These overnight oats packed with shredded zucchini will remind of you freshly baked zucchini bread but in a make-ahead, healthy breakfast option.  Not only will they keep you full all morning long, they are also a great way to sneak in extra veggies in the morning. I have been on an oatmeal kick lately since it finally started to cool down and I couldn't be happier to embrace cooler weather, even if it only lasts for a few days. With cooler weather, I find myself reaching for oatmeal in the morning and am always on the lookout for new recipes to keep things fresh. Inspired by one of my breakfast favorites, zucchini bread, this simple and healthy zucchini oatmeal is a great way to sneak in some veggies with breakfast. The basic recipe pulls in the traditional flavors of zucchini bread - cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and lots of shredded zucchini. From there, I highly encourage playing around with your favorite toppings - pecans, almond butter, shredded coconut, raisins, or even

This Crockpot Chicken and Quinoa soup is easy to make, full of flavor, and will keep you full for hours. It's a spin on a traditional chicken noodle soup but made with protein-packed quinoa and vitamin rich kale.  I love hearty soups and I cannot lie (tell me you all remember that song?). In fact, hearty warm soups are my dinner of choice right now, and this soup doesn’t disappoint. Let's be honest, it's rare that homemade soup disappoints ever. But, I am talking about this Chicken Quinoa Soup with Kale in particular. What makes it hearty is all the ingredients I've packed into this one soup. First off, the quinoa adds even more protein to the dish, making it a soup that will fill any eater. Then, I like to use poblano peppers in it as well to give this soup the slightest touch of spice in the background, but you could easily use bell peppers too. In addition, you could also add a can of diced tomatoes to deepen the flavor if you like. And, as always, I would be rem

These light and tasty chicken and feta stuffed meatballs are packed with garlic, onion, feta, and more and are perfect alone or over pasta or veggie noodles.  It's no secret that I love meatballs. It's so easy to mix up the flavors in meatballs, plus, you can eat them over almost anything: the usual pasta, in a sandwich, over the top of a salad, you name it. The thing that sets these Chicken Feta Meatballs apart is, for one, the salty tanginess of the feta that you get with every bite. That, plus the addition of panko breadcrumbs for a bit of crunch and texture, garlic because it's never not a good idea, a bit of lemon, onion, some parsley, egg, and Italian seasoning...make these once and you'll wonder where they've been all your life! Personally, I like to make up a big batch and freeze some for later so I can enjoy them again and again. How do you make Chicken Feta Meatballs? Making these meatballs is a cinch! First, preheat your oven to 450 degrees and li

This healthy Beef and Barley Stew tastes like it has been simmering on the stove all day long but is made in under an hour with the help of the Instant Pot. It can also be made in the slow cooker in case you don't have an Instant Pot at home. My family absolutely loves traditional beef stew and it's something I make all the time. The only problem is that it isn't one of my favorite dishes. I don't mind it, but its not something I crave or look forward to eating. Honestly, I am normally more excited about the salad and bread that I usually serve on the side. However, since it is such a staple in our home, I have been looking for an updated version that will make everyone happy and I found that in this Beef and Barley Stew. It's made with a lot of the same ingredients as a traditional beef stew - onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, thyme - but the addition of the barley adds something special. It's hearty, slightly earthy, and adds some much-needed texture. I

Homemade blackening seasoning made with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and a hint of spice tastes better than store-bought options and is better for you. Try it with these Blackened Salmon , Blackened Shrimp , or Blackened Chicken Salad . Whenever possible I like to create my own spice blends at home. Not only can it be a great way to save money, but it also lets me control the ingredients so I can adjust them exactly to my liking. Lately, I have been using a lot of this homemade blackened seasoning blend for fish and chicken on the grill. It's a simple rub to put together but adds the most amazing flavor to meat and veggies. Once you start using, I can pretty much promise you will be putting it on everything. It makes amazing chicken tacos, the best pan-seared fish, and even tastes good in soups and chilis. One more favorite use for this easy spice blend - use it for sweet potato fries. The sweet and spicy combination is hard to beat. What's in homemade bl

This easy Shrimp Stir Fry with a honey garlic stir fry sauce is one of those quick and easy dinners that tastes just like takeout. The sauce is made with a combination of honey, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, orange juice, and soy sauce for an irristiable sweet and savory flavor.  It's almost fall! Can you believe it? After the year we've all had, I'm so happy to be inching ever-so-closer to a new year. And fall to me means comfort food and my go-to comfort food? Well it tends to generally be all foods Asian (and Mexican). In this case, it's a honey garlic shrimp stir fry. Using quick-cooking shrimp, a ton of fresh veggies, garlic, ginger, and a sauce made slightly salty, slightly sweet, and slightly tangy, I think you'll agree this dish hits all the right comfort food notes. Plus, it's warm, hardy, filling, and of course, way better for you than takeout! So next time you want to reach for your keys and head to the nearest Chinese restaurant, take this ingredien
