These Mexican inspired Roasted Poblano Breakfast Tacos are filled with poblano scrambled eggs with a touch of cheddar folded into a warm tortilla. Then they’re topped off with a fire roasted salsa, sliced avocado and a drizzle of sour cream to take them right over the top. These breakfast tacos were inspired by one of our last Farmer’s Market a couple weeks ago. I follow one of our local farmers on Instagram, and I saw they were having a stock up sale....
This Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette is the perfect bright spot to any comfort food meal! This salad came about because I was in a rut with Brussels sprouts. I pretty much roast my them the same way every single time. It’s really good, but I haven’t posted it since it’s barely a recipe. I just lightly coat them with olive oil, sea salt, and garlic powder, then roast until caramelized....
Savory aromas fill your house while this Slow Cooker Pork Roast is cooking. It’s a simple Sunday dinner at its finest, and perfect for gathering everyone around the table. It’s naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and full of flavor. The pork shoulder roast cooks surrounded by carrots and potatoes making this a one-pot dinner.

These Thai Basil Turkey Lettuce Wraps are a super easy Whole30 recipe that’s perfect for a light meal! I’m a huge lettuce wrap fan, especially in the summer. I tend to crave lighter meals, packed with fresh produce and, of course, full of flavor. However, sometimes I like to ‘bulk up’ my ‘light’ meals. If you’re feeling extra hungry, try adding cooked vermicelli rice noodles to your lettuce wraps as well....
Today we’re pairing decadence with no-bake convenience in this Nutella inspired tart. It looks impressive, yet it’s quite easy to make. Although I won’t deceive you, peeling the hazelnuts takes a little time, that will more than rewarded when you take your first bite! The ultimate dessert for me is one that can be made ahead, and kept in the refrigerator so there’s no work to do when you’re actually in the middle of entertaining....
The perfect fun new way to eat eggs, these Western Omelet Waffles aka ‘Chaffles’ are savory and so tasty! They’re easy to make, naturally gluten-free, and a protein-packed way to enjoy breakfast. You can make these with just eggs and cheese, then top the chaffles with the Western omelet toppings, or add them right into the egg mixture. So here’s to weekend breakfasting at a whole new level! Flavor is key for me to avoid boredom at mealtimes....
We love taking scenic byways whenever we can! Not only do you see a ton of fantastic scenery, but scenic byways also make for a good activity to do whenever you’re having a rest day in between bigger hikes. We were a little thrashed after our super long (and magnificent) day hiking in The Narrows, (post coming soon) so we decided take it easy for the day and go for a drive....
Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park is standby for us each year. It’s one of the first trails to open every spring, and one of the last to close in the late fall. We tend to visit this lake at least twice a year and it’s just as gorgeous every single time. Of course since this hike is jam packed with views and fairly easy, it’s also very popular. During the summer months it can be a little wall to wall with people, and you’ll struggle to find a parking space during the mid-day hours....
I’m a huge fan of easy dinners, and if they come together in just 1 pan/pot that’s all the better for the dishwasher, (aka… me). Sheet pan dinners are relatively new in our house, but it only took the first meal to know that this concept of baking everything on a cookie sheet is going to be happening a lot! I’ve been craving everything fall right now, so the first recipe I have actually written down for you is packed with butternut squash....
I don’t know what I want to celebrate more – the fact that watermelon and tomatoes are unbelievable right now, or that the cases of juicy ripe peaches are starting to arrive! Oh how I love the summer abundance that starts in July and runs right into my favorite months of fall. You really can’t be too overly enthusiastic because after many long winter months of lack luster produce, everything tastes amazing....
Hot, Sour, Salty, and Sweet – these are the 4 flavors that Asian cuisine is built around, and a fifth is sometimes added into the mix called umami. Each meal is carefully crafted around balancing the different flavors and textures so that the overall meal is satifying. I love this whole concept, and I try to work it into my recipes as often as I can. Today, there’s a little heat in the form of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce in the burgers, a slight bit of tang in the slaw that plays off the sweetness of sweet potato, and it’s all wrapped up with a touch of saltiness from the blue cheese crumbles....

This Easy Sautéed Lemon Herb Zucchini is a super flavorful way to use up lots of zucchini. It’s packed with flavor thanks to the garlic, chopped thyme and a touch of lemon all topped off with a touch of crunchy pine nuts. We’re continuing with the side dishes again this week with another easy, flavorful recipe! With the abundance of summer zucchini right around the corner, I’m already thinking of ways to use up what’s coming....
With six ingredients and 20 minutes to make, this garlic cream sauce pairs well with so many things. Toss it with freshly cooked pasta, or drizzle it over your next steak dinner. You can serve it with chicken, pork chops, or even seafood. Enjoy this sauce with two different garlic flavors. You can use fresh garlic, or there’s also an option to use roasted garlic. This flavorful sauce can be made year-round too....
I used to think of things like my One Pot Mac and Cheese as pretty much the ultimate comfort food. But then I tasted Indian Butter Chicken (while we were living in Calgary, where the Indian food is amazing!), and that was all it took to change my mind about comfort food. While I’m not saying anything against mac and cheese by any means, there’s just something about butter chicken that I love even more....
This homemade Moisturizing Mint Body Wash is easy to mix together, and I love the cooling effect of mint on my skin! I don’t really know why it’s taken me so long to make another body wash recipe. But ever since I first did this Grapefruit Ginger Body Wash , I haven’t made another one. It could have something to do with selling our house – then moving – then the crazy process of building....
Super tender and oh-so juicy, this baked Pork Tenderloin is really easy to cook, and so versatile. Garlic and herbs combine together to create a flavor combo everyone loves. I’ve also included my other variations in the recipe below so you can endlessly change it up. This super tender pork tenderloin is great for a dinner party or for a family dinner. It’s easy to make, but it also looks gorgeous laid out on a serving platter....
These Rainbow Veggie Dragon Noodles are simply loaded with veggies and nutrients. But you definitely wont’ be bored with this meatless meal since it’s all flavor. I kept the amount of sriracha to a reasonable amount, but feel free to get as ‘dragon-ish’ as you’d like! These noodles are actually zucchini noodles with a mix of carrot noodles as well. The veggie noodles make this dish a full meal without having to cook anything else....
Easy to make, this Raspberry Ice Cream tastes like summer but can be made year-round with frozen berries. A simple custard base makes this berry ice cream ultra-smooth and so creamy, but with plenty of raspberry flavor. This ice cream makes the perfect summer dessert, but it’s also great with chocolate cake or a batch of brownies in the winter. We’ve been making this ice cream since 2013, and today, I have a few more tips and tricks to share with you!...
A super tasty and classic combination! This Sausage and Peppers sheet pan dinner comes together in under 30 minutes and is so adaptable. It’s naturally gluten-free and dairy-free as well. Try it with different kinds of sausages, or add the optional tomatoes for a fun twist. It’s great with simple side dishes like my Creamy Mashed Cauliflower , or with freshly cooked pasta. Sausage and peppers have been a long-time favorite combination in our house....
