Sausage and Tomato Stuffed Zucchini

February 18, 2015 By Katie Leave a Comment

Zucchini is a great veggie to stuff.  Just scrap out the seeds and you have the perfect vehicle to fill with whatever your heart desires. The possibilities are endless! The filling I used this time was super flavorful.  Between the spicy sausage, the sweet tomatoes, and the fresh basil, all of my taste-buds were super […]

Slow Cooker Pot Roast

February 15, 2015 By Katie Leave a Comment

It is freezing here in NJ!  I mean FREEEEEEEEZING!  The low tonight is -2°!  NEGATIVE two! The temperatures outside made it very easy to pick this Slow Cooker Sunday meal.  It’s hearty and comforting; it should warm you right up!  The best part of this meal is that everything gets cooked right in your slow […]

Stuffed Cabbage Soup

January 27, 2015 By Katie Leave a Comment

Winter has certainly hit NJ in the last few days.  We even had some snow.  Yes, just some snow.  Not a blizzard, like every weatherman said we would.  Instead, we woke up to a few inches of snow.  It was enough to give me a snow day today though, which I am always grateful for! […]

Happy (almost) New Year! 2014 was a fantastic year for sure! The blog got a makeover (which I love), and my husband and I found out we are expecting! I can’t wait for 2015 when we welcome our baby…. GIRL!!! It’s a girl!  Yay!  We are so excited! The end of 2014 has been especially […]

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is in just 2 days?!  (And that it’s exactly one month until Christmas?!) I love hosting Thanksgiving, but it definitely requires a lot of prep!  Here are some tips to help you get organized (and more importantly, stay calm!): Keep appetizers simple. Don’t overdo it.  The meal itself is more […]

BBQ Chicken Quinoa Casserole and an Announcement!

BBQ Chicken Quinoa Casserole and an Announcement!

November 16, 2014 By Katie Leave a Comment

Hello there.  (I hope you’re still there!) To say it has been a while is certainly an understatement!  It’s been just over two months. I (think) I have a good enough excuse though… It’s very exciting news!  And, while I’m feeling great now (in my 16th week), I was feeling exhausted and also a little […]

Slow Cooker Meat Sauce with Zucchini Noodles

Slow Cooker Meat Sauce with Zucchini Noodles

September 14, 2014 By Katie Leave a Comment

I’m breaking out my slow cooker again for an absolutely delicious meat sauce!  It’s so flavorful, and it’s loaded with both ground chuck and hot sausage.  I even snuck a couple of red peppers into it for some added nutrients.  My husband never even noticed them!  This recipe reminded me of my mom’s (and aunts’) […]

Grilled Cheese with Arugula and Roasted Peppers

Grilled Cheese with Arugula and Roasted Peppers

September 11, 2014 By Katie Leave a Comment

Before I get to this delicious grilled cheese sandwich, I just need to (ahem) apologize for going MIA the last two weeks.  School started back up.  It really is an adjustment getting back into the swing of things.  I’ve come home every night the past two weeks with great intentions of cooking and cleaning and […]

Buffalo Chicken Burger Salad

Buffalo Chicken Burger Salad

August 28, 2014 By Katie Leave a Comment

I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before, but let me repeat myself… I love buffalo chicken!  (Buffalo anything, really.) Buffalo wings, though, aren’t always the healthiest choice, so I am always looking for new, waist-friendly ways to get my buffalo fix.  This salad did just that. The salad itself is loaded with the classic buffalo […]

I CANNOT believe that Labor Day Weekend is upon us! Where did the summer (or really August) go?! If you (unlike me) are going to be celebrating the holiday this weekend (perhaps at a BBQ?), here’s a perfect spiralized salad for you to bring.  It’s light and refreshing, but also bright from the fresh lime […]
