This black bean and sausage stew is so delicious and it’s crazy how flavorful it is with only 20 minutes in an instant pot. I was watching Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix.  He was in Brazil and he was eating a dish called feijoada.  It’s a classic dish from Brazil and typically uses, let’s say, less used ingredients like pigs ears and feet. I went...

  If you haven’t tried pumpkin bisque, you are really missing out. It screams fall! I bought a small pie pumpkin, called a sugar pumpkin and had a small butternut squash and decided to use both in this soup. Can you roast vegetables in an air fryer? Yep! This is the best part of this recipe, you just air fry the pumpkin and butternut squash...

Pumpkin Chicken Chili Recipe I know pumpkin chicken chili sounds weird, but this is an amazing chili. My friend Ally (here is here blog!) recently came out with an eCookbook and I immediately bought it.  She had a recipe for a beef pumpkin chili and since I was using stuff I had on hand, subbed in ground chicken for the beef.  I grind my own...

My friend Bobby from FlavCity has SO many recipes.  I got his keto cookbook last year and I made a few dishes right off the bat. But like most things in life, it got put to the side and I recently rediscovered it. I made his Spicy Beef Lettuce Cups – I followed his recipe exactly for the beef filling (sans onions!) and made a...

This post is being updated in June 2024.  So you will get turkey burger sliders two ways! First up is my 1 WW point turkey burgers.  These are perfect on those nights when you don’t have many WW points left, and these pack almost 40 grams of protein.  Serve in lettuce wraps with your favorite toppings.  Feel free to use your favorite BBQ seasoning with...

Pasta Frittata is a simple dish that can made with any pasta or veggies. Bucatini pasta is pasta that has a tiny hole in the middle and it’s bronze cut, which means it has extra texture on the outside and held all that delicious cheesy sauce together. What is Hearts of Palm Pasta? It’s not pasta.  Yes, it looks like pasta, but it will never...

Happy Friday!  I love finding inspiration online, and my friend Erica pointed me to an Instagrammer who I recently started to follow, and she said “Biz you have to make these!”  They are like pasta birds nests! I decided to switch her recipe up just a bit – I subbed in one cup cooked pasta and one package of Natural Heaven Hearts of Palm Spaghetti. ...

These KFC Chicken Nuggets will quickly make it to the top of your “must make” recipe list. One of my strongest food memories is visiting my grandparents in Warsaw, Virginia, then driving the what seemed like far distance to the “big town” of Tappahannock and getting Kentucky Fried Chicken.  I loved everything about it.  The crispy spicy chicken, the mashed potatoes and gravy and don’t...

Kung Pao Sloppy Joes You will love these Weight Watchers friendly kung pao sloppy joes! Today is Day 1 of working from home.  I normally get up between 6:20 and 6:45.  Which means my alarm is set for 6:20 but I don’t actually get up until 6:45 after hitting snooze three times! Today I woke up at 7:45.  Jacob works from home so the coffee...

This white summer pizza will be a hit at your next get together or just for a stay at home Friday night - Alouette brie cheese with corn, shredded yellow zucchini and fresh basil - swoon!
