Let’s just call January a wash shall we? It was a transition month where we all found ourselves easing into a new year and maybe we hit our new years goals, orrrr maybe we didn’t or haven’t yet. In my case, I didn’t and honestly didn’t even try to start, so I am starting fresh in February! I am not a huge fan of new years resolutions, but I do love a good reset when I find I need it and I’m at that point where I need to go a couple of weeks of eating super clean. I created this 7-Day Meal Healthy Meal Plan to help us all get a little inspired to eat a little more mindful without sacrificing any flavor!

Weeknight dinners may seem daunting, but they sure don’t have to be. I partnered with my friends at AdapTable Meals to give you a new weeknight dinner idea that is sure to become a household favorite! I used AdapTable Meals’ pork carnitas and created a healthy and delicious dinner idea complete with a side dish of skillet elote (Mexican street corn) that makes for an effortless meal that the whole family will love. Carnitas stuffed sweet potatoes with skillet elote is perfect for any night of the week.
Pot pie is one of those classic dishes that take me back to my childhood. Back then it was usually a frozen pot pie and while there is nothing wrong with a little help from the freezer section, making one homemade is actually quite easy! I still take a little help from a store bought pie crust, because not everyone has time to make scratch pie dough, but the filling is homemade and full of goodness. This recipe is so tasty and with Thanksgiving upon us, pot pie is a great way to use up those turkey leftovers! This recipe for easy turkey pot pie is going to be a new cozy dinner staple throughout the holiday season and beyond.

Halloween is right around the corner and we personally have a family tradition of always cooking up something extra cozy and hearty to celebrate. Pasta is a go-to since it pairs so well with my favorite red wines to make the ultimate Halloween dinner. That’s why I partnered with Flora Springs, a winery in Napa Valley that has their very own collection of wines just for Halloween! They are considered a ‘Ghost Winery’ which is a term used to describe a winery that was built between 1860 and 1900 and fell into disrepair in the early 20th century due to the triple threat of the vine disease phylloxera, the Great Depression, and Prohibition. Flora Springs has delicious Halloween wine varieties including a 2018 Ghost Winery Malbec, Drink in Peace Merlot, and 2018 All Hallows’ Eve Cabernet Franc that all pair perfectly with this delicious Pumpkin Cacio e Pepe pasta dish that would be so great to serve up on Halloween this year!
Pizza night is a regular occurrence in this house and I love switching up flavors to based on what I have in the refrigerator and what is currently in season. Fall is the time when all squash varieties become abundant and I find myself with multiple varieties on hand at all times trying to decide how I will cook them up. Personally I love them just roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper, but from time to time I like to switch things up. Using roasted squash varieties on salads, in pastas, to make sauces etc is a fabulous way to “fall-ify” any dish! This recipe for roasted delicata squash with prosciutto, and goat cheese pizza is quickly going to become your new favorite Friday night pizza tradition.
Soup season has arrived for most of us and I say bring it on. There is nothing better than a cozy bowl of soup on a chilly day that just feels like the ultimate food hug. It’s hard to pick a favorite soup for me, because I have so many that I love, but a classic vegetable soup is always high on the list in my opinion. Vegetable soup can sometimes be bland and lack luster in flavor, but I am here to tell you that this recipe for the best vegetable soup is going to change your mind about how tasty a bowl of vegetables in a delicious broth can truly be. I amped up the flavor in this recipe to make it the ultimate vegetable soup that you will crave all season long.
