Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie

Cooks in 40 Minutes Difficulty Easy

I found this recipe from another blog and fell in love immediately! I tweaked it a bit, mostly added more garlic (of course!), and it has become a staple in my kitchen. It is very filling and a great cold-weather dish. Just like most of my recipes, you can change […]

Bruschetta Chicken

Cooks in 30 Minutes Difficulty Easy

This recipe is so easy and so fresh! If you like bruschetta crostini, you will love it on chicken! I served these with a side of lemon basil potatoes which can be found here! Fresh basil really makes a difference here, but you could always use dried if you don’t […]

Apple Turkey Burgers with Caramelized Onions

Cooks in 35 Minutes Difficulty Easy

These are so tasty and are SO easy! They are a nice, lighter alternative to regular beef burgers, but still have so much flavor and will fulfill that craving for a nice juicy burger. I first started making these in the fall because I had an abundance of apples, but […]

Turkey Spinach Meatballs with Zoodles

Cooks in 40 Minutes Difficulty Easy

This is another really easy weeknight meal that you can adjust based on what you like! Feel free to swap out the mozzarella for feta, or use real spaghetti instead of zoodles. Tips: 4 zucchinis sound like a lot, but they cook down quite a bit! When I make this […]

Homemade Marinara Sauce & Meatballs

Cooks in 2-3 Hours Difficulty Easy

This recipe is near and dear to my heart! It is my Yaya’s recipe and every time I make it, it brings me right back to my childhood when she would make this for spaghetti night on Fridays. Not to get too sappy, but I have an intense emotional connection […]
