Today, I snapped. I ate three cookies. One of my coworkers brought in some homemade sugar cookies with icing and I went in for the usual "smell but don't touch" trick and failed. After eating one--I was in heaven. Two more cookies later and I felt bad about my poor choices in life. I won't… Continue reading Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce
Sometimes you just need a quick and breezy dinner to get on the table in seconds flat. This is one of those meals. Born out of my obsession with sausage & peppers, this recipe has become my go-to on super busy workdays. It takes no time to put together (less than 20 minutes) and keeps… Continue reading Sausage & Peppers with Cauliflower Rice

Like the pictures I took of that steak salad with chimichurri dressing? Gorgeous. Other times, it's seemingly impossible. Do you know how… Continue reading Meatball Parmesan
I've been feeling a bit under the weather this weekend, but have pushed through to make sure I meal prepped for the week. If I don't meal prep, I'm absolutely lost. There's also NO way I can cook on the weekdays. I'm usually pretty pooped after work and there's no way I can slave over… Continue reading Creamy Pesto Chicken Skillet
