This rice mix is gluten free (unlike the store-bought version) and it’s a great recipe to mix up in bulk for meal prep or gifting! Jambalaya is one of my husbands all-time favorite dishes, and when I saw that the store mix had gluten in it, I knew I wanted to make a mix of […]

Crazy Easy Chicken Taco Meat
This chicken taco meat recipe doesn’t include a filler-full flavor packet, but it’s just as easy and tastes a whole lot better! A friend of mine brought a variation of this chicken meat (and the fixins’) to me right after I was diagnosed with Graves. It was SO juicy and flavorful that I asked her […]

This pasta dish is a classic and reminds me of all that is good in life. I’m assured that once you try it, it will make your regular rotation. Bon appetite! A friend of mine was serving a pasta bar when I tried a variation of this recipe. I tried her Alfredo sauce on some […]
Slow Cooker Lemon Thyme Chicken Dinner
If timed correctly, cooking a chicken in the crock pot is a great way to achieve a juicy bird and side dishes all in one go! Whenever I’m creating recipes, I always look for ways to incorporate more flavor and texture. In this case, I use a lemony-thyme compound butter over and under the chicken skin […]
