I've made this three times, every time delicious, but I believe I've got it just the way I want it this time! As you may or may not know, I'm NOT good with measurements. I like to adjust to my liking, so bear with me. These are VERY close to accurate! Ha but no worries, you can always tweak it, too!

 A friend hosted a lovely dinner party last weekend and the main dish was beef tenderloin and picanha.  Everyone brought a side dish and I did this creamed spinach from The Novice Chef.  It was sooooooo easy and delicious, and paired so well with steak and red wine!  I used their recipe but added a pinch of nutmeg to it.  Trust this recipe and look no further!   (I doubled, but here is her recipe) 3 10-oz bags frozen chopped spinach 2 Tbsp butter 1 Medium yellow onion, diced 6 large garlic cloves, minced 4 oz cream cheese 1 Cup heavy cream 1 Cup shredded mo ..read more

This was so tasty.  I used whatever cheese I had in my fridge, some heavy cream, butter, and a whole sweet potato.  The kids scarfed it down and had no idea!  I don't really have measurements...I dumped a bunch of elbow pasta in the water and I have no idea how much it was.  Just follow the basic steps and use your judgement :) Cook noodles, drain and set aside. Make a roux, whisking together butter and flour (about 1 Tbsp of each).  Slowly stir in about 3/4 cup of either milk, half and half, or heavy cream, constantly whisking.  Add salt and pepper.  Rem ..read more

This came together randomly, after I slow cooked a pork butt.  I decided to use the leftovers for tacos.  Can I say that this combination of flavors was so impressive, I ate them last night and am already craving them today.  Make these.  Then tell me what you think! Toast and set aside 4 hard shell tacos. In a bowl, mix together 1 cup shredded cabbage mix (I use Trader Joe's) and toss with juice of 1 lime, 1 large chopped green onion, and salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt with 1 Tbsp chili lime seasoning (also from T ..read more

This recipe is from @happy_lowcarb_mom from Instagram.  I doubled her recipe and added a ton of fresh chopped spinach for some added nutrition.  This is a very easy dish to make, it is VERY handy when made ahead of time, is great with added "fixins" and is low/no carb.  I substituted a mixture of ground turkey and ground turkey breast to lower the fat content, and used skim milk shredded cheese to offset the eggs and heavy cream fat.  The husband enjoyed this, particularly for how filling it was. 1 lb ground turkey breast 1 lb ground turkey 2 pkgs taco ..read more
