Gluten and Dairy Free Chicken Meatballs with GF Pasta and Marinara
Summer 2021 has flown by, and we find ourselves at the beginning of September. The end of swimming in the lake, tanning by the pool, and picnics at the park is here. However, I am excited beyond reason, because that means that Fall is here! Which means the beginning of warm soups, pumpkin spice lattes, strolls through the park wearing scarves and beanies, and savory comforting food like spaghetti and meatballs! Which brings me to our recipe today! I love this recipe because it is quick, has simple ingredients, and is a delicious savory meal, done in under 30 minutes. You can definitely whip this up whether you are a…
Cold Pasta Salad with Corn, Chicken, and Vinaigrette
Well hello there my blog friends and family, I hope you are having a fabulous week. It has been in the 90’s here in Idaho for weeks now, so it’s been a hot summer. For me, that means lots of pools, rivers, lakes, cold drinks, and eating food that is generally cold if possible. That’s why I love creating cold pasta recipes in the summer because the last thing you wanna eat when you are hot, is a hot meal. I created this recipe with a small and mighty pasta called orzo. If you have never heard of orzo pasta, it is a short grained pasta, usually made of white…
Whole 30 Chicken Normandy with Apples & Coconut Cream
Hi folks! Happy (almost) Fathers Day! I am currently on day 17 of the Whole 30. I have been trying to come up with creative and delicious dinner ideas that are full of protein, delicious flavor, and healthy. I had never made Chicken Normandy before, but I knew that I wanted to make it, and I wanted it to be healthy and Whole 30 approved. The regular chicken normandy calls for creme fraise (basically sour cream), regular flour, brandy, and some other ingredients that are not gluten or dairy free. So I substituted coconut cream, chicken stock, almond flour, and it tasted great! All the amazing flavors, but better for…
Green Salad with Pickled Onions and Balsamic Dressing
Well hello hello. Memorial Day weekend is upon us! That means we will see lots of friends and families getting together, BBQing, making meals, and just spending time with one another. I am grateful for all the men and women who have devoted their lives to serving our country, I am excited to honor them, and I hope that they feel loved and appreciated. On a lighter note, my favorite part of a holiday is the food and the people. I am an extrovert, so hanging out with humans and connecting with them, makes me come alive. One of the main reasons I love creating recipe and cooking food, is…
Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Happy Spring! It is now officially Spring, and Easter is around the corner. Even though, here in Idaho it is currently snowing right now, according to the calendar, it is “Spring”. The recipe I am talking about today, is seriously so tasty, I have made it at least 6 times. It is creamy, cozy, savory, and easy as far as making pot pie from scratch goes. You can even make this for Easter dinner. This is something you can make, pop in the oven, then go have an Easter egg hunt with the kids, and then it will be ready to eat, when you come back! I am getting in…
Whole 30 Sweet Potato Chili
This is a recipe I created many years ago, when I decided to do the Whole 30. I wanted a delicious, flavorful, and hearty meal, and I modified a regular recipe to be Whole 30 approved. I have added a couple things since then, like beans, and it is still one of my favorite chili’s to this day. If you do want to make it Whole 30 approved, just omit the beans, and make sure your broths have no sugar added etc. It has few ingredients and takes only about 10-15 minutes to prepare. Even though it’s so simple, it is still extremely flavorful. Some tips: If you want it…
