January always seems to be the month that goes on forever and ever. The weather is always a bit (or a lot) chilly depending on where you live, calling for lots of cozy food. In addition to soup, potatoes are the next best thing to stick to your bones if you ask me! I love using sweet potatoes as much as I can because they are more nutrient dense than a regular russet potato. Sweet potatoes are so versatile and while they are delicious on their own just with a little honey and butter, I love to add savory flavors as well. Stuffing sweet potatoes is a great way to add a variety of flavors and you can create an entire meal with them that the whole family will love. My miso butter sweet potatoes with roasted chickpeas will quickly become a weeknight favorite and the best part is, they are loaded with flavor and nutrition!

True story, I’ve never met a meatball that I didn’t like. I love them in pastas, on sandwiches, and even in soup! Today I’m sharing a delicious and healthy soup recipe for you to try out that I know will quickly become one of your favorites. Because let’s be honest, in the midst of all of the holiday cookie baking, we still need to get dinner on the table, and even better if it can be on the healthier side. That’s why I partnered with al fresco Chicken to bring you, not only a delicious and nourishing soup recipe for the whole family, but thanks to al fresco’s Italian Chicken Meatballs, it’s super easy to whip up any night of the week too. My lemon chicken meatball and orzo soup is just the kind of simple and delicious dinner you will be craving all season long.

My love language is definitely in the form of pasta. Just give me all of the pasta, red sauce based pastas in particular, and I’ll love you forever. True story, just ask my hubby. My dream is go visit Italy and cook alongside an Italian grandma, and let her teach me her ways. I would be the happiest camper and my life would be complete. Wouldn’t that be amazing? One day…but anyway, speaking of pasta and Italian dishes, lasagna is one of those dishes that for some reason I only make for special occasions. I am not sure why, because it really isn’t that hard and it freezes beautifully too which makes it perfect for meal prepping. I came up with the recipe a few years ago when I got a hankering for lasagna and the result was out of this world. It's layered with flavor and I even lightened it up just slightly so you can feel a little better about lasagna night at your house any weekday! My spinach and beef lasagna is sure to delight the bellies of all your family and friends and it will soon become one of your favorite pasta recipes to make guaranteed.
Fall is here and it’s time to break out those slow cookers y’all! I honestly always forget how much I love my slow cooker until I use it and realize just how easy it makes weeknight dinners. I know Instant Pots are all the rage, but I just can’t stop using my slow cooker. There is something about the smell of cozy food cooking all day long and filling the house with delicious smells that just makes me so happy. One of the recipes I make the most in my slow cookers is a classic pot roast. This is a meal that my mom made me growing up and it happens to be one of my husband’s favorite fall meals! My Easy Slow Cooker Pork Roast is full of flavor, easy to make, and you can make multiple meals out of it for the whole week.
It’s officially October, which means it’s time to make ALL the pumpkin things! I love this time of year so much, and while I’m over here waiting on our first cool front to swing through, I’m pretending it feels like fall with all the cozy recipes. This week we celebrated P’s 4th birthday, decorated the porch with pumpkins and mums, and now I’m officially ready to get cooking in the kitchen with all of my favorite fall recipes. I rounded up a few of my favorite pumpkin recipes and included both savory and sweet options that you are going to love! My top ten pumpkin recipes are definitely going to want to be happening in your kitchen this season.
I love Vietnamese food. Lately I can’t stop making dishes with an Asian flare and meatballs happen to be the perfect vessel to infuse with those delicious flavors! One of our favorite Vietnamese dishes is a Bahn Mi Sandwich. It can be made with several different proteins, but I happen to love a pork Bahn Mi the best, especially when topped with quick pickled veggies, spicy jalapeño, and cilantro! It’s a sandwich loaded with flavor and my family can’t get enough of it! I have even made Bahn Mi Tacos in my slow cooker that are so perfect for any weeknight dinner! My new favorite twist on the traditional sandwich, is my Bahn Mi Meatball Sandwich that is perfect for meal prepping and dinners that the whole family will love!
