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.

Mar 25 Homemade King Cake

I know we are beyond Mardi Gras, but I did want to share this very easy king cake recipe I found on TikTok. It is mostly about presentation and buying the right cinnamon rolls!

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

Air Fryer Muffins

Feb 18 Air Fryer Muffins

I don’t know why I never considered making muffins in the air fryer. I simply halved the recipes (and mix), then I used silicone muffin cups. I used the bake function on my air fryer, so the bake time was about the same. But you may want to adjust your baking time depending on your air fryer. I would just keep an eye on it the first time around. The silicone muffin cups have made quite the difference in the amount of options I have when using the air fryer now.

Chicken Tender Wraps

Feb 11 Chicken Tender Wraps

Lunch can be a struggle. I get bored easily, and I want things quick. I don’t care for leftovers, so I feel my options are fairly limited. But I decided to make myself some wraps using chicken tenders from Slim Chickens. This turned out perfect and is a great lunch to have on occasion.

Cajun Shrimp and Grits

Feb 4 Cajun Shrimp and Grits

I found this recipe by searching past recipes on Home Chef’s website. I did adjust it some for our taste. And next time I would make this using shrimp with the tail OFF.

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).

Jan 21 S'mores Dip

I love making s’mores. I went through a phase of making s’mores at home in the microwave probably once a week for a while. I have wanted to make a s’mores dip for quite sometime, but it makes a lot, so I needed a group to make it for. So for Christmas with the Owens, I made it. It was quite delicious and actually easy to reheat.

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.

Crockpot chicken fajitas are easy and yummy. Perfect for a Tuesday night fiesta. You literally just have to heat up the tortillas (if you want), and you are set for dinner! Buy some tortilla chips and premade salsa and call it a night.

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.

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.

Twice Baked Potatoes

Sep 3

Sep 3 Twice Baked Potatoes

These are very classic, but also often forgotten about. We love them, and it help keep us from eating an entire potato! I really did just wing it when it came to the ingredients, so adjust according to your preferences. But I am listing about what I used.

Air Fryer Seasoned Okra

Aug 27 Air Fryer Seasoned Okra

I love our air fryer, but we go through moments of not using it. We love cooking okra, but it can stink up the house if we fry it. So I decided to try it in the air fryer. I have made it two ways. You can find one way here. The other way is below and is much easier.

Aug 20 Yoat Bowls

I discovered these “yoat” bowls on Instagram a few months ago. It took me a bit to perfect mine, but I thought I would share!

Aug 13 Air Fried Salmon

We have been having salmon a lot lately, and I found this recipe on Instagram that uses the air fryer to make it. It really crisps it and the flavor is great.

Aug 6 Crockpot Candy

So I first found out about crockpot candy many, many years ago at my last job. One of the admins brought it in one holiday, and I fell it love with it. I know it sounds crazy, but it was great. It is super easy to make, and it is a great holiday treat.

My Noom Goal Specialist shared this recipe with me a while back. I love shrimp scampi, and this is such an easier way to make it by using your crockpot!

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.
