Who doesn’t love Sloppy Joes? I always used to wonder why people would use packets or cans of sloppy joe sauce growing up because I learned how to make them from scratch thanks for a cookbook for children that I once had. The ingredients were so easy, I couldn’t figure out why anyone would want…

Chicken and Dumplings
The weather is getting cooler, right? Maybe not in California exactly, but we can have wishful thoughts. Fortunately it is getting cooler in the evening, so at least dinner can still be all nice and warm and comforting and autumny. Chicken and Dumplings 1 whole chicken, washed and cut into quarters water 3 onions, cut…
Another Spaghetti Squash Creation
Mission: make healthy dinner quick with what’s on hand, which happens to be primarily ground turkey and spaghetti squash… aaaand GO! Now before some of you go all “WHAT?! There’s butter and cream in the recipe! How is that GOOD for you??” These are generally good fats that help with nutrient absorption and good fats…
Beanless Chicken Chili with Cauliflower
It’s been a long tiiiiime… since I posted anythiiiiing… Sorry about that guys. Life happened. I was busy adjusting to my new food life the last few months, trying to get better at understanding what works for a “Lean and Green” meal on my Medifast plan. I’ve also been thinking up and researching new recipes….
Healthier General Tso’s Chicken
So this recipe isn’t totally 100% on plan for me, but it’s delicious and I figured the extra little bit of non-plan items I was getting wouldn’t hurt too bad. I really wanted some Chinese-ish for dinner (even though General Tso’s Chicken is totally an American thing… I think…), so I made a sauce that…
Food Porn: Spiced Crockpot Beef Roast

Gluten Free Corn Dog Bites
Corn dogs are amazing. That’s all that really needs to be said about them. Except that I want to add that homemade corn dogs are even better than amazing. I’m still adjusting this recipe a little bit for the batter. The corn meal is a little too gritty for my tastes so I’m testing doing…
Missing Recipe: Char Siu Marinade
A while back I posted about making Char Siu but I had lost the marinade recipe. I lost it so hard that I can’t even find the original recipe online that I modified. So I had to test again and I have a new one. I’m testing the sauce today with pieces of pork butt, rather…
Chili con Fway
Archaellys’ chili is hands down my favorite chili. True statement right there. I’m a lucky girl and for the most part this is pretty healthy AND comforting, so when I’m down Arc has been known to make a batch of chili to cheer me up. That Arc though… Of course, there are ways to increase…
Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Have you ever had the magical vegetable that is spaghetti squash? I have to admit that I wasn’t super fond of it the first time I tried it and occasionally I’m not so keen on what I’ve done with it. I’m still learning what flavors I like when using spaghetti squash. Sometimes it ends up…
Roast Beef
Sometimes I just crave beef. I try not to eat too much red meat, but there are times when a big piece of cow just hits the spot. I picked up a 4 pound rump roast at the store and decided to roast it up. Served it up with some roasted asparagus and ranch style…
