Slightly late to this trend, I know, but better late than never right? I also had to find the version I liked before I added it to my virtual recipe Rolodex! This version is also naturally gluten free and veggie+antioxidant packed! I tried the original it was a little too Feta-ey if you know what…

Beef Brisket; 5 Ways
Brisket. It’s such a delicious, bountiful, flavorful cut of meat that your family can eat on for days! There are a lot of different ways to eat it so that it doesn’t feel like you’re having leftovers night after night. It’s a great way to stretch a good cut of meat, cook once and eat…
One Pot Ginger Chicken + Rice with Peanut Sauce
This is a fabulous, inexpensive, flavorful recipe that uses ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen and pantry. Makes it perfect during this time of quarantine and uncertainty. There’s no doubt quarantine is hard, but we can do hard things! Cooking is great for my mental health and anxiety and also gives me a…
Coq Au Vin, Instant Pot Edition
Gosh I love this meal. And the French. Only they could turn an inexpensive meat like chicken thighs, braise it in some wine and turn it into a gourmet dish. Coq Au Vin sounds super fancy, but it’s shockingly simple. And you can throw it in the Instant Pot or Dutch Oven in the morning…
Easy Crustless Roast Vegetable Quiche
So. We have this moms group here. Made up of many of the moms in my daughters Pre-K class. I absolutely adore all of them and truly cherish spending time with them. You can count on them for anything and they are always willing to help if you ever need it or find yourself in…
Black Bean Pumpkin Plantain Enchiladas
It’s a mouthful of deliciousness. A little spicy. A little savory. A little sweet. A little creamy. A little Tex-Mex. A lotta Delicious. This is most definitely Minimalist Baker inspired! I had made her Black Bean Plantain enchiladas and absolutely fell in love! So I set out to make them again and had zero cashews…
Noodle(less) Veggie Pad Thai
You won’t even miss the noods. Promise. I don’t know. You be the judge. Do you miss them in there? Ok, full disclosure. I pretty much got this recipe from the Minimalist Baker blog. I made it probably 9 zillion times, made a few tweaks, removed the tofu and this is how I like it…
Cilantro Lime Cauli Rice Burrito
Definitely Chipotle inspired. Their lime cilantro rice is actually everything. I was craving a burrito and Chipotle is easily a 35min drive+parking nightmare for me. So I improvised. I had also riced a TON of cauliflower so I thought I’d put it to good use. One cauliflower yields a TON of cauli rice FYI. It’s…
Sweet N Spicy Roasted Eggplant Sandie
I used to detest Eggplant. I thought it was slimy and bitter and seedy. But eggplant is kind of like okra, you just gotta show it a little love, treat her kindly and cook her right! Then it’ll B-L-O-W your mind and the possibilities for it are endless. These days I ALWAYS either have a…
Macadamia Crusted Mahi Mahi*
Note- you can use any white fish really. I’ve had this with haddock, halibut, tilapia and even cod! A thicker fish definitely works better because the crust is pretty flavorul and substantial. I adapted this from the 21 Day Keto Reset as well. They served it with a brown butter sauce in the book, but…
