“I love being at home and creating in the kitchen.” -Chrissy Teigen
I love me some Chrissy Tiegen and I love me some food (any food really), so I love that I can combine two of my obsessions with Chrissy’s new cookbook. Cravings is AMAZE and today I’m sharing three of the recipes I’ve tried already- honey chipotle chicken, spaghetti cacio e pepe and cauliflower orzo salad. If you haven’t gotten this book already you seriously need to now!

“Spring is here! Welcome all new beginnings.” -Unknown
Growing up, no matter the holiday, my mom would always come up with fun, festive recipes for her and I to make. These edible Easter nests were a spring staple in our house! Not only are they yummy, they’re easy and kid friendly too!

I’ve told you my New Year’s resolution is to lose 15 pounds before my best friend’s wedding in August. I’m down 5 pounds already and I attribute most of my weight loss to eating healthy!
I’m not the type of person who could live off grilled chicken breasts and steamed broccoli. I’m lose my mind after about 1 day and end up eating Grimaldi’s out of all their pizza. I’ve found I’m most successful at losing weight when I eat “real food” just made healthier.
This cauliflower fried rice recipe is just that. You feel like you’re eating something naughty, but in reality you’re basically just eating veggies and scrambled eggs. So healthy! Even Walker loved this recipe!

“Netflix and Chili” -Unknown
Today is National Chili Day so in honor of the holiday I’m sharing two of my favorite chili recipes with you. Chili is always a crowd pleaser and its an easy dish you don’t have to watch closely or slave over for hours in the kitchen. If you can use a can opener and brown ground meat them you’re going to be a pro at making chili.

“The secret ingredient is always cheese.” -Marc Johns
I know I always tell you my recipes are “so easy” or “so simple”. But I really think this one takes the easy-peasy cake. By themselves as an appetizer or on top of a salad these goat cheese purses are beyond amazing. And did I mention easy?

Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, which means calories don’t count the entire day! Right?
This recipe is beyond easy and really feels like a decadent cheat meal. Because it’s so simple it’s a great week night meal but its straight from mom’s kitchen taste will leave you feeling like someone must have slaved away in the kitchen for hours. In reality- you’ll be done making dinner before your wine is even completely chilled!
and because cooking is more fun when you look cute:
