We do not cook squash enough in our household, but this is a quick and easy way to cook it that we need to do more often, honestly.

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
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.
Strawberries and Cream Smoothie
I found this recipe during one of my lessons on Noom. It is quite simple, and I should have thought of it sooner to be honest. I make this several times a week. It is all green on the Noom system and it is so quick.
Chicken Wings
I love wings, but I am very particular about them. My absolute favorite are from Baumhower’s Wings. And while we have one here in Huntsville, it isn’t the most convenient to where we live. So for a football game recently I decided to make my own. There are actually two recipes below. I like my wings with a dry rub on them. Brad prefers his wings with a wet sauce on them. So I included both versions. I will say, the dry version needs some adjustment to the baking powder. While they tasted amazing, the baking powder was a bit overwhelming. And next time I hope to find the wings separated. Publix on had them as a whole wing :(
Bang Bang Cauliflower
So I love bang bang shrimp, and I love cauliflower. And while I do not like cooked cauliflower, I found that roasting cauliflower isn’t so bad. So I found this recipe online and gave it a try. It is really good, and so good I may try it with chicken or shrimp in the future too!
Taco Casserole
A friend of mine on instagram introduced me to Joy Filled Eats. I went through their website and found SO many recipes I want to try. But one that we almost immediately tried was the taco casserole. And it was AH-MAZING! It is super easy to make, and even easier to make ahead of time and freeze. It is a definite meal we are adding to the rotation and a must for entertaining! We double this recipe for a group.
Zucchini Pizza
So a friend of mine posted this recipe on her social media a few weeks ago. It looked so good, I knew we had to try it. We absolutely love it, and we make it most weekends for lunch. It’s super easy and healthy too!
Grilled Salmon
So this is a Joanna Gaines recipe that I loved making out of her Magnolia Table cookbook. I did change things up just a little bit, but we loved it! Check it out below.
Tilapia with Avocado Cream Sauce
I think this recipe may be my new favorite fish recipe. It can be made with almost any fish (the recipe I found was originally for salmon, but we didn’t have any, so we used tilapia). And it is low carb and high protein.
Turkey Sausage Balls
Since I am allergic to pork, I had to find an alternative to the classic sausage balls I made. I decided to try turkey sausage. I wasn’t a fan of ground turkey as a substitute in things. I always preferred ground chicken. But I like turkey bacon, so I thought it was worth a shot. And to be honest, I actually prefer it to pork sausage. It isn’t as greasy and has a much better overall taste. If you google turkey sausage ball recipes you find a lot of different ones. I kept mine simple. I simply used the classic recipe and just switched out the sausage. And to make it a bit less in calories, I also use fat free cheese. However, I do NOT add tabasco sauce to it anymore! I honestly forgot I did before, ha! So if you are looking for something a bit healthier, or just want to try something new, try this!
Healthy Jalapeño Poppers
In an effort to eat healthier, I have given up a lot of yummy goodness. But I am attempting to find a way to make things a bit healthier for me. One thing I made a take on was jalapeño poppers. This recipe makes quite a bit. I made half of the recipe and it was enough for Brad and I to have at lunch and dinner on a Saturday during football season (obviously with other appetizers). They can get a bit spicy, and they aren’t perfect. But they scratch that itch for me!
