UGH I SO wish I had better pictures of this meal, because this was definitely in my top 3 of things I have made this year!! But, with the fact that it gets dark here at about 4:30, it doesn't make it very easy to take dinner pictures in natural light. So as "not so … Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

Ummm..... YUM   This Rosemary Citrus Salmon was simply to die for, and the fact that I could cook it alongside the asparagus all in one pan made it even better! Though hubs doesn't totally love salmon unless it's coated in maple syrup and brown sugar (though let's be real... who wouldn't love that more), … Continue reading Rosemary Citrus Salmon with Asparagus

  Temperatures are staying UNDER 80 degrees here... which means it's ALL SOUP ALL THE TIME!! (The Vermonter in me is a bit ashamed, oh well)! And these days there's rarely a Sunday where you don't find us sitting on the couch watching our beloved Patriots. So on this Sunday, I had decided to whip … Continue reading The Best Healthy Turkey Chili

It finally started to cool down around here for a few days (when it reaches the mid 60s and you're freezing, you know you've been away from your Vermont roots for too long!!). So, because of that, we decided to round up our October fall recipes with this tasty Autumn Minestrone Soup. This totally hit … Continue reading Autumn Minestrone Soup

Now that it's October, and Autumn has arrived (though it doesn't quite feel like it yet here in Florida), we're ready for all things FALL! Football, pumpkin candles, fire pit evenings, and recipes too! This Butternut Squash Alfredo was the perfect way to kick off the month of October! I absolutely love anything and everything … Continue reading Butternut Squash Alfredo

OKAY.... now THIS was a stretch for me. And to be honest, I was actually quite nervous about making these pork chops. We don't eat a lot of meat around our home- occasionally chicken and turkey, sometimes fish, but rarely do we eat any sort of pork or red meat. So, because of that, I … Continue reading ONE POT BBQ CHERRY PORK CHOPS WITH QUINOA

As a wedding gift we received a KitchenAid Standing Mixer. I've continued to use it for my homemade baking attempts, but a few months ago I bought this spiralizer attachment to put on the end of it. In college I had a spiralizer and LOVED it!!! There was something oddly so therapeutic about spiralizing a … Continue reading One Pot Teriyaki Chicken Zoodles

Though this recipe doesn't originally call for this to be dairy free, I decided to try and make it work- and honestly I loved it! And it made this meal SO much healthier (without the heavy cream and cheese). We originally made this last year for our Superbowl party (GO PATS!!!) and included the dairy … Continue reading Slow Cooker Dairy Free Corn Chowder

Probably the most descriptive name I've ever used for a recipe, but there's so many yummy parts to this meal I had to include them all in the title!! This dinner was AWESOME! So many of my favorite flavors all in one. As the summer months wind down, this was a great end of August … Continue reading Grilled Lime Salmon with Avocado-Mango Salsa and Coconut Rice

Now THIS was a treat! Holy moly!! I found the recipe for this flatbread in the summer edition of the Magnolia Journal and decided to give it a try. Now, recently I had decided I was going to take dairy out of my diet again and try to cut back on the amount of gluten … Continue reading Chicken, Brie, & Peach Flatbread
