We love spaghetti squash here at home. This week I needed something simple that I could throw together without a lot of fuss. I saw a recipe for spaghetti squash toss and instead of just adding a few things to the recipe, I decided to change it up. Spaghetti squash is as versatile as pasta, [...]

Slow Cooker Moroccan Pork & Olive Tagine
We love tagine recipes over at our house. A tagine is an earthenware pot with a triangular lid. Most of us do not have one of these laying around, but you can make tagine recipes with what you have at home. What's awesome about these recipes is they are fairly healthy. They contain vegetables and [...]
Buffalo Chicken and Rice – Low Sodium #FTW
Raise your hand if you love buffalo chicken wings. I'm right along with you. The spicy, tangy sauce is SO good. However, if you look at how much sodium is in these recipes, it'll make your blood pressure go up just thinking about them. Then I ran across a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens [...]
Chicken Taco Salad
Since I am at home this week, I like to do recipes that I don't have to freeze. This week one of the recipes that I thought of and I haven't done in a while is Chicken Taco Salad from Chow.com. It's a fairly healthy recipe, but it needed some work because the last time [...]
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Gumbo
I was watching America's Test Kitchen and their gumbo recipe. It is as authentic as it gets. However, it uses high sodium ingredients and a roux, which is not gluten-free. I am also really busy this weekend and I need the slow cooker to do the work for me. I decided to develop my own [...]
Garam Masala Chili
So I was going through some recipes to find something easy. It's a busy weekend and I don't have time for something elaborate. I came across this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens for Indian Masala Chili. I love Indian food and we love chili. Problem was, I need to use what I had on [...]
Chicken Paprikash
This is an oldie but a goodie recipe. I've made Chicken Paprikash or a version of it most of my adult life. There's something about the paprika-laden creamy sauce that just screams comfort food. This is the national dish of Hungary. For good reason. It's a very flavorful dish. It's not also a light dish [...]
A Not So Vegetarian Greek Lentil Casserole
This recipe for Vegetarian Greek Lentil Casserole from Kayln's Kitchen caught my eye because it had to things: Greek food and lentils. I love Greek food and as you probably guessed, I love lentils. This looks to me more like a side dish rather than a main one. I also decided to add ground turkey [...]
Tabasco Braised Chicken, Chickpeas and Kale
I saw Tabasco in the title of the recipe and I couldn't help but check it out. Yes, this recipe from Foodie Crush was sponsored by Tabasco for a challenge. That doesn't make it bad. Tabasco sauce is a hot sauce I love because it adds just the right amount of heat and flavor. I [...]
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Chipotle Pork Tamale Chili
When I ran across the recipe for Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Tamale Chili, I stopped in my tracks. As someone who eats gluten free, tamales are WONDERFUL. In fact a lot of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes are gluten free. These restaurants are some of the few places I'm not stuck with a salad. Not that [...]
