Here is our version of a quick and easy wedding soup you can throw together in under 3 minutes. By substituting the veal meatballs for cut up sausages, you save time without skimping  on flavor  Using the riced cauliflower instead of  acini de pepe  saves you calories and carbs,  a win win. So when  you are in the mood for a  nice hot soup, on a cold winter night, this high protein soup will hit the spot.

Sometimes I come up with a recipe for a Whats in the Fridge Wednesday, or a Fun Tip Friday and it is so good, that I turn it into a Min Din. That is the case with this Lentil Soup Recipe.  It is quick, easy, low cal,delicious, and so cost friendly.  When you need to warm your tummy, on a cold winter night, this hearty soup is your go to recipe. ( I felt it needed some salt and pepper to taste so add to your bowl to your liking.)

Have you ever wanted to make a recipe, but getting it to taste just right was always a problem?  I find when recipes have too many ingredients, this can be an issue. If you love Pad Thai, but was never brave enough to try it at home, this is the recipe for you.  Not only is it super easy, it is super delicious, and a lower carb option for those of you that watch your intake.  By swapping out the traditional Pad Thai noodles for the butternut squash zoodles, you save the carbs, but don’t compromise on the taste.  So go ahead and try this with your favorite protein option, or use ours which is chicken.  All of the info on nutrition is based on serving this beauty up with chicken.

Now you can have Taco Tuesday any day of the week with this quick and easy version I created.  Remember our recipes are home made because you make them at home with love.  They are not made from scratch with so many ingredients that  not only cost a lot but are hard to remember.  We are here to give you our true and tested recipes that will leave you coming back for more, and wondering why you haven’t been cooking like this all along!! Life is busy and complicated as it is, your cooking doesn’t need to be, so enjoy and when you try a recipe send us a picture and we will add you to our testimonial page.

If you took a poll on favorite foods, pizza would probably be in the top three category!  It is one of those foods that you just can’t get enough of.  Everyone has their personal favorite, mine  is green olives and mushroom with tons of cheese . While doing my daily Trader Joe’s run, I came across a butternut squash crust, and Well the next is history  I hope you enjoy this little treasure of a dish.  Pizza is as creative as you are, the possibilities are endless!

Thanksgiving, happens to be many peoples favorite holiday.  We wait all year for that delicious meal,that takes hours to cook, minutes to eat, and lasts a lifetime on our hips.  Now you can have your favorite comfort foods, all in one skillet, in under 10 minutes, anytime of the year, for a fraction of the cost and calories.  We think you will be thankful for this one.

Who loves street meat raise their hand???? I bet all of you raised your hands! There is something so magical about the fresh taste of gyros you can get from a street vendor, now you can get the same wonderful taste in the comfort of your own home.  Our version is pretty healthy too, since you know exactly what is going into it.  The carb count on this one is a bit higher because of the naan bread, but the garlic naan is sooooo good it is worth every carb! If you want to omit the carbs try a whole leaf of romaine lettuce with onion, the turkey and the ranch dressing, and make a lettuce wrap.  Can’t wait for you to try this one.  I promise it will be a hit.

This soup could be one of my best recipes yet!  I know I say that every week, but this one really is special.  When I create a recipe, I think of things that would go well together.  When  I tested this one,  it was better than I could have possibly imagined. It was so good that I made it three days straight. It uses two cups of the pulled turkey from the crockpot recipe, leaving you with still enough turkey left for our final recipe pulled turkey recipe that the will bring you next Monday!!

You know that addicting buffalo chicken recipe that is ever so popular at pot lucks? Well that is the recipe that inspired me to create this amazing recipe.  I wanted to end Crocktober with a Turkey dish, that would give you enough turkey meat to make a few days worth of meals.  By using two packages of Turkey Tenderloins you will get enough pulled turkey for our next two part series on pulled turkey!  I added some frozen cauliflower gnocchi when I prepared this.  You can mix it up by adding sweet potatoes , squash, green beams. really anything that you like will taste delicious in this sauce.  The zhoug gives it just enough spice, that will carry over nicely into our other upcoming recipes.   Turkey meat will last about 5 days in the fridge, so you may want to wait on this one till we post the next two recipes.
