Pork tenderloins have been on sale at my grocery store lately so I've been buying them up. Tenderloin is probably my favorite cut of pork. As the name implies, it's super tender---but only if it's correctly cooked. Many times, home cooks will overcook pork and let it dry out. There's nothing worse than a tough… Continue reading Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage

Garlic Parmesan Kielbasa Skillet
Can I just live outside right now? Seriously. If I could haul my work computer outside I would do it today. It's absolutely breathtaking outside. It's 60 degrees and overcast. That's my idea of perfect weather. Unfortunately, I'll be trapped behind a computer screen all day at work. There might be a chance or two… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Kielbasa Skillet
Low Carb Breakfast Hash
There's something magical about today. We're on the cusp of our first major cold front since March, and all is calm right now. The trees are still, the sun is shining, and I haven't heard a bird chirp all morning. It's like they know cold weather is coming. It's officially, officially my favorite time of… Continue reading Low Carb Breakfast Hash
Chicken & Zucchini Poppers
Snacks play a really important part in my life. I can't go more than a few hours without a pick-me-up, and having homemade snacks at the drop of a hat is a must. I usually take a snack break around 3 in the morning (remember, I work nights!) and that's after eating my "breakfast" at… Continue reading Chicken & Zucchini Poppers
Thai Peanut Chicken Flatbread
My first experience with Thai food wasn't that long ago. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to Thai cuisine. There was a Thai restaurant in my hometown, but it was vastly different than the Thai food I've had since then. I'm thinking that place just called itself Thai, but was more like a dumbed-down… Continue reading Thai Peanut Chicken Flatbread
French Onion Pork Chops
Can we talk about how difficult it is to caramelize onions? Seriously. It's insane. Ain't nobody got time to babysit a pan full of low-cooking, thin strips of onions for an hour. How come nobody has thought of an easier way? Sure, you can cheat by adding a little bit of sugar, but it's still… Continue reading French Onion Pork Chops
Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
In all my years on this planet, I've only made my own pesto once. Once! I've always just settled for the jarred stuff at the grocery store, not realizing how easy, and probably better for you, it would be to just make it myself. No preservatives, no weird ingredients you can't pronounce, and a good… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
Korean Turkey Bowls
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm slightly obsessed with "bowl" meals. They just makes sense to me. If you're trying to eat better, eat healthier---the easiest thing is to throw a meal together in a bowl and chow down. I'm constantly experimenting with my bowl-making skills. Banh mi bowls, anyone? Shrimp bowls with ranch… Continue reading Korean Turkey Bowls
Spinach & Pepper Breakfast Sandwiches
My breakfast routine has stayed the same for about a year and a half now. I eat a sandwich with egg, Canadian bacon, and cheese that I make in a little breakfast sandwich maker. For a year and a half, that's the first thing I ate to kick start my day. I finally got burned… Continue reading Spinach & Pepper Breakfast Sandwiches
Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
I've been on this kick lately of eating comfort foods. Filling casseroles, meat and potatoes, and barbecue. Maybe it's because I know those meals won't be appetizing once summer rolls around, or maybe it's just a random craving I've been experiencing. Who knows. I've really started to enjoy shepherd's pie for dinner, though. I made… Continue reading Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
