  • Hamburger Steak with Onion Gravy … Yes, Please

    Hamburger Steak may feel a little old school but I tell you…this hamburger steak is AMAZING!  Don’t believe me… try it. Oh the Onions… So fun fact, I have not always been the biggest fan of onions.  Yep so I never have onions on my burger or hot dog, or in my salads.  I really only love onions when they are browned, like in this gravy, or onion soup, or cut up small for a hint of flavor.  I know, weird but it is just how I am.   These onions are made even better as they are cooked in the same skillet as the hamburger steaks just adding even…

  • KETO Broccoli & Chicken Bake

    KETO Broccoli & Chicken Bake is the perfect back on KETO recipe.  It comes together super quick and is SO, SO GOOOOD! Broccoli … Please! I never thought I would say this but broccoli is definately one of my MOST favorite veggies.  Yes, this is coming from the gal who did not eat any veggies growing up other than the occasional green bean.   Over the past several years I have been adding veggies into my world and broccoli has quickly become a MUST HAVE in my fridge all the time. If broccoli is a no go in your house you could use cauliflower, asparagus or another of your favorite…

  • Italian Sausage & Brussels Sprouts Skillet

    Italian Sausage & Brussels Sprouts skillet is a must make.  I am getting ready to jump back onto the KETO bandwagon and this will be on my food plan for sure. Skillet Meal in NO Time One of the best things about this one skillet recipe is how quick it comes together…in 30 minutes you can have dinner on the table.  The sausage cooks down and gives you just enough grease to sauté the shaved sprouts in, and it adds a TON of flavor to the dish s well. I purchase my brussels sprouts already shaved which saves a TON of time, if you cannot find them already shaved then…

  • Skillet Chicken Enchiladas

    Skillet Chicken Enchiladas are the perfect quick fix dinner and I am all about a quick fix dinner.  After coming home from work I defiantly love the idea of dinner being ready in less than 45 minutes.   One Pan and DONE! Everything for this recipe is all done in one skillet,  yes you read that right ONE SKILLET!  You make the sauce, cook the chicken and finish it all in one skillet.  That means only one skillet to clean and tons of flavor being created.   Make sure you use a high side skillet and not a shallow skillet… it will bubble over once you add in the tortillas…

  • Pumpkin Pasta is a must for Fall

    SO it is no secret that I love PUMPKIN everything.  Literally I am the one who gets tears in her eyes when PSL makes it debut at starbucks each Fall.  I am also that girl who goes to Trader Joes and buys EVERYTHING pumpkin they have (even the dog treats). My last shopping trip… There was also a pumpkin kringle in there.  I just CANNOT get enough pumpkin!! Really in Pasta? So I am a BIG, BIG pumpkin and pasta fan.  My first experience with it was in a ravioli (similar to the ones I got from Trader Joe’s) and then I had it with butternut squash in a lasagna…

  • KETO Poblano Chicken Casserole

    Are you a fan of stuffed jalapeños?  I AM and this KETO Poblano Chicken Casserole is everything you love about a stuffed jalapeño and MORE! Starting with Chicken! For the sake of ease I used a rotisserie chicken.  I just love how easy a rotisserie chicken can make dinner.  If you do not have one on hand, or don’t love them like I do you can use 4-5 cooked chicken breasts, and just shred them up.   Oh the sauce! The delicious sauce is a wonderful combo of cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic, chicken stock and some spices.  It is loaded with tons of FLAVOR and is so easy you…

  • Green Chile Tettrazini

    It is NO secret that I love me a good casserole and this casserole does NOT disappoint.  It has everything you love from a traditional rich and creamy tettrazni but with a little extra something. Full disclosure, obviously this is NOT keto…but last week was a rough one for me and some comfort food was much needed and for me a casserole screams comfort. Traditional…Sorta This tettrazini recipe starts like most others.  There is chicken, pasta, cream of something soup, sour cream and cheese.  What makes this recipe different is the addition of green chilies and some extra spices.   To help make it a little easier I used a…

  • KETO MEATLOAF – you NEED this in your life

    KETO Meatloaf is the epitome of comfort food in my book.  This dish takes me back to my childhood but with an update making it KETO and kid friendly. Mini in size…BIG in flavor I made this meatloaf in muffin pans not only because it makes it super easy but also because they are just so darn cute!!  Each little meatloaf is a little bigger than a meatball making them a fun size.  You can have a few for dinner and then a few for lunch the next day. I also love the size for kids.  My niece and nephew loved them! OHHHH the glaze! My favorite part of a…

  • KETO Queso Burger

    This KETO Queso Burger is everything you need in your life RIGHT NOW!  This whole burger kinda happened by accident.  I was craving a burger but I also wanted Mexican food, well really just quest dip, so I decided to marry the two into this amazing KETO QUESO BURGER! It all starts with the burger (and then the toppings) For this burger I went with a 80/20 blend of ground chuck.  If you wanted to use a 90/10 blend or 70/30 blend go for it, just make sure to adjust cooking time as needed.  The leaner the meat the faster it will cook.   I used 1 1/2 pounds of…
