Oct 11 EveryPlate

Household, Randomness

Back in August, a friend of mine introduced me to EveryPlate. You may remember last year I tried Green Chef. I loved the idea and concept, but the cost was not worth it, the produce was inconsistently bad, and the food itself was too flavorful. Normally flavor is good, but it was sometimes not the best. However, the friend of my was introduced to EveryPlate and raved about it. The cost was reasonable, the produce and meat were always good, the delivery days were great and reliable, and the taste was great.

I made this honey garlic shrimp a few weeks ago for my mom, and I really liked how it turned out.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Jan 28 Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I found these wraps in the Noom app way back when I was doing Noom. I did make some adjustments to their recipe to better fit what I had on hand and what I prefer (I am not a mushroom fan for instance).

Chicken Taco Jars

Jan 14 Chicken Taco Jars

I have been searching for some easy lunch recipes. I stumbled across this one, and I immediately wanted to try it. It was really good the day of. My lettuce did get a bit soggy the next day. But I did really like how easy it was to make in general.

Sep 26 Green Chef

Randomness, Household

I have wanted to try a meal delivery service for quite some time. My problem has been the overall cost, lack meal options that both Brad and I both like, and delivery day. Ideally I would like something that could delivery on a Monday so we can eat on it all week, but that has been near impossible to find. One day while listening to a podcast, I heard about Green Chef. The meal option sounded good, and they delivered on Wednesdays. Price was not great, but I did have a decent discount to at least make it reasonable to try.

Baked Feta Pasta

Sep 24 Baked Feta Pasta

A few weeks ago, my mom and I decided to make the infamous Tik Tok feta pasta dish. I have wanted to try it for a while, but I know Brad isn’t the biggest fan of pasta with his diabetes. While it turned out good, it wasn’t as amazing as everyone says. I think it would be great if you added in some chicken or shrimp to offset the richness of it.

Cauliflower Nachos

Jun 4 Cauliflower Nachos

My Noom goal specialist sent me the recipe a while back, and I loved it. I wouldn’t necessarily fix it every time we did nachos because I also love my homemade tortilla chips, but it is a great alternative.

Spicy Garlic Shrimp

Apr 23 Spicy Garlic Shrimp

I found this recipe on the Noom app. It was spicy (obviously), but it was really good. I am happy to add another shrimp recipe to our arsenal.

Apr 16 Blackened Scallop Pasta

Mar 19 Quick Stir Fry

I am always looking for new and quick lunch ideas. Well we eat out every single Thursday due to Melody’s standing food therapy appointment. I get really tired of eating out at the same place every week. Especially since they have such a limited menu. So one week I only got their grilled chicken tenders, then I came home and whipped up a quick and delicious stir fry. I bought some frozen chicken too to have on hand to use when we don’t eat out.

Mar 16 Pizza Bowls

I found this recipe on the Home Chef website. I modified it some to fit better within Noom and to lower the carb count for Brad. It turned out delicious, and it is definitely a recipe we will make again. What is nice is you can adjust all the ingredients to toppings you prefer and customize it for whoever you are making it for!

Honey Ginger Salmon

Mar 12 Honey Ginger Salmon

This salmon has become a favorite of mine. It is so quick and easy, I have found myself making it for lunch and throwing it on top of a salad. I buy frozen salmon and just thaw it when I need it. It is also a great recipe in terms of Noom.

Baked Scallops with Herbs and White Wine

Feb 19 Baked Scallops with Herbs and White Wine

I found this recipe from Noom’s app. We love scallops and just don’t cook them often. This recipe is exceptionally easy and foolproof.

Buffalo Chicken Bites

Jan 1 Buffalo Chicken Bites

These buffalo chicken bites are a great fix if you are wanting to eat healthy, but miss things like buffalo wings. I found these on the Noom app, and I adjusted the recipe to fit our preferences.

Dec 18 Old Bay Shrimp

So I found this recipe on the Noom app. It has become one of our favorite recipes to make when the weather is nice enough to grill. If you like shrimp, you will like this!

Nov 13 Sheet Pan Shrimp Scampi

We love shrimp, and we have been having it more and more lately. I hate to keep cooking it the same way, so I have been trying new recipes. This one is really good and super easy.

Oct 30 Mexican Corn

So I bought a bag of Mexican corn from Costco a while back and knew I would love it, but I didn’t. It just had an awful flavor. This recipe has all the flavor I hoped for, but my only complaint was how cold it was after mixing everything in with it. I think it would be great heated up after the fact, maybe, or even eaten right away.

Oct 16

Oct 16 Burrito Bowls

These burrito bowls are fairly healthy with the use of cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. If you like the ones from Chipotle or Salsarita’s, you should like these! I found this recipe via Instagram. Luckily I couldn’t really tell the rice was cauliflower.

Bisquick Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

Oct 9 Bisquick Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

So I usually take the lazy way out and buy these biscuit mixes pre-made from the store. They are $1, you add milk or water, and all done. But I don’t always think about getting them, so I also make them from scratch on occasion.

Sep 25 Air Fryer Okra

We are loving our air fryer. One of our favorite fried things (or at least mine) is fried okra. But frying it in grease leaves the house stinky. When doing the recipe below, I actually tried two methods. I find this recipe is about as close as I can get to real fried okra.
