Chicken Pot Pie

As usual, I had chicken in the fridge and didn’t know what I would do with it. For once, I wanted something that would make leftovers. So chicken pot pie popped into my head. But I didn’t have any pie crusts. Ugh. However, I had […]

LIGHT + QUICK CHICKEN & BROCCOLI TERIYAKI

Chicken & broccoli is not only a staple in millions of households across the country, it’s also a staple in my heart. As in, if one day I woke up and found out that chicken & broccoli was no longer “a thing”, well, I’d go […]

Maple Twisty Donuts

Need a crazy good holiday breakfast recipe? If you miss Krispy Kreme, you might find these kind of the same only different. The dough is not as light, and they are baked, not fried,  but they are so very similar to that Krispy Kreme flavor […]

Double Chocolate Brownies

My rich and fudgy grain free brownies are 100% flour free – meaning you won’t find anything like almond flour or coconut flour in this recipe! So what other ingredients can you make grain free brownies out of, you ask? NOT BLACK BEANS, you guys! Not that […]
