Simple Sweet Potato Noodles

I also serve them with dinner in all sorts of ways: you can serve them with an Easy Herb Roasted Chicken or this Honey Mustard Pork Loin, but they’re also great added to all sorts of spiralized recipes. Sometimes when I want to add a bit more bulk to a zucchini noodle recipe, I add in a pan of roasted sweet potato noodles. The reason it works so well to roast them first is because zucchini noodle recipes usually need a huge skillet to make even enough for 2 people....

Thai Curry Noodle Soup

All the classic flavors of Thai curry are made into a cozy noodle soup. It’s the perfect healthy comfort food that comes together in just 30 minutes! A creamy coconut curry base envelopes the noodles and veggies with savory chunks of chicken throughout. This recipe is also easy to customize with different curry pastes.

Blueberry Cream Pie

This creamy pie would be perfect with any berry, but I think blueberries go particularly well with the lemony filling. In a few weeks, I want to try it with peaches because, well… you know… peaches and cream! It’s quickly turning into an all-purpose, every occasion kind of pie and you don’t even have to turn on the oven! This pie requires a little time to set up in the fridge, making it the perfect ‘make ahead’ dessert for barbecues and potlucks!...

Burger Bowls

These burger bowls are one of our personal most-made recipes, and you’ll find it on our menu on the regular. During the summer months, we’ve been known to eat these tasty bowls 4+ times per week. This recipe originally came out in 2018, but I have more tips and tricks to share with you today. One of my favorite tips I’ve started doing is to cook double or even quadruple the amount of bacon bits needed....

Cantaloupe Nice Cream Bowls

I was daydreaming about these Cantaloupe Bowls last week while walking on the beaches of Tofino, Vancouver Island. The sun was shining and there was sand beneath my toes for the first time in 4 years. The heat of the sun on my face had me wanting something frosty and refreshing, but since we were miles and miles from anywhere, daydreams had to suffice! I don’t know about you but I’ve been bitten by the summer bug, (the recent vacation only made it worse) and all plans of productivity have flown right out the window....

Chunky Monkey Smoothie Bowls

You want to know the secret for really beautiful smoothie bowls? The answer is so simple – just be messy! I don’t know why I’ve always tried to arrange perfect rows or fruit, or make the toppings look just right, (maybe it’s all those pretty pictures on Instagram or something). But these smoothie bowls are the first ones I haven’t worked hard on, and I think they’re the prettiest I’ve made so far....

Dawson Pitamakan Pass Loop Trail In Glacier National Park

Luckily you can cut down the mileage a bit by taking the boat ride across the lake. We really enjoyed the boat ride and all the history/fun facts along the way. Once we were across the lake, we ate our breakfast before starting the climb upwards. We figured there was no point carrying the extra weight up the next 2,000′ of elevation to the 1st pass. Plus you’ll need some energy to carry you up all of that....

Easy Thai Beef Salad

Do you ever get a preconceived notion in your head before you’ve even tried something? Well for some reason I’ve always steered clear of putting steak in a salad until now. My underlying thought being that why on earth would you waste something as delectable as steak by putting it in a salad? Not that I don’t love a good salad, but a perfectly seared juicy steak, fresh off the grill seems to demand center stage!...

Ground Beef Stroganoff Dairy Free Opt

Did you know the traditional beef stroganoff is made with steak? Well… I was an adult before I figured this out because my mom always made stroganoff with ground beef growing up. It’s so easy and good, I find myself thinking, why would you waste steak in stroganoff? Especially when it’s so incredibly delicious and budget-friendly made with ground beef. It’s also made with simple ingredients you can find at any grocery store....

Honey Mustard Chicken And Potato Sheet Pan Dinner

But in any case, I’d like to remedy that situation because sheet pan dinners are so handy. The basic premise is as the name would suggest, pile things on a giant cookie sheet, and roast into perfection. Today’s recipe is the classic honey mustard flavor combo with chicken and potatoes. Definitely a win win all around for whenever you’re not sure what to make for dinner. These classic flavors have always been a great crowd pleaser for me....

Instant Pot Crispy Potatoes

The history behind these Instant Pot Crispy Potatoes goes all the way back to childhood for both me and Tyler. We both grew up with our moms boiling potatoes to cut up and fry for breakfasts the next morning. Both of our mothers always added extra to the pot when they were making mashed potatoes for dinner. Then before mashing them, you reserve a few to cut up and refrigerate for the next morning....

Korean Ground Beef Bowls

This recipe has been a long-time favorite in our house, and it’s always popular with our guests as well. You’ll find some authentic Korean flavors paired together with some not-so-authentic sriracha mayo to make an unforgettable bowl. We also love ‘one and done’ kind of meals, so this Korean Ground Beef comes together with rice and greens for a full dinner. So while this isn’t the most authentic Korean dish you’ll ever have, I know it will become an easy-to-make family favorite!...

Maple Cinnamon Granola

Every few months I make a new flavor of granola and promptly declare it my new favorite. So is it ok that I tell you this is my all time favorite granola? Don’t be surprised though if I’m telling you the same thing again a few months time! I have a good feeling this one will truly last the test of time, mostly because a light cinnamon maple flavor goes with pretty much everything....

Oatmeal Banana Facial Mask

Oats make a great scrub, cleanser, and mask! I love using them in all sorts of ways for my skin because they’re gentle and soothing to the skin. I started using it as a cleanser with this Oatmeal Cleansing Facial Scrub. It’s just 1 ingredient, although you can add more. It has a lightly exfoliating effect, and I loved it so much, I started creating more oatmeal facials. Today’s recipe takes advantage of the moisturizing and anti-bacterial properties of honey....

Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie

This smoothie is summer in a glass! It’s so refreshing whenever temperatures soar, and it’s perfect for summertime activities. I first started making this smoothie after we hiked a steep mountain in the blazing summer sun. It was super hot, and when we got back I started foraging the fridge and found some watermelon. From there I blended it with frozen strawberries and downed a 32-ounce jar in record time....

The Ultimate Paleo Lemon Bars

I’ve been on a bit of a roll recreating favorite recipes from my childhood lately. We’re kicking it all off with these lemon bars because anyone I’ve ever known has a fond memory of lemon bars. They were always a dessert I looked forward too, even to the point I would beg for them. I’m not sure if my mom ever made them from scratch, (I really should ask her)....

Turmeric Chicken Coconut Curry

There’s a few recipes from cookbooks I make for authentic Indian dishes that I absolutely love! However to be entirely honest, I make them on average about once a year. By the time you toast the whole spices, grind them to make a dry masala, then make a wet masala, you’re already in at least 30 minutes. And what’s more… you haven’t even started cooking yet! More often than not, I just don’t have that kind of time to dedicate in the kitchen....

15 Adult Lunchables

These easy homemade & healthy Adult Lunchables have been going with us everywhere for the last couple of years! We take them to work, and along with us in our backpacks on weekend adventures. The key is they’re extra easy to make, and they’re satisfying as well. I started making these Lunchables when I was in a panic one Monday morning. We get up at 5 am and I’m not awake at that time....

Best Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Perfectly browned and oh-so-tasty Brussels sprouts are super simple to make! In fact, it’s all about the oven temperature. Simply place them in a ultra hot oven, on a good quality baking sheet, and you’re in for some veggies you can’t stop eating. In fact, my husband got a separate bowl for his Brussels sprouts so he could enjoy their ‘French fry-like flavor’! That’s a direct quote and he’s not wrong, these are beyond delicious....
