Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
I love simple recipes. They are perfect for when you need to whip up something quickly that you know will also taste great. When it comes to dessert, for me, simple the way I go because I spend so much time prepping all the other parts of the meal. I love serving fun things like three ingredient TWIX dip or s’mores pizza. My newest favorite is this easy coconut chocolate pie.

One of our favorite breakfast items is Dark Chocolate Cranberry Baked Oatmeal! I am a firm believer that how you start the day makes all the difference in how your day will go.

Shepherd’s pie is one of my favorite winter meals. There is something so comforting about the mix of beef, vegetables and a mashed potato topping. I’ve lightened it up before with a cauliflower carrot topping {a must try} but my most recent switch up came in the form of Italian Shepherd’s pie. Even though we are getting into spring now and I am loving all the delicious spring recipes, I still turn to some of my comfort food favorites on the cooler evenings.

Weeknight meals can sometimes be the most difficult to come up with. We tend to make the same things over and over again and then get bored with them. To keep from hearing “spaghetti, again?” too often, I try to change things up while still keeping our weeknight meals easy to make. One of my newest favorites is lemon paprika chicken.

Do you love snack bars? We’re huge fans and like to have a variety of different types around the house. Recently, though, I started making my own because it allowed me to control the ingredients that went into them and really customize them to what my family likes. These gluten free no bake granola bars are my most recent attempt and they are my favorite ones to date.

The weather is starting to warm up and, for me especially, that means I love having salads for lunch. The hardest part about making a great salad though is finding a salad dressing that tastes great but isn’t full of sugar or bunch of other additives. My friend and I were talking one day and decided that we definitely needed to find a paleo green goddess dressing. After scouring a few stores and coming up empty, we decided to make our own instead.

For years, we’ve done movie nights on Fridays. It is the best way to end the week. Of course, there are three Ps that are necessary for a successful movie night: plot, pizza and popcorn (dark chocolate sea salt is a sweet favorite). For our most recent movie night, I created taco ranch popcorn for the perfect hit of spice and a little change from our usual movie theater butter version.

I had a flashback the other day to my days after school coming home to have a snack. Little bagel pizzas were my absolute favorite. We’ve bought them from time to time but H has way more fun creating her own freezer friendly pizza bagels.
