My husband is forever mocking me for my love of roast beef. I generally don’t love sandwich meats but roast beef I’ll always adore. There’s nothing like a good roast beef sandwich with spicy brown mayo or a dollop of horseradish cream. We met my family at Top Round (if you’re in Dallas, it’s definitely…
Main Course
High Protein Chicken Pasta Bake
Yes, it’s still 100 million degrees in Texas right now but there’s just something about being 8 months pregnant and it finally being the end of August that has me craving all the comfort foods. We first made this high protein chicken pasta bake two weeks ago and I haven’t been able to get it…
Homemade Mushroom Ravioli in a Light Cream Sauce
We have a love/hate relationship with homemade mushroom ravioli here in this house. Love them for their decadence and surprising ease to make (yes, I promise you – it is actually easy). Hate because they’re all I want to eat for every meal when we have them in the house – and the recipe makes…
Homemade Ravioli, the Easy Way
Yay for quarantine forcing me to finally get to all of those things I wanted to tackle “someday”. This weekend’s activity: mastering homemade ravioli. I, like many people, have a deep love of pasta – particularly ravioli. I went through a phase in my teens where one of the only foods I would eat is…
Homemade Pasta Using a KitchenAid Pasta Roller
We’re on the constant search for new date night ideas while self-isolating at home, so of course, when I saw a friend had created homemade pasta on her IG stories, I knew we had to add that to the list. I’ve heard great things about the KitchenAid Pasta Roller and thanks to Target store pickup,…
Creamy Sweet Potato Curry Soup
Y’all, the number of DMs I received when I shared in my Instagram stories as I made this soup last week was insane! It seems like a lot of people love curry as much as I do, and this creamy sweet potato curry soup is. so. good. It also takes less than 20 minutes to…
Mexican Quinoa Casserole
This post was originally published in March 2015, and was updated to modify a few changes I’ve made to the recipe and add new photos. Who says eating healthy has to be boring? This Mexican Quinoa Casserole certainly isn’t, and can be help you use up any leftover veggies you may have lying around. The…
Chicken Meatballs with Hidden Veggies
Anyone else have a toddler who suddenly refuses everything that even remotely resembles a vegetable? We’re deep into that stage now and getting really creative about how to sneak veggies into her meals. We discovered KidFresh meals on a recent Target trip and surprise – E loves their white cheddar Mac and chicken meatballs. They’re…
Meal Prep: August 22
I’m traveling for work this week for the first time in months! I was always very strict about carrying my food with me when I was prepping for a competition. Now that my goals are a little different, I’ve relaxed that habit a bit. This trip was an easy one to bring my meals along,…
Lightened Up Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
This easy chicken pot pie casserole is a family favorite, especially for those chilly fall days. Temperatures are still high here in Dallas, however a week of rain in the forecast has me pretending like we’re on the cusp of fall (but let’s be real, we still have another 2 months of summer weather here…
Chicken Burrito Bowl Meal Prep
I’ve been on a travel freeze since early March and am starting to get a little sick of cooking three meals a day! So, we’re pulling some old favorites that can be made in bulk back into the rotation, in hopes of cutting the nights we have to cook down to just a couple. These burrito…
Quick Pasta Meal Prep
Anyone else struggle with finding the time on a Sunday to meal prep? I’d far rather spend the time with my hubs and my pups, prepping for baby and enjoying our last few months of time as a family of 3 (5 if you count the pups). After last week, though, it was a necessity. …
