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…

Even better it is loaded with veggies and yummy turkey smoked sausage making this dish not only easy but also delicious and not so bad for you too.

Roasting it makes it so much better
I am so excited the weekend is here. Fall is starting to filter in, baseball playoffs are getting exciting and football is what the weekends are all about. To make this weekend something to remember you have to try this Roasted Salsa Verde. Green is better (in my opinion) My favorite salsa has always been a green salsa. I love the hint of tang the tomatillos bring with a little heat and freshness of lime in each bite. I judge Mexican food restaurants by their green sauce. If I want to pour it all over anything and everything then it is a good restaurant. Roasting is the…

A whole new way to Fajita
I could literally have a fajita, of some sort, for every singe meal. Yes for breakfast, lunch and dinner and maybe even a snack. As much as I love fajitas, sometimes I just don’t want to take the time to fix them…well that is until now. Peppers and Onion…OH YEAH! One of my favorite parts of any fajitas are the peppers and onions. I just love the little charred bits and the hint of sweetness and a little spice in each bite. Even better they add a ton of flavor to the meat, in this case chicken, which makes them a must have in all my fajita dishes. Careful…

Roasted Balsamic Veggie Goodness
Over the last few years I have learned to LOVE veggies. I love them raw, grilled & steamed but my favorite is roasted. And these roasted veggies are my ALL TIME FAVORITE!! Good for you… Now we all know that veggies are a good choice but when you make them extra yummy they become a GREAT choice. The key to make them even better than normal is all in the seasoning. Just a little goes a long way. So with a little extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili powder you can take ordinary and make it extra-ordinary. Since the veggies are loaded with goodness for you splurge…
