When it comes to making dinner lately- I am a slacker. I’ve spent so much time unpacking, moving things around, & just everything that goes along with it that I haven’t had the kitchen space or time to whip up something complicated. As much as I love making things from scratch, sometimes you just can’t. I’m also on the hunt for ideas that help re-purpose leftovers! Keep reading to check out how we customize crostinis & I’ll have a fun giveaway at the end too!…
Spicy Thai Basil Sriracha Deviled Eggs Recipe
Fun fact: I used to completely hate eggs. This likely surprises those who follow me on instagram (check me out right here for more food, style, & adventures!) because even recently I’ve posted breakfast tacos & portabello scrambled eggs. But go back 10 years & that was just the beginning of me even bothering to give eggs a shot. I’ve come a long way since then! Today I want to share my personal favorite snack involving deviled eggs- keep reading to check out my Thai Basil Sriracha Deviled Eggs Recipe….
Easy Creamy Dill Greek Yogurt Dip Healthy Recipe
If you take a peek in a my fridge you’ll almost always find Greek yogurt. Yogurt makes it way into a ton of my recipes because it has a nice, long refrigerator life, it is good for our dogs, & it can be used in both savory & sweet recipes. Usually I buy both a large container & single serving cups (my favorites are from Chobani!) for variety. When I use my single cups I often just make dips inside the container- perfect for less dishes & less hassle! Keep reading to see my recipe for this dill & lemon Greek-influenced dip that is a favorite!…
Skinny Flourless 2 Ingredient Banana Pancakes
Growing up I just wasn’t a breakfast person. In fact, neither was my husband. Flash forward to present day & we still aren’t great at eating breakfast daily. Ryan doesn’t try at all & I often forget. The big difference is on the weekends- sometimes we crave it! We started out as newlyweds with canned biscuits & years later have graduated to some simple breakfast recipes that we can make with ingredients on hand. This healthy version of pancakes is a huge hit in our house- check out the recipe & how to change it up below!…
DIY One-Ingredient Corn Butter Recipe Perfect for Summer!
We’re definitely a corn family- big time. Even though it is just the two of us at home we tend to buy corn in bulk during the summer. We sit down together & shuck for what feels like ages & every time it is worth it. We have a deep freezer I keep stocked with it & it seems like we never grow tired of it. This corn “butter” is something I tried recently that Ryan & I both really liked so I thought I’d share it with you today!…

DIY Dehydrated Ranch Carrot Chips + My Dehydrator
Recently we’ve been pushing to snack healthier around the house. We’re moving in only a few months now (the final countdown!) so now is the time to clear out the junk so we don’t have to move it! I actually purchased a really affordable option off Amazon (you can see it here!) & we ended up using it every single day! I couldn’t believe how useful it was for herbs, veggies, & seriously tasty snacks. Oh- & dog treats which I think I’ll discuss in another post! The new dehydrator got SO much use that we had a big lineup of backlogged items to dehydrate even! Next my loving husband splurged & bought me the best dehydrator on the market- the Excalibur 3926TB Food Dehydrator! It is CRAZY & I plan to have a bunch more recipes, DIYs, & reviews using it! To start out I chose a snack I’ve been munching on a ton in the past month- carrot chips with a bit of seasoning! Keep reading to check them out!

Almond-Crusted Chicken Breasts with Pesto, Roasted Tomatoes, & Quinoa Recipe
Almonds. Almond all the things. When Ryan & I first got married we were flat broke. We refer to the younger versions of ourselves as “broke as a joke” on a semi-regular basis. We may not be rolling in dough (well sometimes I roll dough) now but whenever we think things are bad that’s our reminder. Almond-crusted chicken is one of those recipes that costs a bit more than breadcrumbs & really tastes special. & looks way more fancy. True story! Check out how ridiculously easy it is to recreate below!…

While this still isn’t perfect it was tasty…& inspired by a recipe in Clean Slate written by the editors of Martha Stewart Living. This dish is healthy, easy to make, & has some brightness to perk up the tastebuds. …
Spicy Poached Chicken Breast with Thai Basil in Ginger Broth

It can also really help with weight loss & making us feel more full!
