I like Taco Tuesday just as much as the next person, but I don't always want the tortillas. And while I could absolutely make a taco salad, I prefer warm, cozy dishes in the fall and winter. This recipe can be made with any kind of squash - spaghetti squash or butternut squash especially - but the zucchini has just enough subtle flavoring to not overpower the taco spices. As much as I love using ground beef, I had ground turkey in the freezer and I knew that it would be a gr

First of all, this sounds a lot fancier than it is. During the week, I don't have a ton of time to stand in the kitchen and make dinner. This is a great weeknight meal that is savory and sweet and the best part... kid friendly! No fluff, classic meat-and-potatoes kind of dinner. I "cheat" and use a pre-marinated pork tenderloin that I keep stocked in the fridge (one of my favorite Aldi finds!). It is the easiest way to have dinner at my fingertips. For this recipe, I used the

No one likes doing dishes, and everyone likes good food. That's why I'm sharing one of my favorite 1-Pot Meals. A lot of people think of roasts and hearty meals like this for traditional Sunday dinner, but I promise you - these will go beyond Sunday dinner. I'll admit, I never used to like these types of meals because they were so "old school" but 1-Pot Meals goes beyond a pot roast (although, who doesn't love meat and potatoes?!). These meals are simple, require little-to-no

Save time this week and make these kid-approved crock pot meals, because let's be honest, no one really has time to slave over the stove or oven while you are juggling after-school events, sports practice, and daily chaos. Even though I work from home and rarely go anywhere, I rely on my crockpot more than any other appliance in the kitchen. Before I had kids, I didn't use my crock pot much. I made a lot of easier meals since I mostly was cooking for one, but I had more time

I love pizza. In just about any shape or size, any topping. But margarita pizza might be my all-time favorite. The cheese is so melty, the tomatos are so warm and flavorful and the basil adds the perfect brightness. It's also one of my daughter's favorite pizzas - which makes it a total win! Tuesdays are a busy day at my house - Hubs goes to work, I go to work, and we have an amazing "nanny-babysitter" that comes to play with the little one. But by the time I get home from

I love finding easy recipes, especially in the summer. Our schedules are hectic and no one wants to stand in a hot kitchen. And Shrimp is my daughter's favorite food, so it's always a plus when I know she'll eat what I make for dinner without putting up a fight. And we love healthy options around here - and remember, healthy doesn't have to complicated or expensive - just delicious! We rarely have leftovers, but when we do, it tastes great the next day for an easy lunch. With

Risotto is a great substitute for pasta and because of the starches in arborio rice, it's rich and creamy without using any heavy cream or milk. I wouldn't say it's the healthiest option, but it's definitely a guilty pleasure! Risotto is easy, but it takes patience. This meal was thrown together with things we had in the pantry and freezer, and it takes no time at all to have a balanced delicious meal. We always have rice, chicken stock, onions, and frozen vegetables at our
