Yep!  Another delicata squash recipe!  Can’t Stop Won’t Stop.  😂. This stuffed delicata squash clicks all the boxes – easy, meaty and delicious! A few years ago I had a zucchini burger slider that went viral on all kinds of keto websites, IG pages, etc.  For some reason people thought my blog was keto/paleo, etc.  One woman even told me she loved me because now...

Black Bean Chili with Sweet Potatoes This black bean chili with sweet potatoes will be your go to chili recipe for Meatless Monday.  As of December 2024, the new Weight Watchers plan changed, so now this chili is ZERO points!  Better yet, I added one pound of 90/10 beef to this chili and its still ZERO POINTS!  Winning. How to make this vegan? Use sweet...

These chicken souvlaki pita sandwiches are my new favorite sandwich.  One reason is that after marinating the chicken, this comes together in less than 15 minutes! Is this a traditional chicken souvlaki?  I am not sure, all I know is that it’s delicious. The star of the show?  The pan fried lemon! Once cooked for about 2-3 minutes per side, the lemon rind becomes super...

Am I the only one that can never cook the right amount of pasta without having five cups leftover?  That’s how this goat cheese pasta with meatballs came about. I am the leftover queen!  A quick search in my fridge and I found an unopened goat cheese.  Then I pulled out the leftover pasta, some flour, and almond milk. One way I save on groceries...

I love all things buffalo! My timehop reminded me that I made these buffalo chicken bombs a year ago, but there was no recipe. Gah! So I recreated it this morning with leftover grilled chicken from our cooking class earlier this week.  Side note, you can also cook this buffalo chicken in the air fryer at 370 for 8-10 minutes. This is so simple and...

Asian Zing Chicken Nuggets The Asian Zing sauce is one of my favorite sauces at Buffalo Wild Wings.  My Asian Zing Chicken Nuggets will taste as if you are sitting at the restaurant! My only complaint is that sometimes the sauce was a bit too sweet for me – and then I would add for buffalo sauce to balance it – ha! Copycat Asian Zing...

These Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches worked out on the first try.  Whew! Once a month I provide dinner for a group home with ten teenage boys.  I had the idea to make french dip sandwiches but lot’s or recipes I saw online called for a shit ton of onions.  No thank you.  😂 What kind of beef should you use for french dip sandwiches?...

This zucchini lasagna with pork ragu tastes as if I simmered the sauce for days instead of 20 minutes. This is another recipe that came together using what I had on hand.  Several months ago I bought pork stew meat thinking I’d make some sort of stew in the cold weather.  But now it’s almost summer weather and I decided to grind up the stew...

This Nashville hot shrimp and grits recipe will be a great recipe to have in your back pocket when you are short on time. It’s ready in about ten minutes and you don’t need to pull the air fryer or deep fryer out.  Winning! What is Nashville Hot? Unlike buffalo sauce, Nashville Hot is all dry seasoning with the star ingredient usually being cayenne Pepper. ...

 Spicy Black Bean Soup Recipe I posted this spicy black bean soup in my newsletter.  Only two things – I never uploaded the photo of it, and I had a typo in the recipe. So instead of fixing the newsletter and resending it to thousands of people, I am posting it here and on IG. This literally is the best black bean soup recipe I’ve...
