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,…

Greek Pasta Salad
Summer is almost over {I know it’s past Labor Day, but temps are still 90+ in Dallas}, and I’m still trying to squeeze in a few last rounds of my favorite warm weather recipes before everything swaps to stew, soup, and pumpkin. A few weekends ago I whipped up one of my favorites for a…
Zucchini Lasagna
In my pre-fit girl life, I loved me some pasta. Now, I’d rather eat a waffle for those carbs – but the craving sometimes comes back. The fix? Zucchini lasagna, complete with all the gooey cheese and rich meat of the pasta version, but none of the guilt (extra points for the serious protein macros…
Cajun Chicken Pasta
Sunday night, I was seriously craving comfort food – specifically something filled with cheese and pasta. Yum. But, lots of cheese and pasta means no Oreos to cap off my nights, and let’s be honest – that’s not an option. So, I set about finding a happy medium. The result: a super flexible, mix-to-your-macros cajun…
