Chicken Souvlaki
Chicken Souvlaki is a classic Greek dish consisting of marinated grilled meat that is served with vegetables, creamy Tzatziki sauce, and pita bread. It is a low carb, low in fat and very fresh. So, for a very good reason, it’s a popular street food in Greece! Souvlaki means “meat on a skewer”. Pork is the most common type of meat used but chicken, beef, and lamb are other options. The recipe I am going to share with you today uses chicken. It’s packed with flavor and will bring a taste of Greece to your kitchen! The recipe can be found here. This is a 3-part recipe. You must prepare the chicken souvlaki (aka skewers), the yogurt sauce (tzatziki), and tomato cucumber salad. Each has a vibrant, fresh taste. You will feel satisfied without feeling full after this meal. Let’s start with the chicken. Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, … Continue reading

State Fair Home Edition
The Minnesota State Fair is in full swing. Do you plan on going? I know a lot of people that plan on attending the fair and a lot of people that don’t, for various reasons. I sure love the fair and missed not being able to attend last year. Unfortunately, this year, it’s also not in the cards for me. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy some delicious fair food at home, and you can do the same! First off, I want to share with you a link to a blog I wrote last year. The blog is called Your Favorite MN State Fair Food…at Home, because that’s what the blog is about – creating and enjoying all the classic state fair foods in the comfort of your own home. I wrote this blog because the fair was cancelled last year and wanted to give everyone the option of … Continue reading

Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwiches
Chicken. Bacon. Ranch. Three things that pair amazingly well together. Combine them in sandwich form and you have one mighty fine meal. Think tender chicken, creamy ranch (which really goes with just about anything), and crispy bacon smothered between a bun with some melted cheese for good measure. This is what dreams are made of. I may be getting ahead of myself, but I do sure enjoy a good Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich! The recipe can be found here. Start by cooking the bacon according to package instructions. I like to move the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to absorb some of the grease and set aside until I’m ready to use. Add the cream cheese to a large saucepan or pot and heat over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to melt the cream cheese. Once it’s about halfway melted, add the entire packet of ranch seasoning (Ugh, it … Continue reading

Cauliflower Parmesan
Cauliflower Parmesan is a real delight! Not only is it delicious and hearty, it’s also a vegetarian meal that will satisfy any carnivore (I think…don’t quote me on this :)). So, if you are craving Italian food, I recommend you give this a try! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the cauliflower into 4 planks (or 4 cauliflower steaks if you are familiar with that term). Place the planks in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown. Remove from the oven and top with marinara sauce. Add 1-2 cups, depending on how much marinara sauce you want. This direction is 100% to your taste. I like a little extra … Continue reading

Breakfast Enchiladas
Breakfast Enchiladas are a great way to start your day! Enchiladas are tortillas that are filled with various ingredients, rolled up, covered with sauce, and baked to perfection. For my Breakfast Enchiladas, I’m swapping a typical enchilada sauce for whisked eggs, and filling the inside with cheese and diced ham. These Breakfast Enchiladas can be customized to meet your taste preferences. I used diced ham, but you could use bacon or sausage. I used white onion, but you could substitute with bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, etc. Really make these your own and use the recipe below as a guide for quantities! Another plus side of this recipe is you can make the Breakfast Enchiladas the day before and bake when you are ready. You can also make them the morning of…. like really early the morning you plan to bake if you are an early riser. You want the dish … Continue reading

BBQ Chicken Pizza Rolls
BBQ Chicken Pizza Rolls are a spin on a classic pizza roll recipe. Imagine a pizza but replace the traditional ingredients like pepperoni and sausage and with BBQ sauce and chicken. Then imagine that same pizza in a bite sized form. That is basically what a pizza roll is; all your favorite ingredients rolled up and nestled in fluffy dough. The BBQ sauce replaces the marinara sauce in this dish and add the perfect amount of zest to each bite. It pairs perfectly with the tender chicken, crisp bacon, and melted cheese. The recipe can be found here. Start by removing the pizza dough from the tube. Place it in a well-oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. You want the dough to come to room temperature and then rise for about 1 hour. This makes the dough easier to work with, similar to homemade dough. And since I’m on … Continue reading

Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a delicious, low carb dinner option, and are better than takeout! That’s right…. I said it. Sometimes homemade meals are better than takeout. These lettuce wraps are restaurant style and come together in about 20 minutes. They are filled with tender chicken, cashews, ginger, garlic, and plenty of heat! Each lettuce wrap is full of flavor and make quite the healthy meal option. The recipe can be found here. Start by slicing the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Then, season with salt and pepper and set aside. An alternate option would be to substitute ground chicken or ground turkey if you prefer. You obviously don’t need to slice either of those but should still season with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken stock, soy sauce, ginger, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, and cornstarch. Whisk until well combined and set aside. The flavors … Continue reading

Instant Pot Garlic Chicken Pasta
Flavorful and creamy Instant Pot Garlic Chicken Pasta will make weeknight cooking a breeze! It’s rich, without being too rich, easy to make, and delicious. Plus, it’s a one-pot meal because it is entirely made in the Instant Pot. That’s a win-win for dishes and cleanup if you ask me. The chicken is simmered in a rich and creamy sauce that envelopes the tender pasta noodles. Each bite is filled with wonderful flavor. It’s like eating an alfredo sauce that doesn’t actually taste like alfredo. This is a meal the whole family will enjoy! You can jazz it up with some spinach leaves for added color or substitute the chicken for ground beef. If you are looking for a vegetarian option, skip the meat and add mushrooms instead. The recipe can be found here. Start by adding salt, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to a large Ziploc … Continue reading

Grilled Jalapeno Poppers
If you are searching for the perfect appetizer or side for your next cookout, look no further! Grilled Jalapeno Poppers are the way to go! They are stuffed with an addictive mixture of bacon, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. The rich and creamy combination of the stuffing contrasts the spicy jalapeno peppers leaving you wanting more. This is a great alternative to the breaded and fried version because they are fresh, cook up nicely on the grill, and are quite addicting 🙂 You can even skip the bacon for a vegetarian option if you prefer. The recipe can be found here. We own a Jalapeno Grill Rack that we use for this recipe, which I find quite wonderful to use. If you don’t have one, I highly recommend getting one! Start by preheating the grill to 325 degrees F. It can be tricky to keep the grill temperature consistent once … Continue reading

Pizza for Breakfast!
Two of my favorite things to eat are breakfast foods and pizza. There is nothing like a good brunch with plenty of options to choose from but there is also something so satisfying about leftover pizza for breakfast. So really, pizza is a breakfast food 🙂 Today I want to share with you my recipe for a super simple Breakfast Pizza. We actually ate this for dinner one night (breakfast for dinner = brinner at our house) and it was the perfect meal, but you could easily whip this up on the weekend for breakfast. It’s a quick recipe that is ready in under 30 minutes and tastes incredible. The recipe is also customizable. We had cheese, bacon, and egg pizza but you could substitute the bacon with sausage, add some diced onions or bell peppers, etc. The recipe can be found here. Start by cooking the bacon to package … Continue reading
