If you have spent any time rummaging around my blog, you know that I am a little obsessed with easy weeknight meals that can be made all in one pan. One pan = less dishes = more time to do other things. And thanks to the nature of cooking the dry pasta all in the…

Gluten Free Oven Baked Chicken Tenders
When you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance or sensitivity, something as simple as a chicken tender can be a food that is sorely missed. These chicken tenders are just as crispy and juicy as any other, but they are gluten free and healthier than the deep fried version (not that there’s anything wrong…
Quick and Healthyish One Pan Parmesan Chicken
Let’s be honest, chicken breasts can get a little, well, boring, but it doesn’t have to be that way! We eat plenty of chicken breast around here. It’s a fabulous, healthy, and economic lean protein, so I am always testing new and different ways to spice things up. This dish has become a fan favorite…
Biscuits and Gravy (Vegan and Gluten Free)
Do you like to shop in person at the grocery or are you more of a delivery or pickup person? I personally love to go grocery shopping, but the time that delivery or pickup saves me is too monumental to pass up! I am mostly a delivery person, although at times, it comes with its…
How to Build the Perfect Simple Charcuterie Board

In fact, it’s such a firm tradition that I refused to stop dipping little clementine orange slices in chocolate for our 2013 board as I was in active labor for our second child. In my defense, I wasn’t…

Growing up, we always ate our chili with peanut butter sandwiches and saltine crackers on the side. I can still see the halves of peanut butter sandwiches on white bread cut into triangles piled up high in the middle of the table. I would always end up eating one plain and dipping one in my…
Instant Pot Cheesy Chipotle Chicken and Rice
Let me just start out by saying: 6 MINUTES in the instant pot. 6. MIN.UTES. You will not believe how it tastes like you spent hours making this. The chicken is tender, the flavors are melded together in cheesy bliss, and the rice is perfectly al dente. Although “chipotle” is in the name, it is…
Instant Pot Chicken Jalapeno Popper Tacos
This dish was inspired by a jalapeno popper dip my husband and I were craving one night. I normally make this dip for special occasions in the fall and winter for football games or bonfires (although I’m pretty sure my husband would let me make it every day). The original recipe for the dip is…
Healthy-ish General Tsos Chicken
When my husband and I were dating, just about every Sunday after church, I would go with him and his family to this one Chinese buffet in town. This was, of course, before my husband and several immediate family members were diagnosed with celiac disease (even if the dish is gluten free, the cross contamination…
