Hey there, dear friends! I can’t believe how long it has been since I last posted – life happens, right?! It has been a crazy year. New job, kids in school, trying to balance a healthy lifestyle, being a wife and mama, a coach and working full time is NOT easy. BUT, it is doable! It just takes …
Egg Roll in a Bowl
Basili (my husband) LOVES Chinese take out – so do I, but after I eat it, I regret it. Besides getting puffy from all of the sodium, my tummy hurts from the MSG and processed ingredients. Tell me I am not the only one?! 🙂 SO, I make my own! Egg roll in a bowl – how fun is that!?! …
Cauliflower Cheesy Bread
I was tempted to NOT tell my husband what these ‘bread sticks’ were made from until AFTER he tried it, but he caught me cutting up cauliflower and kind of looked at me with a side eye and walked away. I told him to trust me and that if it was terrible, we wouldn’t speak of this again. WELL, let …
Skinny Roasted Veggie and Ground Beef Lasagna
WHOA. Did you say veggies? Because I am pretty sure my kids just ate the whole thing. I will consider this dish a ‘mom win’. Basili found a recipe on The Food Network’s website that sounded really tasty so I decided to put my spin on it, making sure it would be Hammer & Chisel friendly! It turned out great! …
Healthy White Chicken Chili
It is a snowy day here and the boys and I got inside right before B got home – I was ready for a hot meal! Whenever I think of White Chicken Chili, it reminds me of when I was growing up and we would come in from skiing for lunch at our favorite restaurant at the base of …
Fixed Up Tomato Artichoke Soup

Herb Roasted Red Potatoes
A good side dish that compliments a meal nicely is always a treat! I serve these potatoes along side beef, typically. I started making these at Christmas for our family dinner, hosted at our house. They are simple and satisfying and go perfectly with my Red Wine Pot Roast! The morning of, I will throw the potatoes in a large …
Herb Marinated Pork Loin Chop
This Herb Marinated Pork Loin Chop is not only DELICIOUS, but it is also 21 Day Fix approved! Let me tell you – this recipe was FULL of flavor and is now a new favorite – I made it twice!! The fresh herbs really help to give the meat a great punch of flavor! After assembling the meat with the …
Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet
This Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet was AH-MAZING! You heard me! No burger patty molding for me tonight – just throw everything into the skillet and simmer for a bit. Serve open-faced over a bed of lettuce or in a pita pocket. I had already used my yellows for the day, and having this over lettuce was delicious, crisp and fresh! I …
Ground Beef Taco Skillet
This Ground Beef Taco Skillet is being added into the permanent rotation. WHY? My husband WONT.STOP.TALKING. about it! 🙂 After dinner, he came up behind me while I was doing the dishes and gave me a huge hug and kiss on the cheek and thanked me for making such a delicious meal. I mean, talk about putting a huge smile …
