Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas

Chicken, beans and cheese. A simple combination that results in a tasty, casserole-style enchilada bake. Growing up my family loved to make these enchiladas. They were an easy 30 minute-meal that made dinner during the week convenient. Served with rice, a black bean corn salsa or fajita veggies, these enchiladas are easy to meal prep …

Double Chocolate Banana Bread

Classic banana bread is amazing on its own... but there's something about pairing chocolate and bananas together that is just so tempting. Just like several of the dessert recipes I've shared, I try to make healthy modifications where I can. Now this doesn't mean transforming baked goods into healthy experiments using ingredients you've never heard …

Korean Beef Bowls with Spicy Slaw

There's nothing like revisiting a recipe you love. These Korean Beef Bowls are just that. I created this meal a while back by morphing several different recipes together. Now, sometimes when I do this, it turns out great. Other times my creativity gets the best of me and disaster ensues. These Korean Beef Bowls though, …

Chick-Fil-A Chicken and Steak Fries

There's nothing quite like Chick-fil-A sauce. This mysterious mixture is slightly smokey but also tangy and sweet at the same time. Put simply, it's delicious. But what exactly is IN Chick-fil-A sauce. I was on a mission to find out and share the secret sauce with all of you to enjoy whenever the craving hits. …

Apple Cinnamon Bran Muffins

You know that cereal that looks like rabbit food? The one that old people eat when they struggle with staying regular? Unfortunately I'm not talking about Cracklin' Oat Bran today (although that cereal is 100% the best thing ever produced by Kelloggs). Today I'm sharing one of my favorite muffin flavors, BRAN. I don't know …

Cheesy Veggie Lasagna

Cheese. Cheese. And more cheese. All of us have memories of family dinners and it's not uncommon that lasagna or some other casserole was present at the table. Lasagna, salad and garlic bread are the perfect combo and satisfy that home-cooked meal craving. One thing I love about lasagna is that it's entirely When it …

Peanut Butter French Toast

When it comes to breakfast, I try to change it up often. From pancakes to waffles to oatmeal, I like to do something new each week if I can. I'd been on a pancake kick for a while that had passed (which previously was an english muffin kick) and realized that french toast had not …

Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Today I'm sharing a recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod that I absolutely love! Their blog is the CUTEST and I find myself coming back to it often. I've added several energy bite recipes to the blog but thought we could all use another! Every time I make energy bites I'm reminded of my …

Super Moist Banana Bread

Banana bread is one of those classic quick-mix recipes that requires just a bowl and a spoon. To make this recipe a little healthier I reduced the sugar by half and substituted yogurt for half the butter; the result is a loaf just as good, but lower in calories, fat and added sugars. Something that's …
