Zoodle Lo Mein

Yet again, this recipe was inspired by The Skinnytaste Cookbook. I am a big fan of anything with pasta, and as an attempt to reduce carbs I decided to experiment with the zoodle (zucchini noodle) trend. I have to admit that I was skeptical, but the zoodles did in fact taste like noodles and turned out delicious! This dish is packed with vegetables and you can add whatever meat you'd like, or leave it vegetarian. 

Perfect Pesto

Pesto is a powerful sauce packed with incredible Mediterranean flavor, low calories, and heart-healthy mono-unsaturated fats. It's easy to make, and once you try it, you'll never go back to store bought again. Plus you can keep a jar of it in your fridge and just slather it on some pasta on those busy week nights.

Chicken Curry with Saag Aloo

I enjoy exploring different cuisines from around the world, and Indian food has been one of my favorites lately. What makes Indian cuisine stand out is all of the bold, flavorful spices. Don't be intimidated by "Saag Aloo", it simply means "spinach and potatoes."

Jalapeño Bacon Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs have been one of my favorite foods as long as I can remember. And I love adding different ingredients to put a spin on the basic recipe. The #1 most important part of making deviled eggs is boiling them properly. I always use fresh eggs from our very own flock, and fresh eggs are even more of a challenge to properly hard boil than store bought eggs.

World's Best Tomato Soup

My husband and I have been on the hunt for the world's best tomato soup for quite some time. At last, we finally found it thanks to Serious Eats. This recipe makes a huge batch, which is great for freezing and keeping on hand for those cold winter days. The secret ingredient behind this recipe is the generous use of carrots, which bring a sort of untraceable sweetness to combat the acidity of the tomatoes. And the secret weapon? An emersion blender. Try it out for yourself and tell me if you, too, think it's the world's best tomato soup!

Tabatha's Swedish Meatballs

Swedish Meatballs is a dish that I grew up making with my dad at least once a month. Back in those days though, the seasoning and sauce came from a packet. I have spent the last year creating the perfect Swedish Meatball recipe that uses more ingredients from scratch, but still has that delicious nostalgic taste from my childhood.

Chickpea & Potato Curry

This flavorful dish is a great way to get a taste of Indian cuisine with easily obtainable ingredients for us Wyomingites. We always have a fair share left over, which is wonderful because I think it tastes even better the second day! This recipe was adapted from The Skinnytaste Cookbook.
