This cashew basil chicken is one of my all time favorites! Although, I feel like I say that a lot. It is inspired by a Chinese takeout dish that we love. When Clay was born we didn’t have the brain capacity or energy to cook so we did a lot […]
Week Night Meals
Steak Salad with Orange Vinaigrette
Steak salad with berries is a delicious and easy weeknight meal . The perfectly ripe berries are candy sweet, the meat is savory and juicy, and the orange vinaigrette provides just the right amount of tartness to the plate. We love this meal all year round but during the Spring […]
Chicken Pot Pie Fries
Chicken pot pie fries is our take on the comfort food classic. We take the delicious gravy and smother it over crispy baked french fries. By using a ready cooked rotisserie chicken and a bag of frozen french fries, you can have this scrumptious meal on the table in under […]
Poblano Chicken Soup
Poblano chicken soup is our go to whenever we are feeling sick or run down. It is nutrient dense which means it’s full of all the good stuff. Since we eat this when we need some healing we like to use chicken bone broth but you can use chicken stock […]
Pomegranate Balsamic Chicken
If there was one weeknight dish that gets us in the Christmas mood it is this pomegranate balsamic chicken. We love this dish because of how simple it is to cook. It comes together easily in under 30 minutes, it is packed full of antioxidants and nutrients, and (most importantly) […]
Creamy Mustard Chicken

Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken
Since having a baby we have learned the importance of a quick and easy meal. We used to think we made quick weeknight recipes until we found ourselves with an infant who only took 30 minute catnaps for the first 6 months of his life. We had half an hour […]
Roasted Carrots
These roasted carrots are an easy side dish that you can throw in the oven while the rest of your meal cooks up. They go great with pretty much any meat or seafood entree. You could also throw them into a quinoa bowl and top with green goddess dressing if […]
Burgundy Tri Tip
We love a good a tri tip and it always surprises us when we come across someone who is not familiar with this cut of meat. It is a triangular cut that comes from the bottom sirloin of the cow. It is full of flavor and super tender. In San […]
Baja Shrimp Tacos with Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
The seasoning is the star of the show for these Baja Shrimp Tacos but the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce is a close second. They come together in under 20 minutes and are perfect for a weeknight meal. I was in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy during the onslaught of COVID and […]
