This recipe is the all-American-style taco flavors we’ve come to love in a creamy soup, and it’s perfect for family dinners. This soup is a true crowd-pleaser, and you’ll find all my dietary substitutions below as well. You can use ground beef, ground pork, ground turkey, etc. to make this soup pretty much infinitely adaptable. We love making this soup a creamy one, but you can follow my dairy-free tips....
Fajitas are such a crowd-pleasing recipe! And it’s no wonder with all the flavor-packed spices and bright zesty lime flavor. How to make this recipe step by step I really hope you enjoy these Shrimp Fajitas! If you do get a chance to make this recipe, I’d love to hear from you in the comments.
I’ve been way outside my comfort zone lately. First with these Samosa Style Twice Baked Potatoes, and now this Ethiopian-inspired dish! But one of the things that keeps me inspired and excited about life is trying new things. I promise this recipe is super easy just like my usual style, it’s just got a little exotic touch. If you’ve made Thai curry with curry paste from the store, you’ll find this to be the same principle....
The first time I had Ginger Miso Dressing, I was hooked! I knew from the first taste, that I would need to come up with a recipe so I could have it all – the – time. There is a great health food store in Missoula, Montana that makes a really good one, and it’s that flavor that I had in mind when I developed this recipe. I love the sweet-salty flavors combined with the fresh citrus juice....
Homemade salad dressings are one of those things that are definitely worth making from scratch. It’s cheaper and budget-friendly to make your own, and homemade salad dressings taste so much better than store-bought. If you do feel like adding a touch of sweetness, you have the option to use a natural sweetener like maple syrup. All in all homemade salad dressings are a good deal. And I know that once you get a taste of making your own, you just can’t go back to store-bought!...
This is my interpretation of the classic broccoli salad – but there’s no mayonnaise in this version! Not that I have anything against mayo, (I love homemade mayo) but I’ve never cared for it as a salad dressing. However, I do like things creamy as a general rule, so I used avocado to make this deliciously creamy dressing. I’ve been looking for a new way to eat broccoli, (I’m afraid I’ve been in a boring habit, eating plain steamed broccoli) and so this salad came about....
Since I was making a giant salad with grilled chicken for dinner, I decided to make my 2-Ingredient Balsamic Vinaigrette.Then I proceeded to jazz it up a bit with some Italian seasoning and those leftover pepperoncini peppers. And that was it, it was such a good combo I started doing more and more things with those 2 ingredients. To the point where I decided to add them to the balsamic roast I would make a few times every winter....
For years I’ve been making my Cranberry Sweet Potato Stuffing 2 Ways for Thanksgiving dinners. However, mashed potatoes for me are way more important than stuffing. So having 2 kinds of potatoes on the table seemed a bit redundant. Anyways this year I decided it was high time to change things up, and make a butternut stuffing instead. That way I figured it would add more variety to the table....
When I did a poll over on Insta Stories to see whether I should make a honey mustard or a ranch trail mix, honey mustard ended up winning. But it won by just the narrowest of margins. So I felt like I really needed to make a ranch version as well. Ranch flavors turned out to be challenging to make paleo, because without the buttermilk powder, it didn’t taste as ‘ranchy’....
We make this simple side dish at least once a week throughout the colder months. Carrots and potatoes cook at a similar rate and their flavors combine well. This makes them the perfect duo for a super easy side dish Our personal favorite dishes to serve these with are my Tuscan Chicken, Creamy Garlic Chicken, and Pizza Chicken. And don’t miss my sausage variation below in the tips that make this a one-pan meal....
So why bother adding superfoods to your smoothie? I mean.. smoothies are already packed with fruits and veggies which are pretty healthy all on their own. But I guess I’m more along the lines of why not? Superfoods pack a lot of nutritional punch in small doses, so adding a little goes a long way! I definitely suggest using a small amount and working up to what tastes good to you....
I have several versions of Caesar Salad on the blog, including one buried so far back in the archives, I even forgot about it. But somehow, my favorite of all favorites hasn’t been on the blog until now! While I know using the word ‘best’ seems like a bit or a reach, I think I can explain. So just to clarify, this is the ‘best chicken caesar salad I’ve ever made or eaten anywhere ever’....
These mashed sweet potatoes are perfect for any family dinner because they’re easy to make. They’re also great for any holiday meal as well from Thanksgiving to Christmas. And they’re mostly hands-off with just a few minutes of prep time! Instead of a watery mash, you end up with an ultra creamy texture guaranteed to please. It’s just a bonus that these are incredibly easy to make as well. So you may well find yourself making these every single week....
Luckily I’ve found baking soda to be very effective for several reasons; for one it’s really easy to always have on hand and secondly, it exfoliates without irritating my skin. Some of the coarser textured scrubs I’ve tried like cornmeal have irritated my skin, a little and so I found myself avoiding them. However, not exfoliating leaves a buildup, and I always notice my skin doesn’t look as good over time with all the playing outdoors....
I like a lip gloss that’s not too sticky. This lip gloss has all the glossiness without the inherent stickiness that usually accompanies it. It’s more moisturizing because coconut oil is the base, with just enough beeswax added to keep it from melting too easily. I added a bit of honey for a couple of reasons. First, honey is great for chapped lips because it’s a humectant, meaning that it attracts and retains water....
We drink green smoothies pretty much every day – but even so, I tend to stick with a couple of my favorite recipes! So… lately I’ve been working on branching out a bit. I find it can be extra hard to try new combinations when it comes to green smoothies because I’ve really bombed it on a few occasions! I mean there’s been a few in the totally not drinkable department – i....
They’re also super fun to give for gifts: just pick a pretty container, (like these purple mason jars) and you’re good to go. Adding a homemade touch to a gift is always nice, especially for bridal and baby showers. I usually just add a raffia bow around the top of the jar, and add it into the gift. While I did make this sugar scrub with dried lavender flowers thrown in, they’re not absolutely necessary....
The summer just calls for a new dessert inspired by the classic s’mores combination. Last year I did these Blondie S’mores Brownies, which has been a big hit. And so this year I decided to move onto a pie, since you can’t go wrong with either one! The almond flour and coconut sugar come together in the crust that tastes remarkably like a traditional graham cracker crust. Then a silky smooth chocolate filling is poured in and chilled....
The inspiration for this curry recipe came from our local Thai restaurant just like my Yellow Curry recipe! One of my best friends and I have been meeting for dinner at this local Thai place for over 20 years. So of course I went straight home and started testing to share it with you. I think you’ll enjoy this easy-to-make curry packed with protein and veggies, and so much flavor....
This cozy mug really is like a giant pumpkin hug. It’s everything you could wish for on cold snowy days where you can cuddle up by the fire and sip away. We’ve been making this recipe for years and it’s always a hit served around the fire on blustery days. It’s also perfect for holiday breakfasts or any brunch all through the winter. How to make this recipe step by step I really hope you enjoy this Pumpkin Chai Latte!...
