Every so often, you just need a simple meal that feels super gourmet. This dinner was actually my husband’s and my last date night dinner. After I made it for him, he made a status on social media saying it was so good I broke his taste buds. I think he’s still looking for a…
This Sweet Herbed Chicken and Green Beans are filling, easy to make and FULL of flavor. You won’t feel deprived after having this meal! I’m all about easy these days, so this is a one pan meal. It’s really simple to throw together, just sprinkle some herbs on top, add some green beans to the…
Asian Chicken Salad + Spicy Sweet Peanut Dressing = Love! Especially when paired with a spicy peanut dressing. My Asian Chicken Salad is simple to prep, yet tastes gourmet. You’ll get a great dose of veggies in because this salad has greens AND cabbage. I wanted to create a salad that has a slight crunch…
I’m in the process of converting my favorite rice dishes to the healthy side and I am having SO much fun doing it! 🙂 I am seriously obsessed with cauliflower rice lately because it allows me to have all my favorite creamy ingredients without heading into crossover mode. I haven’t noticed a difference in texture and…
Growing up, my Mom would make us Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole twice a month at least! I associate this meal with comfort food and a feeling of home.

My Crispy Sweet Heat Chicken Legs are such a fun, simple meal. Drumsticks are so cheap these days (I got 5 lbs for under $4!) that this is totally budget-friendly. This recipe is crispy, sweet and has a little kick. The crispiness comes from unsweetened coconut flakes, which was something I’d never done before, but…
As much as I love zoodles, I find myself craving real, takeout style sesame noodles on a regular basis. Honestly, who wouldn’t? A good sesame noodle, in my opinion, is flavorful, slightly sweet and a little sticky. I’m so excited to share my perfected sesame noodle recipe with you! These noodles are awesome under a…
I like Taco Bell quesadillas. A lot. My scale and waistline do not like Taco Bell. Not one bit. So, I re-created one of my favorite menu items, the Quesadilla to be Trim Healthy Mama friendly. This is an extremely simple recipe. I’m posting the single serve option, so you can whip it up…
