Au Gratin

Tyler bookmarked this recipe in this month’s Cooking Light and I was skeptical, but it won me over!  I don’t usually eat sweet potatoes or squash because they are so….sweet.  However, drench them in swiss cheese and I’m a big fan!  This recipe took some time to pull together, but it was worth [...]

Spicy Thai

Tyler picked this recipe out of the latest Cooking Light.  If you haven’t checked out CL recently you should.  Last month they launched their new design, with a photo of EVERY recipe.  It is fantastic.  Many more recipes than before, and less of the travel/exercise/beauty filler they were using so much of before.  This noodle [...]

5 Ingredient Cooking

This chicken was delicious, and quick and easy to boot.  Pitting the olives took the most time, so I recommend you buy olives that are already pitted to make meal prep even easier!  Also, don’t forget to add the feta cheese like we did!

Hearty Lasagna

I don’t think I cooked a single meal last week, I was in another cooking slump. Tyler thankfully stepped in to make dinner last night (don’t ask me what we ate Monday-Friday last week, it’s honestly a blur of cereal and take out). I had been in search of a healthier lasagna recipe [...]
