Mustard Chicken

Mustard chicken is done a variety of ways. With my Mustard Chicken recipe, your chicken will stay extremely juicy while having a tasty sauce over top. This recipe is great to just throw together and leave in the oven. We all get busy, so prep time isn't always something we have time for. This can be thrown together really quick so you can accomplish other tasks while it's baking. You can serve the chicken with steamed veggies, salad, or any other side dish of your choice. 

Chicken Enchiladas with Red Sauce

Making your own enchiladas for that great fall and Winter weather should be easy. With this recipe it is! 

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 small package of corn tortillas
• 1 package of shredded cheese
• 3-4 chicken breasts cooked (with salt and pepper)
• 1/2 onion chopped (you can saute the onion for more of a caramelized taste)
• 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 2 Cups Chicken Broth
• 4 Tablespoons Chile Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Cumin
• 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1 Teaspoon ground Black Pepper
• Pinch of Cinnamon (brings the flavors together) 
• 3 1/4 Tablespoons Flour
• 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Mini Pizzas

Mini pizzas- fun for the whole family. These are incredibly easy to make and fun to eat. They work for dinner, for appetizers, or for parties. 

My pizzas were healthier, but you can also do pepperoni, bacon, sausage, margherita etc. 

For the dough you will need Rhodes Rolls (the thaw, rise, and bake kind, 12 count). 

Turkey Meatloaf

Everyone needs a good meatloaf recipe. There's nothing better than some comfort food, especially once winter rolls around. What if you could have the comfort without all the guilt that usually follows? With this recipe you can. 
Using lean ground turkey instead of beef saves immensely on calories and is better for you. Also, kicking it up a notch with jalapenos and cayenne pepper will boost your metabolism. Not to mention the Panko bread crumb topping that offers the satisfactory crunch without all of the calories of regular bread crumbs. 

Cheddar and Herb Chicken Burgers

 

So do you ever crave a burger but don't feel like splurging the calories for some fatty beef?

Look no further. I promise this chicken burger is a winning recipe. I made it for my boyfriend and he ate two...and he's a big fan of beef burgers. He kept complaining about me using chicken, but he ended up liking them a lot. Go figure.

 

 

What you'll need:

1 lb Ground Chicken

3/4 Cup chopped and sautéed onion

1 Cup Spinach

1/2 Cup Cilantro

2 Garlic Cloves

1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

1 Teaspoon Seasoning Salt (Lawry's)

1 Teaspoon Black Pepper

1/2 Teaspoon  Cayenne Pepper (optional)

 

Corn Flake Chicken

That trusty old recipe from Kellogg's with crunchy corn flakes on your chicken...just got better.
A coat of flour and some extra spices to kick that recipe up a notch.

You will need three bowls of ingredients, 6 Chicken breasts, and 1/2 stick of butter melted.

Veggie Lasagna

This Lasagna is a little messy, but very delicious. It's made with Zucchini slices instead of pasta. You can use just vegetables, ground turkey, or ground beef. In this recipe, I used lean ground turkey.
I also used a square Pyrex dish, since it's the perfect size for the zucchini.

Margherita White Pizza Roll Ups

 

 

I had Homeslice Pizza a couple of weeks ago and thought, hmm maybe I should use this Pillsbury crust I have and make a Margherita Pizza. Even better make pizza roll ups that are easier to share and are great leftover. These can be made with all mozzarella cheese or, like I did, you can mix cheeses. This is a white pizza, so there isn't sauce. Although I created an Italian herb sauce that's pretty darn delicious. This recipe was completely trial and error, but it turned out fantastic and I will definitely make it again. Super easy!
*Note, I would roll out the pizza dough more than I did, it fluffs up quite a bit when you bake it. You can also make miniature roll ups by cutting the dough vertically in half then slicing 6 horizontal rows. This would make 12 roll ups instead of 6.

Servings: 6

Italian Herb Pasta

Pick your pasta- I like to use a mixture of whole grain, but you can also use one type. This sauce is super easy to throw together and amazingly tasty, but not too heavy.
*This recipe should make 4 servings (If you're like me 3 servings for my boyfriend and 1 for me).

Spaghetti and Meatballs with Sautéed Veggies

Salmon Croquettes

This is a recipe that brings back childhood memories...for the kid that would not eat salmon any other way but this way. Now, I love it, but back then my mom would make salmon croquettes to satisfy the taste buds. Overtime I have tweaked the recipe a bit.
