These Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Bell Peppers check all of the boxes when it comes to weeknight dinners. First off, they are absolutely delicious (even after eating them as leftovers for the 3rd time!), they have a pretty short ingredient list and are easy to throw together, and they are nice and light/low carb and healthy! You just can't go wrong here! I can't say with certainty that I've ever actually eaten a Philly Cheesesteak? But regardless, I had the hankering to make this lighter, healthier, veggie packed version.[...]

Who doesn't love pizza? Travis loves pizza almost as much as he loves nachos (that's saying something) so he get's pretty cranky if we go too long without a bonafide pizza night. So, we (I) go to great lengths around our house to make sure "we" are getting our pizza cravings satisfied. From cauliflower crust, to gluten-free flour blends, to these Pizza Stuffed Bell Peppers, we will do what it takes to make sure we aren't missing out on the amazing flavors of pizza (even though I mostly avoid gluten)! We typically reserve[...]
From the sounds of it, cities all over the country are finally starting to get glimpses of sunshine, warmer temperatures, and the relief of SPRING! I am sure that after a long, cold start to the year, people on the east coast are jumping with joy. While the weather is very commonly sunny and warm here in southern California, temperatures reached the mid-90s this week, which was (in my opinion) a little over the top. Most people that know me know that I am NOT a big fan of the heat (unless I am sitting by a pool/body of water[...]
We've got 2 recipes for the price of one in today's post! Here's what happened- I was experimenting in the kitchen last weekend and made 2 versions of the same basic dish, and then couldn't decide which one I wanted to share here today. They both turned out to be super tasty, and each have their benefits depending on your specific dietary needs or preferences :) This Cauliflower Mac & Cheese is a low carb, highly nutritious version of everyone's favorite side dish. I've done cauliflower mashed "potatoes", and cauli[...]
I've said it before and I'll say it again..I LOVE an entree salad! This particular salad is easily one of my favorites, and I have been waiting (im)patiently for Fall to arrive to make it. OF COURSE, I could make it any time of the year, but it is just so quintessentially fall that I like to save it for the most wonderful time of the year. This salad is loaded with all the best Fall flavors like dried cranberries, pepitas, beets, bacon, and sweet potatoes, to name a few! If you are an entree salad skeptic like Travis, I[...]
My heart is telling me that it's time to start bringing out my sweatshirts and favorite fall recipes, but my thermostat is telling me that soups, chili, and casseroles are completely out of the question. I like to pretend that Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer, but Mother Nature never seems to get the memo. It is HOT is San Diego this week, so I am once again completely unwilling to use the stove or oven. This insanely simple shrimp made on the BBQ is so easy it's almost not even a recipe, but it was just SO del[...]
It's hard to believe, but it feels like summer is winding down. I don't know if it's the unseasonably cool temperatures we've been having, or that all the schools are back in session, but I am seeing fall on the horizon, which is incredibly exciting because it is easily my favorite time of the year!! But before we jump into pumpkin spice everything, let's first talk about your upcoming Labor Day weekend! (I have always felt like Labor Day weekend is the official departure of summer.) Whether you are planning on going to[...]
If you could only eat one cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be? Hands down, I would choose Mexican food. First of all: Margaritas. Second of all: Nachos. Honestly, I think I could stop there- case closed, problem solved, no more need for discussion. But I will go on in case you aren't convinced. You can make a variety of delicious meals using all different types of meat (chicken, beef, pork, seafood...) You can also easily adapt for fulfilling, flavorful vegetarian options. Any cut/cooking method also[...]
This low carb, paleo, whole 3o friendly meal is a fun way to use up more of that summer squash without much effort! We are back to the daily routine after an awesome week on the east coast. I always feel so fulfilled after getting to spend quality time with some of my closest girl friends. A lot of the people I love are spread all over the country, which is a bummer, but it also makes these visits that much sweeter! Plus, my friends make some really cute kids and it is so fun seeing the difference a year makes in their[...]
