Ahhh sweet sweet summer, I can feel you just around the corner! Which means a majority of our meals are about to be al fresco and right off of the grill! In case you didn’t notice, baby K numero dos has wanted all things shrimp, and these Spicy Grilled Shrimp Skewers made the baby very very happy 😉
I LOVE this meal. Love. Not only is it incredibly healthy, but is sooooo easy. Who knew cauliflower rice was so delicious? Better yet, who knew that you could make a Cauliflower Shrimp Fried “Rice” could be so freakin’ tasty?
Ahhh appetite. It’s so nice to see you again. It’s been a brutal winter and it doesn’t help that I work in healthcare and am in and out of hospitals and nursing facilities all week. Three of which ended up being put on quarantine for outbreaks of the flu or various nasty stomach viruses. So no wonder I’ve had two bad respiratory viruses and two stomach viruses this winter. The latter resulting in a diet that resembled the boiled chicken, rice, and yogurt diet we feed our dog when he’s sick. So when I was finally feeling normal enough again for real food, I (and the baby) wanted it all. Like enchiladas. And tacos. Being the hungry preggo I am, made “both”: Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Tacos!
Here’s a quicky for you all, but one that certainly doesn’t taste like it! Balsamic Shiitake Mushroom Steaks! Sure to make any carnivore in your life (or preggo craving steaks) super duper happy.
Guys. We finally did it. Years later, 2 moves, 1 kid, 1 in the slow cooker as we speak (!), and we finally made a Crock Pot Beef Pho From Scratch that we love even more than the OG Crock Pot Chicken Pho!
Don’t you just love it when you have a craving for something and then you finally stop procrastinating and actually put in the effort to finally make it? And then you realize how stinkin’ easy it was to make and that it took no time at all and while you’re devouring it you wonder why the hell you waited so long?! Yup. That was totally me with this Super Easy Coconut Shrimp Curry.
I have been meaning to post this recipe for you guys for months because it’s one of my favorite snacks to make for M. Not only is it incredibly healthy (hello broccoli and quinoa), but they are super tasty, too (hellooooo cheddar)! And when I say tasty, I don’t mean to just my little vegetable loving toddler, but these Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Bars have been loved by even super picky toddler palettes!
If you were to open our fridge at any given moment, you’ll find eggs. Lots and lots of eggs. It’s honestly the main protein I live off of. Between Avocado Baked Eggs, Crispy Hash n Eggs, or my pretty much daily Perfect Soft Scrambled Eggs, I eat them nearly everyday. And I’m always looking for new recipes that can add additional nutrition and flavor to them. These Turmeric Spinach Eggs are my newest hearty, healthy, breakfast!
Where my other tired toddler moms at? How many of you have found yourself finishing your kid’s half eaten scrambled eggs or peanut butter sandwich because you realized you forgot to make yourself something to eat? Guilty. Then I find myself exhausted, hungry, and ultimately craving something sweet and probably unhealthy. My solution, these adorable healthy little Peanut Butter Chocolate Energy Balls!
Hellooooooo! Phew what a month it’s been. Between getting a plague on New Years that had me down for multiple days and then going on vacation for a week that ended up actually being closer to two weeks due to a family emergency, I haven’t been able to cook in my own kitchen for nearly a month! And because I’m still getting back in the normal swing of things at home after being gone for so long, what new recipe did I finally make? Well just the easiest, simplest and only 15 minute Super Easy Vegetarian Fried Rice. I’m still in vacation mode, apparently. 😉
