This was a quick, healthy, and delicious dinner! It all cooked in one pot, and even my kids ate it. You could play around with it quite a bit. I added some diced onions, some fresh minced garlic, and a cup of leftover ground turkey taco meat to mine, and it was excellent. I had… Continue reading Zucchini, Black Bean, and Rice Skillet
Confession: Before tonight, I had never eaten or made Chicken ‘n Dumplings. Not only that, but I wasn’t even sure EXACTLY what it was. I’m from Seattle. We don’t see many chicken ‘n dumplings in these parts. I guess it’s more of a Southern or Midwestern dish. I have pinned a recipe here and there… Continue reading Chicken ‘n Dumplings

This… Continue reading Better Than Take Out Chicken Fried Rice
Wendy’s Style Chili I love the chili and Wendy’s. It’s one of the lower-calorie filling items on their menu, and on lazy days when I take my kids to the park and let them have fast food for lunch, I will pick up a bowl of the chili for myself. So, when I saw this… Continue reading Wendy’s Style Chili
