Happy junk food season.... I mean happy football season! TBH I could care less about football season. I joke that one of the reasons I married Paul is because he won't make me watch football with him - but really it's not a joke, this is one of the many reasons I fell in love with Paul. Awww how romantic, right?! Seriously, I only went to football games in high school to walk around the track and talk with friends, I never once paid attention to the score. However, I will say even though I am … [Read more...]

Mango Coconut Curry Chicken with Rice Noodles
It's that time of year when I trade my salads and no-heat-meals in for comforting, warming foods. This mango coconut curry chicken is my way of dipping my toes into the season of fall foods. It doesn't require the oven so it doesn't heat up the entire house. Yet it's warm and got all of those comforting curry spices in that sauce. I can't dive in head first to fall quite yet, I'm not exactly ready for all the pumpkin baked goods - there is time for that - but I am starting to crave heartier … [Read more...]
Loaded Watermelon Salad with Pesto
It's the end of August and I am in denial that fall is on it's way. Yes, it's still several weeks until the calendar officially says it's fall. But here in Iowa the mornings have been getting cooler (58 degrees) and I have noticed a few leaves have started to turn color ever so slightly. Part of my says NOOOOO, it can't be fall yet, I am not ready! The other part of me is really enjoying the comforting warmth of my hot tea during the cool mornings. TBH this August has not felt much like August … [Read more...]
Pineapple Turkey Burgers with Homeade Teriyaki Sauce
It's pineapple turkey burger time!!!! Confession: I am not a good burger maker. Seriously, I form burger patties way to small for the bun and they almost always fall apart on me when I go to flip them! Not to mention if I am making a turkey burger rather than a beef burger - which was my goal for this recipe. This, my friends is the reason why you haven't seen burger recipes on this blog yet. Well, okay that's a lie, I did make two burgers waaaaay back in the beginning - the pictures aren't … [Read more...]

Chicken Fajita Bowls with Cilantro Lime Rice
I originally wanted this recipe to be burrito bowls - like inspired by Chipotle's burrito bowls but then I got carried away with the sauteed bell peppers and onions because I always ask for the fajita veggies on my burrito bowl and always want MORE of them - so then this bowl just seemed more like fajita bowls rather than burrito bowls. You know what, I'm okay with that! Chicken Fajita Bowls with Cilantro Lime Rice it is! Friends, are you ready for the deliciousness that is happening here?! … [Read more...]
Thai Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Peanut Sauce
Thai Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Peanut Sauce combines two of my favorite things, Thai food, peanut sauce, and sweet potatoes - okay that was three things ha! Either way these stuffed sweet potatoes are bursting with flavor and packed with nutrition! I know what you're thinking: 1 hour and 25 minutes to make this recipe?! Really, it's not so bad, most of that time is taken up inactive time with the sweet potatoes cooking away in the oven. And during that time is when you can mix up the … [Read more...]
