Roni ate a crayon

The middle part. Perhaps like real food, is this the juiciest part? I don’t know why or what got into her but she not usually isn’t a newer or eater of non edible items. My girl is sophisticated; enjoys edamame with a little sea salt, broiled chicken, and sweet potato dog cookies, she’s not some gremlin with an anything goes pallet. The number one thing that has changed with Roni since Pepper went to sleep would be her appetite. She eats, yes, but she’s veryyyyy particular. She won’t eat just to eat anymore. Like dogs do, she was always quick to scarf down food or treats because she worried Pepper would beat her to it. She be little but she is fierce when it comes to her grub.                             Roni, girl!  You don't need to eat crayons! I'll meal prep for you, too! Anyhow, we don’t love her new decision making abilities a...

Spaghetti Squash and Kale Chips

Making healthy substitutions is one of my favorite things.  This beauty right here is spaghetti squash, topped with clean marinara sauce, grassfed beef bites, and kale chips was pure bliss.  It was hearty, homey, and healthy and to me that's a win. Always impressed with the angel hair like texture of spaghetti squash, which happens to be my top two favorite type of pasta.  Penne is the other, naturally. Have you tried this delicious substitution? mkh

Healthy Crockpot Chicken Chili

You say cornbread, I say don’t forget the tortilla chips .  Made this healthy crockpot chicken chili the minute the weather hit below 75.  Judging by the numerous chili dishes popping up on all social media feeds, I'm not the only one inspired and to all I say: kudos.  Celebrate this glorious weather and get down with your wonderfully excited for fall self!   For this recipe , I altered the spices slightly and garnished with fresh spinach and cheese.  Excellent way to enjoy fresh greens in their most nutritious state 🍲😍🙌!

3 Things

1.  You know you're an adult when you randomly hop up on a Sunday night saying I'm gonna make a quick frittata!  And you do. Y'all, I didn't even have to look up a recipe, my mind instantly knows what distinguishes a frittata.  It came out delicious BTW-tons of fresh spinach, onion, Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and 6 eggs =  adulting win. 2.  If I went to the Oscars, I would definitely wear something popping.  It wouldn't be at all predictable or simple.  I would wear bold colors, a unique shape, something that could potentially get me on the worst dressed list.  I kid, I kid, but really, I view this as an opportunity to have elegance yes, but I also say do it big.                          Sha                    ...

Homemade Pita Chips with Smashed Avocado

The other night I was resting from this ailment I'm plagued with and I got hungry. I didn't want anything heavy but rather filling. I was watching Teen Mom actually and Maci and her friend has just ordered guac and that sounded delicious.  I went to the kitchen and scoured for what I could make of similar nature. I took a flour wrap and ripped into pieces, sprayed some olive oil mist over them, sprinkled garlic powder and sea salt over top, then broiled for 6 mins, flipping halfway through.  Homemade pita chips essentially.  I paired with smashed up avocado, tomato and garlic.  A light yet filling, perfect healthy snack.  Now just to kick the ol'bronchitis and I'll be the happiest little lamb.  #enoughcougingalready Let's meet again, M
