Cheesesteak Lettuce Cups Recipe

Kristen — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 22:36:03 +0000

Cheesesteak Lettuce Cups are a lower carb way to still enjoy your favorite cheesesteak. This recipe is made especially delicious thanks to Certified Angus Beef® Brand ribeye steaks. This post is sponsored by the Certified Angus Beef® brand in conjunction with Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own.

People are so passionate about their cheesesteaks, aren’t they? I’m not about to call these Philly Cheesesteak Lettuce Cups. The last thing I want to do is offend someone by not making an authentic Philly style cheesesteak. Besides, the only time I’ve had a cheesesteak in Philly was about 17 years ago. I remember there being cheese sauce instead of regular cheese. Is that authentic? What makes cheesesteaks authentic Philly cheesesteaks? I really have no idea, to be honest….

Weight Watchers Recipe One-Pan Orecchiette with Sausage

Kristen — Sun, 29 Oct 2017 22:30:00 +0000

A simple and satisfying Weight Watchers recipe.

I wonder if I searched Dine & Dish, how many times over the past 11 years I have mentioned joining weight watchers? I’m guessing at least 5. Here I am again, admitting that I’ve joined Weight Watchers. Over the past couple of years I’ve lost 35 pounds, then gained 45. Now I am desperate to stop this darn cycle of struggling with my weight.

I lost the 35 pounds by being on an incredibly restrictive, low calorie, low carb, high protein diet. After losing the weight (and my hair – wierd) and reaching my goal, I realized that although the weight loss wasn’t all that hard to do, sticking with that restrictive of a diet for the rest of my life was not feasible. I missed wine. And bread. So in typical Kristen all or nothing fashion (remember me talking about that before?), I went full on the opposite plan, and gained all the weight I lost and more. Ugh….

Budget Friendly Korean Beef and Rice Recipe

Kristen — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 19:04:00 +0000

A simple, budget friendly meal with big budget taste! You’ll love this Korean Beef and Rice recipe.

My friend Aggie and I have been on a bit of a savings spree (after too many spending sprees). We’re getting a lot of joy out of texting each other with updates on our what we’re saving money on each day. “I cancelled my house cleaners and am saving $300 a month!”. “I cancelled my gym membership and am saving $90 a month!”. “I finally cancelled that ABC Mouse subscription that my kids haven’t used in 5 years.” (I wish I was kidding on that one… why do they make it so difficult to cancel ABC Mouse?).

It’s motivating to have a partner in crime when trying to save money, isn’t it? In fact, each time she texts me something she’s saving on, I start looking to see what the next thing is I can save money on. …

Sriracha Lime Salmon Packets Recipe

Kristen — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:06:16 +0000

Sriracha Lime Salmon Packets are ideal for a simple Lenten meal.

Happy March, everyone! This year is flying by so fast, I simply can’t believe it.

Today also marks the first day of the 2017 Lenten season. I’ve decided I’m not giving anything up this year for Lent…instead I’m going to focus on doing things to get my life on track some. First things first, starting with clutter. I’m participating in the 40 Bags in 40 Days Challenge, and am so ready to get some of the excess in my house out of here. Through this challenge you simply fill any size bag each day of trash or things to donate and continue for the entire 40 days. Can you imagine how much more free I’ll feel after getting rid of 40 bags of clutter? I’m really ready to simplify, and this challenge will definitely help me to do that!…

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Recipe from Skinnytaste

Kristen — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 15:08:57 +0000

It doesn’t get much easier than this Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken recipe from the Skinnytaste Fast and Slow Cookbook!

Every single time I use my slow cooker I wonder why I don’t pull it out more often. The Slow Cooker is seriously one of the best inventions on the planet for busy people like you and me. Why oh why don’t I use it all the time instead of pulling it out just here and there?

When I do pull it out and cook with it, I feel so accomplished that I have dinner planned and and on its way to ready before even breakfast is over. I love things that make me feel like I have my act together!…

Soy Honey Chicken Thighs Recipe with Lemon Broccoli

Kristen — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 02:22:31 +0000

Soy Honey Chicken Thighs with Lemon Broccoli – a fresh and flavorful meal!

For the past 3 years, I’ve spent the early hours of my Sunday morning drinking my coffee and reading the New York Times newspaper. It’s been a ritual I look forward to all week, but this week was different.

I’ve been paying for the weekend delivery of my newspaper but for some reason, the Saturday edition of the newspaper has failed to be delivered for several months. Finally, after numerous calls to customer service and their many attempts at “making it right” I realized I was spending more time on the phone with the NY Times than it was worth, so I cancelled my subscription all together. This was the first Sunday without my newspaper, and it was just not the same. Sadface….

15 Minute Sweet Chipotle Chicken Bites Recipe

Kristen — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 22:22:42 +0000

Ready in around 15 minutes, these sweet Chipotle Chicken Bites are a simple favorite recipe from The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook by Mary Younkin.

I’ve been keeping something from you… I’ve been cooking from a cookbook I received a couple months ago so regularly that I’ve almost forgotten how to cook without it!

Mary Younkin, from the food blog Barefeet in the Kitchen, has written the most amazing and practical cookbook for busy families called The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook. This cookbook is so practical I’ve turned to it when I’m in a dinner time pinch so many times, but have failed to take the time and photograph any of the meals we’ve made, until now. …
