Strawberry Lime Mocktail

Strawberry Lime Mocktail

This drink was a life saver when I was pregnant during quarantine. Throw everything in a blender, pour over ice, and top with sparkling water (I prefer Topo Chico). Easy Peasy! I have yet to try it with booze but if you would like to experiment with some then be […]

Chili Verde Ground Beef

Chili Verde Ground Beef

The key to this dish is the chili verde sauce. In my opinion not all chili verde’s are created equal so when cooking this meal make sure you are using a chili verde sauce or salsa that you love. We typically use some of the frozen sauce we have leftover […]

Shrimp Caesar Salad

Lemon Garlic Shrimp Caesar

For some reason caesar salads have been a major craving of mine during this pregnancy and this salad does not disappoint. We like to make our own dressings (I’m super picky and don’t like most store bought brands) so we’ve included instructions on how to make our caesar but feel […]

Quinoa Chicken Bowl

Quinoa Chicken Bowls

We created this 30 minute recipe in an effort to get more protein in our diets (well, mostly mine since I need so much more during pregnancy). Quinoa, in my opinion, can be a little blah so we jazzed it up a bit by cooking it with onion, garlic, and […]

You all should trust Gabe when he says that this is the BEST old fashioned recipe. He has spent years doing “research” in bars and restaurants around the world and countless hours at home trying to perfect this recipe. His secret ingredient is a simple syrup made of Demerara sugar […]

Spring Vegetable Couscous

Spring Vegetable Couscous

This veggie based dish is great on it’s own if you want a meatless meal or as a side dish to a light fish or chicken entree. We prefer the bigger Israeli Pearl couscous but if you can’t find it then Mediterranean couscous will work as well. Mediterranean couscous has […]

Citrus Margarita

Citrus Margaritas

These are not your typical margaritas. There are no mixers or no added sugars. The sweetness comes from the juice of the oranges and the flavored water you add at the end. You will want to use a citrus squeezer for this as it makes it so much easier but […]

Al Pastor Burrito Bowls

Have you ever had a conversation that went like this: Person 1: What do you want for dinner? Person 2: I don’t care what do you want? Person 1: I don’t care either so you decide Person 2: I mean I could have anything so it’s up to you And […]

Chicken and Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad

Chicken and Brussel Sprout Salad

This is one of the easiest salads to pull together and a great way to get your veggies in. You can certainly buy a pound or so of brussel sprouts, wash them, trim the ends, and then shred or thinly slice them into ribbons for the salad. Or, you can […]
