  • 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 sautĆ© 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…

  • Easy Shortbread Cookies

    Shortbread Cookies are my mom’s most favorite cookie.  Anytime I ask her what she wants for her birthday or a holiday treat she says shortbread…and these are her MOST FAVORITE recipe. What makes them so special? First thing is the Vanilla Bean Paste.  It adds a true vanilla flavor to these cookies, along with the cute little specks from the vanilla bean making these cookies look a little bit fancier then your typical shortbread.   If you do not have vanilla bean pasta that is ok you can use vanilla extract, but of you can get your hands on vanilla bean extract I would. Secondly, these cookies have less powder…

  • Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Chocolate Chip cookies are my down fall and these Brown Sugar ones are a must.  If there is one close by you can count on me to try it.  I am always on the search for the BEST Chocolate Chip cookie, and while I have some favorites (such as these) I am a BIG, BIG fan of this recipe. Can there be too much chocolate? In my opinion there can never be too much chocolate in a cookie.  To make these cookies something super special I used 2 types of chocolate, dark and semi sweet chocolate.  I love the bite of the dark chocolate and the smoothness of the semi…

  • 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…

  • Toasted Pecan Bars are the ONLY Bar you need…

    Toasted Pecan Pie Bars are seriously the ONLY bars you ever need to make.  They are loaded with TONS of toasted pecans, a super gooey center and shortbread type crust that will make you smile.  Trust me these need to be on your Holiday dessert table. Toasting is KEY! For me the key to these toasted pecan bars is toasting the pecans.  There is just something so delicious about a toasted nut, in particular pecans.  I love the extra depth of flavor it brings to a dish, especially when they are the star of the show. I toast mine on the stovetop…if you wanted to toast them in the oven…

  • A Christmas Tradition

    Christmas is just around the corner and I think I am going to have to make these again.  Don’t be scared…you can do this. It is all about Christmas patience Homemade cinnamon rolls are 1000% better than the canned version, but beware you have to plan ahead.  You need several hours (I started the process the night before) to let the dough proof and get ready to roll up into rolls.    SO what is proofing you ask?  Proofing is when you let the dough rise.  For this dough we are wanting it to rise, or proof, quite a bit.  The goal is at least double from its original size.…
