Shredded Chicken Street Tacos

It’s Taco Tuesday, everybody! Well in my case it’s tacos I ate on Super Bowl Sunday AND ate on not-so-meatless-Monday, that I happen to be eating on a Tuesday. AND will also maybe be gobbling up again on Wednesday–Thursday–Friday. When I like something (like reeeeally like it to the point of making embarrassing, low octave,…

Easy Crockpot Pulled Chicken

This shredded chicken is easy eats! Super simple with minimal effort, and makes a TON of meat to keep those weeknight meals packed with protein. When I say “I love me a one pot meal” I sincerely mean it. One dish dirtied? That means only one dish that has to be washed?? SOLD. You had…

Roasted Strawberry Sauce

Just like banana bread is your go-to for using up overly ripe bananas, this easy 4-ingredient strawberry sauce will help you salvage berries that are a tad past their prime. Think jam, with BIG berry chunks folded in. But a little bolder and a bit saucier. As the calendar pages start to flip ever closer…

Simple Roasted Butternut Squash

Today’s post is more like a “how-to” than a recipe. It’s beautifully basic but doesn’t skimp on delivering BIG in the flavor department. Feast your eyes on a whole lot of freshly roasted butternut squash. Roasting up a batch of this covetable winter squash makes way for a whole lot of DELICIOUS THINGS to start…

Lemon Basil Hummus

Making smooth, ultra-creamy, impress-all-your-friends with that “WHAT? No way that you made this” hummus is SO simple. Like sinfully simple. We’re talkin’ easy peasy lemon squeezey! Which coincidentally, this recipe will actually have some “lemon squeezies” in it. It also has herby little flecks of fresh basil leaves blended into it, giving it little bits…

Slow Roasted Sticky Sweet Potatoes

Let me start by saying that this recipe was a complete and utter accident. A face-palm worthy disaster that happens to have a happy ending but I can claim zero intentional credit for. On this fateful day, I did the ONE thing I was not supposed to do. I forgot about the oven. And I…

Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Chocolate pudding cups were as good as GOLD when I was a kid. I would try my darndest to trade my mom’s thoughtfully prepared, healthy lunch snacks for a humble, lowly pudding cup that might be lurking inside a classmate’s lunchbox. To an eight-year-old, it was the holy grail of lunch-time swaps. Sorry, Mom. If…

Oatmeal Cookie Granola

Guys. This granola is all kinds of scrumptious. It doubles as a decadent breakfast cereal or a satisfying little snack. It’s got that majorly craveable crunch-factor and a cinnamon-raisin flavor combo that reminds me of eating a big, toasty, fresh-from-the-oven oatmeal cookie. Meet your new favorite topping for baked fruit, yogurt, parfaits, and puddings. Load…
