Listen to Your Body...

Listen to Your Body...
Dear Kitchen Family, Can we talk about food for a second? This morning I woke up craving toast.  Not avocado toast, not sweet potato toast (yes, that's a thing), just good ol' fashioned toast.  You know, the crispy kind, with butter on it.  Of course my initial reaction was to deny myself …

Roasted Parmesan Carrots Recipe
* This Post Contains Affiliate Links * I'm going to be completely transparent with you for a moment.  I really struggle with side dishes.  One pot meals, no problem.  Entrees, all day long.  But side dishes, yeah I have a hard time with them.  Since I've been trying to eat cleaner, I'm f…

Chipotle Chicken Quinoa Bowl Recipe

Chipotle Chicken Quinoa Bowl Recipe
One of the things I have come to love about healthy cooking is the fact that it is so simplistic.  Growing up in Appalachia, cooking always seemed daunting and fussy.  Lots of frying, and gravy, and cheese, and...well...you get it.  However, since I have cleaned up my eating habits, some of my fav…

Sausage and Herbed Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipe

Sausage and Herbed Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipe
It seems like everyone I know is jumping on the clean eating band wagon.  The one thing that keeps coming up in our conversations is how expensive it is.  You can walk into the supermarket and fill a cart full of crap for $50, but that same amount will barely cover the bottom with fresh fruits and…

Easy Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe

Easy Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe
I have always been a long time lover of soup.  There's just something about holding a warm bowl of goodness in your hand during these chilly autumn evenings that soothes the soul.  Another thing I'm starting to realize about soup is that, when you are trying to eat healthy, soup is ALWAYS …

Chicken Sausage and Kale over Rice Recipe

Chicken Sausage and Kale over Rice Recipe
*This post contains affiliate links* When I began to change my eating habits, one of the biggest hurdles I faced was those nights when I didn't feel like cooking a big meal.  Usually I would throw in a frozen pizza or order out, but it's not that simple when you're eating healthy.  So o…
