Zucchini noodles, aka zoodles, are actually super satisfying. You’d think they wouldn’t be, but if you use the right blade setting on your mandolin, they can be twirled around your fork, just like spaghetti. And as any girl knows, the twirl is half the fun. I have made zucchini noodles before, but it was time…

Sometimes you need a good soup and grilled cheese night. That was me on Wednesday. It more than cancelled out the workout I had done that evening, but it was worth it because this grilled cheese was bangin. Start with some sourdough bread. Because I really like sourdough. For the cheese, use freshly grated buffalo…

I love that you can buy enchilada sauce at the grocery store. It means I’m actually willing to tackle the dish on a weeknight. This meal mean I was back on track with Taco Tuesday. Yes, in my world enchiladas count for Taco Tuesday. Start by browning 1 lb of ground beef in a skillet…
Read MoreThis one’s for all my gluten free vegetarian friends out there. Or just people who like delicious things. I recently bought some interesting looking pasta made from black beans at Trader Joe’s. The problem was, I decided I wanted to incorporate it into my supper very last minute and didn’t really have any ingredients to make…
Read MoreAnd now I present to you one of the easiest salads ever. Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas. Gently toss with store-bought pesto, crumbled feta, julienned radishes, and quinoa. I bought the pesto with quinoa from Trader Joe’s, which means I took the extra easy way out; however, you can very easily cook up…
