Whether you are looking for a quick weeknight dinner or a meal for a special occasion, I’m certain you will find something here that your whole family will enjoy! I aim to provide a variety of options including chicken, beef, pork, seafood, fish, salads, soups, pasta, and vegetarian.
This Slow Cooker Mediterranean Chicken Soup is bursting with flavor, and it tastes so fresh and healthy! This is a perfect weeknight dinner option because you can throw everything in your slow cooker and you barely have to lift a finger beyond that.
This Healthy Mediterranean Pasta is so flavorful and fresh that you won’t even notice that there isn’t a sauce! What’s even better is that this dish is so easy to throw together for a quick weeknight meal! You can also top with some chicken or shrimp for some extra added protein.
These Buffalo Chicken Meatballs incorporate all of the delicious flavors of a spicy chicken wing in the form of a meatball. They are a healthier version of everyone’s favorite game day snack, and they even sneak in some vegetables if you have picky eaters. They are so versatile and can be served as an appetizer, snack, or a main course!
While these Easy 30-Minute Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas taste exactly like what you would order at your favorite Mexican restaurant, the good news is that they’re a healthier option because you can control the amount of oil that is used in the cooking process. The chicken comes out juicy and flavorful, and the bell peppers and onion add some lovely color and texture.
This Tomato, Onion, And Hearts Of Palm Salad has a unique blend of flavors that will have your tastebuds dancing! Spring mix, halved grape tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and sliced hearts of palm…so yummy!
This Slow Cooker Mississippi Chicken has the same delicious flavors as the classic Mississippi Pot Roast, with a lighted up spin on a chicken version!
This Roasted Vegetable Lasagna is the ultimate comfort food. Roasting the vegetables gives so much delicious flavor, and it’s a great way to pack in a bunch of vegetables for picky eaters. This is also one of those dishes that is even better the next day, so this would be perfect to meal prep for the week ahead!
This Classic Smoked Beef Tenderloin is a dish my husband likes to serve for special occasions like Christmas and Easter. While this beef tenderloin is such a special treat, you may be surprised to find out that it is relatively simple to prepare! The smoker does the majority of the work for you, and the end result is a delightfully tender, savory beef tenderloin that you will look forward to serving for every holiday.
This Hot Chicken Salad is a dish that my mom used to make frequently when I was younger. I made a couple of simple tweaks to lighten it up a bit, and I’m happy to report that it’s every bit as delicious as I remember!
There is nothing more comforting than a warm bowl of homemade soup on a cold day. As the weather starts to get colder, I find myself creating more and more soups for my family. This Lightened Up Clam Chowder is so flavorful, and you won’t even notice that it’s a healthier version!
These One Pan Pork Chops are so flavorful, and the apples and onions really enhance all the deliciousness of the pork. A one pot meal means fewer dishes to clean… what’s not to love about that?!
These Spinach, Tomato, And Onion Stuffed Shells are the ultimate lightened up comfort food! This recipe also makes a *ton* of stuffed shells, so it’s perfect to freeze for another meal or to give to a family member or friend to enjoy!
