This is for all you spicy food lovers out there! (All you non-spicy food lovers, don’t worry. You can also leave out the sriracha and crushed red pepper flakes and still have an absolutely delicious sauce!) I personally love spicy food. When given the option on a scale of 1 to 10 to choose my…

Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken, Sweet Potato & Quinoa Casserole (Freezer Meal option!!)
This is a staple. I mean it. This is a recipe I could make every. single. week…and sometimes do. It’s ridiculously easy, it can be made ahead as a freezer meal, and it’s balanced and healthy. I mean what more could you ask for? Don’t say I didn’t warn you when this one becomes a…
Rosemary & Truffle Mustard Pork Loin (in the Slow Cooker!)
A super easy main dish recipe with 10 ingredients? Count me in. This pork is SO FLAVORFUL and I attribute a lot of that to the truffle mustard. The truffle mustard I used came from the little tourist town of Galena, IL from the Galena Canning Company (linked in the ingredients!). If you’ve never been…
Italian Zucchini Chicken Quinoa Bake
You can find a million versions of zucchini bread with a quick Google search. However, savory zucchini recipes a little more difficult to find. Do you agree? I’ve been on the hunt for ways to make use of my abundant zucchini supply, but I can only eat so many slices of zucchini bread… Which is…
Green Chili Chicken and White Bean Enchilada Casserole
How much easier does it get than this? You prep the filling in the slow cooker. Layer the ingredients in the pan. Bake. Your prep work = cutting an onion and garlic and opening cans. This is fantastic for all you busy people out there (AKA everyone and their dogs.). Enough with the talk, get…
Curried Cauliflower & Chickpea (or chicken!) Salad
This recipe definitely isn’t your tried and true, tattered recipe card, kind of recipe. Instead, this one is a “push you out of your comfort zone” kind of recipe! It is so unexpectedly delicious, I think you’ll be surprised at how much you like it. If cauliflower or chickpeas aren’t your thing, definitely try it…
Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Peppers with Homemade Mole Sauce
You GUYS. Prepare for a flavor explosion. It’s also a health food masterpiece–but no one seems to notice that when it’s this delicious. 🙂 When I first found this mole sauce, I made it with standard chicken enchiladas. That was delicious, so I kept hoping I’d find more ways to use the sauce. Fast forward…
The Best Slow Cooker Shredded Beef
I’ll never quite understand why people correlate crockpot meals with the winter… In my opinion, spring and summer are the best time to use my crockpot because I can avoid turning on my oven or stove and heating up my kitchen! This beef roast is so tender, juicy and EASY. When you need a no…
Blackened Salmon Spice Rub
You know when you go to a restaurant and have a meal you can’t stop thinking about? That’s how this salmon recipe came about. I had a blackened salmon salad at a restaurant and now any time I go back there I can’t order anything but that salad. Considering I don’t eat there often, I…
Easy Freezer Breakfast Burritos (Perfect for Planting & Harvest!)
You wouldn’t know it now with my love (and NEED) for breakfast, but there used to be a time when all I could be convinced to eat for breakfast before I’d leave for elementary school was a packaged rice krispie treat. Maybe the sugar jolt was my elementary form of caffeine? Back to these breakfast…
