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!?! …
Mexican Chicken Stir Fry Skillet
I was so very pleasantly surprised with this dish – talk about the flavor of freshness! I always LOVE a dinner that uses zero of my yellow containers – since I only get 2 each day! (For those of you not following the container system, the yellow containers are starchy foods like bread, potatoes and rice!) This Mexican Chicken Stir …
Fixed Up Beef Barley Stew
When I think of Beef Stew, I think of a warm, cozy house full of the wonderful smells of a simmering stew full of hearty ingredients – a fire in the fireplace and snow falling outside. I also think of Basili’s Uncle Jim who makes a mean Beef Stew! Basili has asked me several times over the years to make …
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 …
Ground Beef Spaghetti Squash Skillet
All I have to say is YUM. My good friend Brittny of BrittKFitness shared this recipe with me and I have been excited to try it! I cooked this up last night with my usual spin on it because I can never just follow a recipe (haha) and when Basili walked in, he commented about how good the house smelled …

One skillet meals are my favorite and this one is being added to ‘the list’ at our house. 🙂 It is something a little different, the spices/seasonings are different than my normal go-to, but we liked it a lot! It was EASY to make, clean and 21 Day Fix Approved, of course! My Healthy Ranch Skillet did not disappoint in …
Tuscan Chicken Artichoke Skillet

10 Family Approved 21 Day Fix Extreme Recipes
When I first told my husband I was going to be changing up our meals and how I cook so I can follow the 21 Day Fix Extreme plan, he rolled his eyes and made a snarky remark about getting to eat cardboard for dinner. Anyone else have a similar reaction? Well, honey, challenge accepted! He was pleasantly surprised …
21 Day Fix Chicken Marsala
My 21 Day Fix Chicken Marsala is absolutely delicious and I cannot wait to make it again! The next time I make it, I will be adding more mushrooms, for sure! They were so good! I will also be looking for a Marsala Cooking wine that is a little lower in sodium – it could be worse and this is …
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 …
