Now that I have been working on eating clean for over a month I have often been splurging on the weekends. 1. that is when I do most of my baking, cooking, and editing. 2. that is when Patrick and I have the same days off and usually go try new restaurants. Which by the […]
Smoked Chicken Sausage, Bean, Kale and Parm Stew
Sometimes you just need a go to 20 minute meal. I know when I am coming home after a long day all I want is something comforting and hot as fast as possible. It definitely helps if it is something healthy as well. This creamy stew is milk and cream free. I start out cooking […]
Grilled Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
After a month of low carb meals I was running out of options. Our daily feast of chicken and broccoli was getting a little dull. I still wanted to keep the meal low carb, but I didn’t want to sacrifice flavor. Then I started dreaming about this place in down town Atlanta that makes cream […]
Blueberry Banana Muffins (Plus I am a finalist!!!)
If you don’t follow FeedFeed on instagram you may not know about their contest partnership with Bob’s Red Mill. I entered these muffins a few weeks ago, not really thinking twice, and yesterday I was given the news that I am a finalist! There are so many great bloggers in the running. I am just […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Layered Cheese Cakes
Easter is coming. Soon. Every year I try to make a big complex dessert, but this year I am staying simple. These layered cheesecakes require no baking, short stove top time, and come together in minutes. Something about homemade pudding is so comforting. The flavor is so much richer than if you used an instant […]

The star of the show is definitely this Jordana liquid matte lip paint. They are under $5 at Walgreens. Such […]
Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake
After nearly 4 weeks of eating clean and detoxing I decided to have a cheat day. Not just any cheat day. A chocolate fudge cake cheat day. You can make this cake in two 9 inch pans or as a sheet cake, but I decided to be really difficult. I made two 6 inch layers […]
Spicy Fried Chicken
There comes a time in everyone’s life where you have to decide: breast or thigh? I very rarely had fried chicken growing up. In an Italian home you typically have chicken roasted and incorporated into dishes. In my adult life I became very fond of the grilled chicken thigh, but never did I ever think […]
Cajun Alfredo With Grilled Chicken and Shrimp (AND ZOODLES)
So I finally made it. I am only one day away from completing my first 14 day cycle on this carb and sugar cleanse. I bought a veggie spiralizer so I can replace my pasta with zucchini. I know that is not for everyone – including my boyfriend. So, for this recipe to help ease […]
Best Pizza Dough I’ve Ever Had
Pizza is usually a staple in our household. It is something super easy you can throw together with whatever ingredients you have on hand. We always have a variety of meats, cheeses and veggies. This dough is my all time favorite because it is so easy. It takes hardly any time to make and tastes […]
