Cauliflower & Roasted Garlic Corn Chowder
Brrrrr. Where did the summer weather go? Time to warm up with a bowl of soup! This soup reminds me of the corn chowder my mom used to make for our household growing up. Made a few tweaks to the original recipe, but it is still as good as ever. Sweet kernel corn off the…
Dairy Free Rose Sauce
Trying to cut out dairy? Looking for a more healthy alternative to pasta sauces loaded with heavy cream and cheese, but don’t want to lose the rich flavor? I find most tomato sauces to be too acidic and usually add heavy cream or cream cheese to it. This sauce is a great alternative! Allowing me…
Vanilla Coconut Overnight Oats
Instant oatmeal out of a packet may be quick and easy, but it also tastes like the package it came from and packed full of chemicals that are used to make the fruit-like-bits added to the package taste like the real thing. Overnight oats are far more healthy and can easily be thrown together…
Pork Fried Riced Cauliflower
I will admit, I am horrible at making traditional fried rice. Mostly because I don’t have the patience to make proper rice by cooking it and letting it cool before I fry it up. I have found that riced cauliflower removes this annoying step completely and it is a low carb/veggie version of…
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
If you have yet to try cauliflower pizza crusts you have to understand that if not prepared properly it will yield a very mushy mess rather than anything that resembles a pizza! Cauliflower is mostly water! I know because I have dehydrated a whole head of cauliflower and it produced only 1/3…
Cashew Cream
Where has cashew cream been all my life!?!? I used to have a huge dependency on heavy cream when making meals for my family. I could easily go through a quart of cream a week. So, if you know me it is a huge deal that I have found a dairy alternative to my…
Low Carb Banana Pancakes
Really, you only need two ingredients to make these pancakes. I like a little more flavor, so at times I will add a little cinnamon, powdered peanut butter or almond butter to the batter. I generally don’t have an issue getting my kid to eat pancakes, he absolutely loves these. If I can disguise…
Savory Bean Dressing
This is a multi purpose sauce packed with flavor! Nutritional yeast, if you have never used it, is absolutely magical! This recipe is a great way to start using nutritional yeast, as you can branch out from here once you get the taste of it, try not to go overboard! Nutritional yeast comes in…
Riced Cauliflower Lasagna
EAT YOUR VEGETABLES! I know everyone is trying to find new and exciting ways to eat vegetables and I figure, why not get on that bandwagon? My son loves noodles and gobbled this lasagna up without questioning the vegetables. If you have dificulty consuming enough servings of vegetables in a day, give this recipe a…
Stuffed BBQ Chicken Roll
I am all about food prepping to make my life easier. There is nothing like coming home after a long day of work and all you have to do is throw dinner in the oven to heat it up and serve. That is why my family has always enjoyed picking up a…
Chicken Gyros
This afternoon was spent in the kitchen with my daughter Saskia. She had a rough night last night battling a cold and was very cuddly this morning. She sat in her bouncy chair and watched mommy cook up her creations with a huge smile on her face, despite not feeling well. My husband…

Pesto Chicken Rolls
What the heck is that?!? I know, it seems like a crazy idea to use a bamboo sushi roller to make stuffed chicken, but why not? Here is an idea, take the juicy flavor of chicken meatballs and wrap them in pesto? The moment I took a roll out of the oven it was gone…
Perfect Pesto
Pesto is so simple, yet versatile. For this week’s meal prep I made pesto chicken rolls, orzo pasta with pesto and tomatoes with roasted brussle sprouts. Try doubling the recipe and freezing the pesto for later. I would recommend freezing cubes of pesto in an ice tray, then empty the frozen cubes of pesto into…
Turkey Cabbage Wrap
I promise you this wrap is more tasty than you could ever imagine, and it’s healthy too! A great thing about cabbage is it’s a very durable vegetable that will not get soggy or wilt if you plan to use this recipe in your weekly meal prep. If you do plan to do so, you…
Chicken Meatballs
Chicken meatballs are easy to make and very versatile. I am blown away that nearly everyone I have talked to about them have never heard or imagined making meatballs with chicken! Once made, they can be used in almost any meal. I make a large batch and store them in the freezer for later use….
