• Bison Chili

    May 8, 2023

    Looking for a delicious meat-based chili? This bison chili is packed with flavor and some subtle heat for a truly tasty dinner. Eat it as is or pair it with spaghetti noodles and you’ll have dinner everyone will be raving about. Except for maybe your kids, because let’s be honest. Their palettes aren’t exactly … varied. So maybe just make them the spaghetti noodles and savor the chili for yourself. I know, I know. A meat-based chili recipe after I just got done professing my love for bean-based chilis. But hear me out. It’s really delicious and it’s made with…

  • Homemade Protein Bars

    March 23, 2023

    These homemade protein bars are as easy as they are delicious. They are super easy to make (and customize) and feel like a decadent treat. They also happen to be dairy-free, gluten free, soy free, coconut free, and contain ZERO stevia. Huzzah! I am always on the hunt for good protein bars when I need a quick something to eat while I am running the girls back and forth between literally everything. Unfortunately, I have a hard time finding any I can enjoy because I am sensitive to dairy, coconut, AND stevia. I did manage to find a few brands…

  • Buffalo Turkey (or Chicken) Meatballs

    December 20, 2022

    These buffalo turkey meatballs are seriously heaven in meatball form. They are easy to make and insanely flavorful. They also happen to be low-carb and gluten free, so bonus points for that! I’m pretty much a sucker for any and all things buffalo sauce. My all-time favorite sandwich is buffalo chicken. My all time favorite wrap is a buffalo chicken wrap (that I’m officially still obsessed with). And my all-time favorite vegetarian dish is the buffalo falafel from Bad Manners. I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve made that one over the years… Everyone in the House of Lev…

  • Instant Pot Whole Roasted Chicken

    November 23, 2022

    Enjoy a whole roasted chicken in under an hour with this Instant pot recipe. Nothing beats how flavorful, tender, and juicy it is, except maybe how little time it actually takes to make it. I’m a late adapter when it comes to kitchen appliances. Mainly because I feel like everything I cook can be made in the oven or on the stove. But also because I’m afraid of wasting money on something I’ll never use. Which is why it took me years to purchase an Instant Pot*. I still haven’t quite figured out everything it can do, but what I’ve…

  • Sheet Pan Eggs And Brussels Sprouts

    November 21, 2022

    An easy meal for breakfast or dinner, this recipe for sheet pan eggs and brussels sprouts is an absolute treat. It comes together in about 20 minutes and will have everyone at the table saying MORE PLEASE! I’ve had the Brussels Sprouts and Egg Skillet from Naturally Ella saved on one of my Pinterest boards for ages (probably since 2012 when the recipe first came out), but never had the courage to make it. Brussels sprouts have never been a favorite of mine and it’s taken a lot of years to get to the point where I can eat them once a…

  • Chicken and Leek Burgers

    November 11, 2022

    Made from a grand total of 5 ingredients, these chicken and leek burgers are flavorful AND easy to make. Two things that make me a very very happy person. And make it incredibly easy to get a delicious meal on the table pronto. I love a meal that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So whenever I stumble upon an idea that allows me to do that, I latch onto it with immense speed. It also helps to make the nights when the kidlets refuse to eat what I make for dinner a little more tenable. That’s where…

    This basic recipe for Instant Pot shredded chicken is as easy as it is delicious. Enjoy it plain or use it as the base for something else, this is sure to be a staple in your fridge and meal prep repertoire.  One of my favorite things to make in the Instant Pot* is shredded chicken. Actually, it’s any kind of chicken because I can throw it into the Instant Pot without having to defrost it first and it comes out perfect every single time.  I also love the chicken broth that’s leftover from each batch of chicken I make in the Instant…
