogging world – someone actually wanted to work with me!  And not just in free product!  In case you want to...

Overnight Quinoa Oats Wow is all I can say about these overnight quinoa oats.  I never thought of doing that before but I picked up a bag of quinoa over the weekend with no idea for it. A few google searches later and I saw quinoa as overnight oats.  Huh.  I wasn’t sure I would like the texture of just quinoa, so I added quick...

These turkey burger parmesan sliders will soon go on your list of things to make.  If you think your family doesn’t like turkey burgers, I promise this recipe will convert them.

The depth of flavor of this consomme can’t be explained.  Like I wonder sometimes if it would...

I am going to go ahead and say it.  This acorn squash bisque may be my new favorite soup. It’s light, velvety – can I even say luxurious?!  And it’s so simple.  Roast two acorn squashes.  Throw everything in a blender.  Cook for 10 minutes.  Delish! I decided to make it more of a meal, and added spicy shrimp on top.  I would pay $15...

Broccoli Cheese Quiche Quiche is one of my favorite ways not only to meal prep for the week, but to use up leftover food in my fridge.  That is how I made this broccoli cheese quiche.  With bacon.  Everything is better with bacon! If you are new to WW, or looking for quick and easy dishes, this one clicks all the boxes.   Bacon bits can...

Last night I tried to make a cheaters version of birria consomme.  What I ended up making was homemade taco sauce! And I am not mad about it. I will try to make authentic birria soon though.  When my son-in-law saw that I added ketchup to my recipe I think his exact words were “you are not allowed to make Mexican food.”   What you need...
