This morning was a busy one, despite neither of my children having school. After going to the gym I spent my morning running around town grocery shopping. Picking up last minute deals. $1.69 a pound for chicken breasts or thighs?!? How could I pass that up? Have you ever tried being a chef, photographer and mom…

Pineapple-Mango salsa
I have a hard time convincing my husband that this salsa is not a fruit salad. He will honestly eat it strait from the bowl and if I don’t take it away from him, he will eat the whole thing before we even have a chance to put it on top of anything we eat….

Crockpot pulled pork, and seasonal squash, YUM! I have tried several ways of cooking pork loin and the crockpot is by far the easiest, but it takes a little finesse. Follow a few tips and tricks and you will have an amazingly juicy pulled pork with a nice golden crisp on the outside. Here is…

Coconut Curried Butternut Squash Soup
Creamy and delicious squash soup! The curry adds a much needed kick. This recipe can also be made with rosemary and heavy cream instead of curry and coconut milk, but I choose to go with the skinny version. Both taste delicious, so I will let you decide. I have also used Rosemary essential oils to…

CUNCH…Salmon Tacos!
I do have a place in my stomach for fish tacos, but the right kind! I think about food all the time, not just what I want to eat, but how I would prepare it. I am not sure how you think about food or go about eating, but as I am eating something, I…
Shrimp Ceviche
Ceviche, jalapeño salsa and spiralized cucumber Noodles!?! This dish screams summer and is a great way to use up the abundance of tomatoes and cucumbers from your garden! I have cucumbers coming out of my ears. Who knew so many cucumbers could come from one seed!?! As you can tell, I am new to this…
Turkey Potstickers
Save yourself some time and pick up potsticker wrappers. They cost about $3 for 50 or more. A pound of turkey will cost around $5-6 and a head of cabbage around $1. That rounds the cost of this recipe to around $10 max. The potstickers can be pre-made and in mass quantities and frozen to…
Pork Roast in a Dairy Free White Wine Sauce
A Pork roast with a creamy, dairy free, white wine sauce. This post is a little late, as I am running behind in life. I spoiled my husband on Father’s Day with this recipe. I gave him a taste as he sat in his chair upstairs, unaware of what I was doing in the kitchen….
Thai Green Curry
I love green curry! It has literally taken me years to perfect this recipe. I joke, but every time I make this recipe it some how gets better and better everytime. I don’t know if it is my taste buds changing, or if I am actually improving the recipe through experience, but you can try…
Scotch Eggs
How did I not know about Scotch eggs? This recipe seems like something I should have grown up with. An egg wraped in a meatball? Why not? Life this week has been a little crazy around my house and seems to be getting more crazy. The days are full with work and kids, gym workouts,…
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…
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…
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…
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…

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…
