[RECIPE] Easy Homestyle Chili

There is NOTHING better a hearty, healthy home cooked chili, on a crisp fall or winter day.  Agree?

This recipe has been in my family for years and has yet to be messed with, other than swapping out the meat between ground beef, bison or ground turkey.  Too each their own, but regardless, so simple to make and is even better on Day 2.

Serves roughly 6-8 people or 4 with LOTS of leftovers (again, DELICIOUS on day 2 and co…

[RECIPE] Paleo-Friendly Sweet Potato Shepard's Pie

Fall is in the air, so it was time to bust out my favorite Fall recipe - Paleo-Friendly Sweet Potato Shepard's Pie.

The good news for any "dieter" - it's Paleo-friendly, gluten-free, Dairy free & Soy free.

With a small amount of prep work (cutting the veggies), I felt it was a pretty effortless meal, for the amount of food you get and the meal you'll have for the next day or so! If you have  big family or want a few more meals out of it, DOUBLE the recipe and have at it.

As you know, I'm not one to…

Who doesn't need more simplicity in their life? When you have 4 kids, a home business, a household to run and well, a LIFE (sometimes), finding an extra 30 minutes to whip up something healthy and crafty in the kitchen, comes few and far between.

FIMG_7588or so long, I thought the Crockpot was JUST for Fall or Winter! OH NO, my friends!! It's a great summer kitchen appliance too!

Yes, total mind blown!

I love throwing things into a bowl and eating it. I've never claimed to be a fancy chef or have perfect p…

[RECIPE] Chocolate Shakeology Pancakes



 

I don't know about you, but around our full house, there calls for PANCAKES on Sunday! And as much as I am a fan of the yummy fluffy IHOP style pancakes, they do NOTHING for my fitness goals, nor are the remotely as nutritious as these Chocolate Shakeology pancakes.

These are tried and true amongst 3 of the 4 little mouths that we feed each day (the 4th isn't quite there with finger food yet - but I know her mind will be BLOWN, when she can grub on them). Plus, these are totally 21 Day Fix frien…
