I recently had the pleasure of working with Simply Organic in creating recipes for their new line dressing mixes. They have great products and I really love how easy and flavorful this Italian Dressing tastes.

Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
Just when I thought I couldn’t get enough of my Asian Chicken Meatballs, I go and make these Chicken Parmesan Meatballs. Wowza these are so good! You may want to double the recipe.
I swear I make meatballs once a week!
Asian Chicken Meatballs
I started my new job this week! On top of running this food blog, my favorite job, I am also a registered CT technologist. I haven’t been working as a CT tech for a few months as we were getting settled in our move to Texas. So it was time to get back out there! I decided to work PRN, which is one of the perks in working in healthcare, so I still have time to work on my blog and spend time with the fam.
Blackberry Mint Sangria
I have been craving sangria ever since the weather started warming up. Nothing like a large glass of refreshing sangria loaded with fresh fruit and mint on a gorgeous day!
At first I was going to add a citrus vodka to the drink, but as is turns out the new area we live in is a “damp” town. What the heck does that mean… Well, we learned you can only buy beer and wine in the town we live in. If we want liquor we have to travel to another town. Good thing the hubby and I only really drink beer and wine!
Now back to the sangria… Since the vodka idea didn’t work out I found some triple sec left over from the move so I used that instead. I had used triple sec in my Summer Strawberry Rosemary Sangria from last year so I figured it would work. And boy it did! Cheers!

Rosemary Sweet Potato Stackers
Looking for something different to serve as a side for Easter… How perfect are these Rosemary Sweet Potato Stackers? They look and taste amazing! Every little slice of potato is cooked to perfection in the muffin pan.
My original intent was to create a potato recipe to help with my portion control. Well that didn’t work, I ended up eating three. I had to be certain the flavor was just right so I stepped up… Who am I kidding I knew at the first bite they were divine 🙂 I have serious issues with potatoes…I just love them!

Paleo Avocado Turkey Burgers
Burgers are one of my go to dinners during the week. I make them at least once a week. They are easy to make and take minutes to cook.
Thai Cashew Chicken Salad
You can never have too many chicken salad recipes in my book. I don’t really care for mayo so this is a great change up to the traditional chicken salad recipe. Plus, I loooove the combination of flavors in thai recipes.
Crispy Baked Avocado Fries
If you have been following my blog for sometime now you probably have figured out I LOVE avocados. So when they were 4 for $5 at the market I had to buy them. I thought I had tried everything I could think of using an avocado… Guacamole, Avocado Egg Salad, Avocado Grilled Cheese, and simply dicing them up and putting them in just about anything. Then I realized I have never made avocado fries! WHAAAAT?
Paleo Guacamole Stuffed Deviled Eggs
