Skillet Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
Skillet Brussels Sprouts and Bacon are the perfect quick side for dinner tonight. Literally can be ready in 20 minutes! KETO baby! I love this side not only because it is Brussels Sprouts (which I LOVE) but it is also KETO friendly, oh yeah and there is bacon. I mean I am not sure it can get any better than sprouts, bacon, butter and super quick and easy. PS… The flavor is AMAZING! One pan and done I love when a dish is made all in one pan, and this time was all about the skillet. First you fry up the cut up bacon and then quick sauté the sprouts…

Cranberry Pistachio White Chocolate Shortbread
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE shortbread. Anytime there is a shortbread option on a cookie platter that is the one I go for first. There is just something so decadent in each buttery bite. So much yummy I am a happy girl with just a plain shortbread (like this one), but for the Holidays I decided to amp it up a bit with a little extra something. To start with I wanted a little something tart and pretty so I added in one of my favorite holiday tasted, dried cranberries. Next for a little crunch I went with another favorite, pistachio’s. I love how they taste and how they look,…

Quick Black Beans
Do sides ever stump you when your planning for dinner? They do me. I get bored with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes or a simple salad. I love beans but to make beans from scratch takes forever and rice, well rice can get boring as well. Do not fear though…I am taking canned beans (which can be pretty bland) to the next level…and it is SO EASY! 30 Minutes and DONE Making beans from scratch takes several hours, but these black beans only take 30 minutes. Yes, 30 minutes is all you need to make this delicious side dish. There is a little bit of heat, a ton of flavor…

this ain’t your normal sugar cookie
Sugar cookies are my mom’s favorite cookie. She would eat them everyday, if I made them for her everyday. Thankfully for her I don’t…or her time at the gym would be a lot more than it is right now. Time for something new My Mom is not the only one who loves sugar cookies though. I am also a HUGE fan so when I was at one of my favorite cooking store (Sur La Table) and saw these cookie stamps I knew it was time to make these shortbread sugar cookies. Since I was going to be using a new technique I decided to use a new recipe. I have…

Chili Rubbed and oh Sooooo Good
School is back in session for most everyone and that means busy weeks, busy weekends and practically no time to cook. It is crazy I don’t even have any little people and my days and nights are busier than ever. How does that happen? Maybe I am just amping up for the Holiday season. Well whatever the reason….I am here to help you. This fish is a perfect recipe for the busiest of nights. First lets rub it down… Now I love salmon on it’s own but when you rub it with a little goodness then it becomes even better. For this salmon I wanted to give it a little…

quick, skinny and oh so good fajitas
I have a confession (one I have made several times before, but it probably needs to be made again) I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD! I am not overly picky…I love tacos, burritos, enchiladas but I especially love fajitas! I love that you get all the yummies that Mexican food has to offer but without a lot of the calories and fat of some other options (such as tacos, burritos or enchiladas). You can have fajitas made with beef, shrimp, chicken or just veggies…all of which are good but when I decided to do a quick one pan fajita skillet at home I knew I wanted to use chicken as it…
