Roasted cauliflower is one of my absolute favorite winter time vegetables! I am definitely the person who needs to make an extra batch for my family because I end up snacking on it as soon as it comes out of the oven and tend to eat half of the pan myself before I have even served dinner. But beyond roasting, cauliflower is so versatile and I love incorporating it into any meals where I can! It’s truly a vegetable that is a jack of all trades if you will. From roasting, to pureeing, to everything in between, cauliflower is the veggie for the job! I love a good bowl situation during the week where I can add veggies, a grain, and maybe a fried egg and dinner is done, and cauliflower is the perfect veggie to add to any bowl mix up. My roasted cauliflower and spinach grain bowls are seriously one of my new favorite dinners and you are going to love them too!
Buffalo chicken is one of those dishes that I get a craving for on a regular basis. I love traditional buffalo wings, but I also love making my roasted buffalo cauliflower and more to satisfy the craving when the craving hits that are a bit lighter. With the Super Bowl coming up, I love the idea of making healthier options to serve to my guests in addition to some more traditional game day foods! Lettuce wraps are one of those things that you can literally put anything inside of to make a lighter option of one of your favorites. Most people think of Asian lettuce wraps only, but truly the options are endless. My easy buffalo chicken lettuce wraps are so satisfying, they make such a great appetizer for game day, and they truly couldn’t be any easier to whip up any day of the week!
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!

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.
