Primal Meatloaf with Veggies
Do you have memories of your Mom’s meatloaf growing up? Whether those are good or bad memories, I feel like most of us don’t think about making meatloaf anymore. This recipe isn’t filled with bread crumbs and ketchup like I remember. Instead it is grain-free and loaded with veggies! The veggies make this meatloaf super moist […]
Fajita Beef Stew
I had some beef stew meat in the freezer but wasn’t feeling the traditional beef stew with carrots, onions and potatoes. I snooped around a bit and saw a recipe that inspired me to make this dish. This could be served over a bed of cauliflower rice, stuffed in a sweet potato or served […]
Italian Spaghetti Squash Pie
When my kids were growing up I would make a spaghetti pie recipe that would make them do a happy dance. It was of course made with spaghetti noodles and a few other unhealthy ingredients. This recipe reinvents that old favorite and turns it into a healthy and very tasty version. You might even fool […]

Buying fresh quality ingredients whenever possible will increase the nutritional value and flavor of your dishes as well. The chicken sausage I bought was Coleman from Costco. […]
Autumn Lamb Hash
I named this dish autumn hash because of its combination of flavors…squash, pumpkin, and cinnamon. I used some ground lamb that I had in the freezer but feel free to use ground beef, turkey or sausage. For a time saving option, purchase fresh, pre-cut and packaged squash in produce section. No shame involved! Ingredients (serves 4-6) 1 […]
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
You have to love anything in a slow cooker. Add the ingredients, plug it in before you leave the house in the morning and come home to a hot meal! Pulled pork gives you the added benefit of serving it throughout the week in different ways. I usually put everything in the crock the night before, […]
Chicken and Vegetable Frittata
Frittatas are a quick, easy, and extremely versatile meal. You can serve them as your main entree one night and for breakfast the next morning. I don’t think you can go wrong. Any combination of meat, veggies and spices will work. While you can certainly go with some sort of theme (Mexican, Mediterranean, or seafood), you […]
