Hello, everyone. I hope your holiday season is going well. Things have been crazy over here, but I just finished submitting final grades for the fall semester, so I will have a little room to breathe over the next couple weeks.

Low-Carb Fajita-Style Shrimp & Cauliflower Rice!
I have been moving non-stop today, and I finally took a moment to sit down and blog about the dinner I just made. The weather in Chicago was absolutely beautiful today. I got out of work at 5 and put my roller blades on and skated for 4 miles. Then, I walked Oliver for 1 … Continue reading Low-Carb Fajita-Style Shrimp & Cauliflower Rice!
Mushroom & Spinach Flautas!
I have always loved flautas, and I've experimented with different kinds many times. I've been running around all week and the last thing I wanted to do was stop at another store to pick up more ingredients. I remembered that I had tortillas and vegetables at home and thought that filling the tortillas with a … Continue reading Mushroom & Spinach Flautas!
Jalapeño Popper Chicken
I can barely believe there was a time that I didn't think I liked jalapeño poppers, but I'll never go back again! Growing up, I was not into snacks or meals with savory cream cheese. If it wasn't in a cheesecake, I didn't want it. Now, I'm a fan of the seemingly endless things you … Continue reading Jalapeño Popper Chicken

The citrus juice adds a tangy kick to the fajitas. I adapted this recipe from my mom. Moms always make everything better, but … Continue reading Citrus Chicken Fajitas!

One of my favorite ways to hide vegetables is in chili! You can pack in a ton of things you might not ordinarily think to put in a basic chili, and the seasonings are so flavorful that the vegetables just add extra texture. Although I change this up often, last night I used: Ground chicken … Continue reading Chicken & Vegetable Chili
Grocery Haul & the Weekend
Sunday always comes way too fast. Working full-time and taking on multiple jobs while trying to stay fit and remain sane can be truly exhausting. I try to take each day as it comes and not just live for the weekends, but they're definitely my favorite part of the week! On Sundays, I usually try … Continue reading Grocery Haul & the Weekend
Shrimp Quesadillas!
Happy Friday! It feels like it took forever to get here, but I'm finally at home with a Toasted Marshmallow candle from Bath & Body Works going in the background and my twinkle lights setting a soft glow for a cozy writing setting. I started my weekend off with an evening workout. I stopped at … Continue reading Shrimp Quesadillas!
Grocery Haul!
As a practicing chef (and someone who tries to hit the right macros), grocery shopping is actually exciting for me! I know a lot of people dread it, and there are definitely times that I'd rather not go, but there's always something sort of cleansing and ritualistic about it. It helps me feel like I'm … Continue reading Grocery Haul!
