If you love spinach artichoke dip, you’ll love these stuffed portobello mushrooms! They worked great for meatless Monday dinners served with a green salad or you could cut them into slices for an appetizer.
They’re creamy, cheesy and have the perfect mixture of spinach and artichokes. They’re also were quick and easy to make …plus low carb! You could also make them ahead of time and bake them when you’re ready.
I love sweet potatoes and fajitas – so why not combine them?! It really tastes like a fajita and the crispy skin of the sweet potato didn’t make me miss the tortillas. It’s filling too. I could only eat a half of one, which gave me leftovers for lunch the next day. My kids were iffy on them, but still ate them.
Everyone likes takeout fried rice and it’s on my favorite things to get when I go to takeout from our local restaurant. I know it’s not the healthiest, so when I found this recipe for a healthier revision of “fried” rice, I knew it would be something my family would love. It did not disappoint either! My kids didn’t even realize the rice was swapped out with cauliflower. I served it with baked salmon and it was great for leftovers too!
12 oz bag frozen rice cauliflower
2 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, diced
6 oz broccoli florets, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1/2 cup frozen corn
2 green onions, thinly sliced
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger; set aside. In a medium skillet over low heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add in the eggs and cook all the way through. Allow to cool before cutting into small pieces. Set aside until you’re ready to finish the dish. In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium high heat. Add in the garlic and onion and stir often until the onions become translucent. Add in the broccoli, carrots and corn. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the cauliflower, eggs, green onions and soy sauce mixture. Stir constantly and continue to cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the cauliflower is heated through. Serve immediately.

I love all things with sweet potato and this recipe is no exception! I make it for Thanksgiving since it’s a such a treat, but it would be great for any dinner party. This is definitely a recipe that is an indulgence, but it’s so worth it. The sweet potatoes are creamy and the topping is crunchy, sweet and full of pecans.
I bought a head of cauliflower last week when I saw this recipe as I was killing time on Pinterest. It looked so good and I knew it would perfectly for dinner one night especially since I’m back on the LCHF (low carb, high fat) wagon. It looked so good and I knew it would help squash my cravings for carbs. It definitely did that and I loved it! The mash is super easy to make and went along with burgers (of course, bunless for me). I would have loved a little green onion in it, but I forgot to grab a bunch when I was grocery shopping.
If you’re anything like me, you find yourself with way more zucchini than you know what do with. This recipe will take care of that problem for you! I loved the combination of zucchini and spinach, plus it’s a twist without the pasta. I swapped ground turkey in place of ground beef to make it even more healthy. I might add some mushrooms next time and I’ll definitely use a mandolin to slice the zucchini thinner.
This is the first year I’m attempting to grow beets and I can’t wait to see what we get. I love beets, always have. My daughter also loves beets and we have them quite often. Until my beets are ready, I’ve picked up a couple bunches so I can make pickled beets. This recipe is super easy and there’s no canning required.
We’re all big fan of mushrooms here and this was another quick and easy recipe to make. All four of us gobbled it up without no complaints from the kids! I can wait to make it again when I can pick tomatoes and basil fresh from our garden.
Speaking of gardens, I finally got mine in on over the weekend. The weather here in PA has been miserable. Too many rainy cold days and now it looks like summer is here…I guess we skipped spring this year. I planted some new varieties of tomatoes and peppers this year and our lettuce and beets are finally starting to peek through the soil. I’m so looking forward to being able to walk out into our backyard and get homegrown veggies. What are you planting in your gardens this summer?
Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables to eat and I’m always looking for new ways to make them. This quick recipe is going to be my go-to recipe from now on! I can’t believe I never made green beans like this before. They were crisp and so delicious. I also love this new serving dish I picked up at Target last week. It’s the perfect size for serving side dishes for dinner parties!
It’s been an insane week here lately. Cooper and I both have had colds that we’re fighting and Madeline is in a walking boot. I want to restart March over again!
Now that the weather is finally turning, I’ve been trying hard to get back into eating healthy and working out again…especially since I have to run a 5K in May with Madeline. I found this recipe for a healthy slaw and it reminded me of an eggroll…without the roll. The kids were iffy on it, but I enjoyed it and it’s great that it’s made in one pan! Quick and easy!
