Eggs in Purgatory
Eggs in Purgatory is yet another breakfast we love. I whipped up a pan of these this weekend, and they definitely sufficed the morning hunger. The best part of making these for breakfast is that you likely have all the ingredients already in your pantry and refrigerator. If you don’t have the exact ingredients I am sure you have something that can suffice. It’s all about working with what you have. This recipe is the perfect way to spice up your eggs. We place the egg and sauce mixture on top of a piece of toast, but you can do as you please. Other options you could use: Bagel Hashbrowns…

Kiwi Blackberry Salads
I crave vegetables and fruits everyday most all day. Don’t get me wrong I do crave other things, but there is something about eating clean and healthy that makes me feel so good. It gives me energy and does not drag me down. Monday’s tend to be salad days at our house, as over the weekend we let ourselves indulge in some of the not so healthy food loves. Last night I whipped together this Kiwi Blackberry Salad. It was the perfect combination of sweet and refreshing for dinner. Both my husband and I loved it. The only “pain” to making this salad is peeling the kiwi. I feel like…

Sun Dried Tomato Gnocchi
All the yum here again today. We had this delicious Sun Dried Tomato Gnocchi the other night and boy it hit the spot. It literally took me no more than a half hour to prep and cook. Meaning it’s the perfect meal for during the week or even weekend when your life/ schedule have you going like crazy or when you are just feeling the need to relax but still need to get something for dinner made. I kept our Sun Dried Tomato Gnocchi very simple and didn’t add many veggies, however if you want more veggies, definitely feel free to add them in. Ideas for additional vegetables to add…

Pepper Nachos
My cravings for potato chips and tortilla chips never seem to go away. In an effort to not give into a “cheat” meal I made these pepper nachos. Boy oh boy were they delicious, and I didn’t feel guilty that I was eating horribly. I used a combination of different colored peppers with mine as I like a colorful plate, but use whatever color peppers are your favorite. Toppings I didn’t add a boat load of toppings to mine. When making them I kind of felt more was less. I stuck with the protein, fiber and of course the best food group around cheese. I then added in a few…

November Recipe Picks
I thought I would try something a little different on here and do a post on a few recipe picks the first Tuesday of each month. In doing this I plan to feature different food bloggers and their scrumptious dishes/delights. I think this will be a fun way to not only diversify our dinners/ food at home, but to change things up on here. Don’t worry I won’t stop posting recipes. I love to cook, so this will never go away. I plan to pick a different theme each month, so that we really get the our food palettes diversified. November Theme This month I chose to focus on fall.…

BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowls
You are probably wondering why in the world I haven’t posted a recipe in a while. Well the truth is life has been crazy. These last 2 months have been consumed with house projects, work and our wedding which is coming up in October. Where does time go? I have been trying to get back on the cooking every night train, but at the end of the day I have been a bit exhausted. I made these BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowls the other week and they were heavenly, and I didn’t feel guilty eating it (not going to break the wedding dress). It has been quite the struggle…

Baked Shrimp Boil
All throughout the summer I have been watching numerous friends and bloggers have all sorts of seafood boils, and I have been extremely jealous. Well, I decided to take matters into my own hands last night and make a bake shrimp boil for dinner, and I am super happy I did. This Baked Shrimp Boil was super easy and tasted delicious. When I say super easy the prep was no more than 10 minutes and the dishes from prep were a minimal. The fun thing with this recipe is you can be more adventurous and really make the recipe you. The sausage you use with it can be picked by…
