Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Stuffed poblano peppers are one of my favorite recipes to make for dinner and my go-to meal to order at my local Mexican restaurant. But, instead of always ordering take-out, I decided to make my own version at home! You can make these stuffed poblano peppers with chorizo, ground chicken, or ground turkey. This recipe is incredibly simple to make and is a delicious riff on a traditional stuffed pepper with a Mexican twist. The poblano adds a nice layer of heat and using cauliflower adds in even more veggies.  Another favorite thing about this recipe is that it freezes really well. I wanted to think outside the box and stay away from typical soups and stews to find something that would be delicious reheated for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Yes, I said breakfast. I had one this morning with a runny fried egg - so yummy!! Using the small freezer-safe containers, I doubled the recipe and added one stuffed pepper to each container. They are airtight, which means no worry about freezer b

Teriyaki Shrimp with Green Beans

If you’re looking for an easy and healthy weeknight meal, look no further than this Teriyaki Shrimp recipe. Not only is it super quick and easy to make, but it’s beyond delicious! Dare I say… It’s even better than take-out. I have always been a huge fan of all things teriyaki . The combination of sweet and salty ingredients like soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil produces the most incredible flavor. Because the sauce is so easy to whip up, I have tried out a ton of different teriyaki dishes. From Baked Teriyaki Chicken to Teriyaki Beef Kabobs  and  Teriyaki Salmon , I have found that you really can’t go wrong with those amazing sweet and salty flavors. This healthier spin on an iconic take-out dish is one of my favorite ways to enjoy homemade teriyaki sauce. Because shrimp cooks quicker than almost any other protein source, this dish is ready in no time at all. It’s such a lifesaver when you’re short on time, feeling exhausted after a busy day, or simply want to enjoy

Turkish Kofte Meatballs

These Turkish Meatballs are exactly what I want to be eating for dinner every night. Every single bite is packed with flavor from a combination of ground lamb, ground beef, and tons of fresh herbs and spices. Serve with pita bread and a fresh salad for a meal you will make again and again.  There is something about meatballs that makes everyone in our family excited to come to the dinner table and these Kofta meatballs have become one of our favorites. Normally, I like to set up the table with white rice, tomato and cucumber salad, toasted pita bread, Tzatziki or yogurt sauce, and extra fresh herbs. Everyone gets to build their own bowls or sandwiches. It's always a hit and reminds me of meals at one of our favorite Turkish restaurants. The more stuff on the table - the better! The other thing I love about this recipe is that you can prep a big batch and freeze them for later. They are a lifesaver for busy nights and so much tastier than store-bought meatballs. What are Turkis

Easy Baked Apples

Easy Baked Apples are a fall favorite in my home. Made simply with fresh apples, butter, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon, this wholesome dessert is loved by all. Serve it with whipped cream or ice cream for the ultimate treat! As one of the most beloved fruits of the fall season, apples are an obvious choice when I’m craving something sweet. From apple pie to Grilled Apples and my favorite Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins , the possibilities with this delicious fruit are endless. One of my family’s favorite fall activities is going apple picking at our local orchard. There’s just something about foraging for the fruit yourself that makes it all the more satisfying to eat. When our crew gets home from a fun afternoon and I realize that we now have a bushel of apples in the kitchen, it’s time to get creative. Therefore, I am always on the hunt for exciting and unique ways to use fresh apples in a wide variety of meals. Thus is the story behind these delicious Easy Baked Apples. Mad
