Apple Pie Crumble for Two

Tina0 Comments

Guys, I have the most delicious mini dessert for you. My husband loves pies so I wanted to bake him some kind of pie for Valentine’s Day. I didn’t want to bake a normal size pie for just the two of us because I didn’t want an entire pie lingering around. Don’t get me wrong, pie is delicious, but my waistline would not be happy with me. These personal sized pies are SO delicious. My husband said that I should have made a normal size because he wanted to enjoy the leftovers. Womp, womp. I actually agree with him, but …

Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Guys, this chicken is ridiculously delicious. If you know me or are familiar with my blog then you know that I’m not the biggest fan of chicken.  I won’t bore you with the details again, but just know where I’m coming from when I say that I’m blown away by this teriyaki chicken, especially because me and chicken don’t get along very well. This chicken is exactly what it sounds like.  You’re baking chicken in a homemade teriyaki sauce.  The sauce is amazing.  It’s a traditional sweet and salty Asian sauce with garlic and ginger.  I definitely recommend using fresh ginger …

Beef Tacos

I’m throwing a taco party. Seriously, doesn’t a taco party sound like so much fun?!  You can set up a buffet with a whole bunch of taco ingredients and let everyone make their own tacos.  We had a taco party for 2 at home this past weekend and the only thing missing was the loud music. Usually we use a pre-made taco seasoning mix to flavor our taco meat (depending on the day, we use beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken).  However, lately I haven’t liked it.  Maybe my taste buds are changing or maybe the bottle is old.  Whatever the reason, I was …

Chocolate Chia Mousse

Tina2 Comments

Have you ever cooked with chia seeds? I often add chia seeds to my smoothies. They contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and a lot of other good stuff. I’ve seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, which sounds delicious. Why haven’t I tried that before? I decided to make some the other day. When I took the first bite I quickly remembered that I did try it before and I didn’t like it. It turns out that I still don’t like it. It was boring and the seeds turn into a weird texture, almost slimy, when they sit …

Cold Sesame Noodles

Tina2 Comments

This is a meatless lunch and I’m loving it. If you’re familiar with me or my blog then you know that I live for easy lunches that I can make ahead of time to bring to work. I’ve noticed that I eat healthier when I prep my lunches on Sunday before the busy week. I’d bet that many of you feel the same way as me. So today I have a new favorite lunch. I saw this recipe on Instagram a few months ago and I couldn’t wait to try it. It had my name written all over it. I …
