Brrr! It is freezing outside!! Today was in the low 20’s and high winds. The sky was clear and beautiful, though! Right now I’m in Philadelphia. I’m officially on my last Thanksgiving Break from school, ever. EVER. How weird is that… DJ is originally from Philly, so I’m visiting for a long weekend before flying out to spend Thanksgiving with my dad & his family in California. The warm weather will be a nice change! Before I left, I wanted to use up the food I had, so this recipe was one where I threw ingredients together and crossed my fingers while hoping for the best. It worked out wonderfully! Don’t you just love it when that happens? :) You Need: *4 skinless chicken breasts *1 can of cream of mushroom soup *1 package of…

My house is covered in meatballs!!! It’s amazing how many you can make with a pound of ground turkey. Good thing these meatballs are so dang tasty! ;) Dj really loved these too… when asking him what I should call them he suggested, “uhh.. ‘Really Good Meatballs’?" I’m really picky when eating out, and generally stray away from bulky meats, such as meatloaf or meatballs. I just want to make sure there are no gross fillers, so making my own seems like the solution to my problem. :) You Need: *1 pound ground turkey (or chicken or beef) *1 egg *1 cup whole wheat seasoned bread crumbs *1 cup chopped onion *7 Tablespoons of Italian Seasoning* 2 Tablespoons black pepper * Simply mix all the ingredients together in a big bowl! Don’t be afraid…

This week we had our first real snow fall of the winter! I love the snow. It’s so beautiful! I’m not a big fan of the cold, but if it snows, I don’t think it’s that bad. :) My school is too pretty when it snows!  It also got me in the holiday cheer and I blasted Christmas music throughout my apartment… it’s never too early! :) I was having a craving for Mexican food (my all time favorite), but wasn’t craving all the fried grease that comes along with it! So, I decided to make a healthy spin off enchiladas. Yum! You need: *8 low-carb tortillas *1 can enchilada sauce *1 pound lean ground chicken breast *1 can of black beans (rinsed and drained) *1 can Rotel* 1 package low-sodium taco seasoning* Preheat…

Halloween weekend was a success! We had a bunch of old friends come in this weekend to visit, so my body is running on E today! Is going to sleep at 6:50 pm allowed for a 22 year old…? That’s my internal struggle right now ;). Being so low on energy, I whipped up something quick with things I already had in my fridge! I had left over cooked chicken breasts from a few days ago, and was being nostalgic over my trip to Greece a few summers ago, so I tried to pretend I was on the island by creating a Greek-inspired Grilled Chicken Wrap! Opa! This turned out really well and is one of my Go-To quick menu items! You need: *1 low-carb tortilla *1 grilled chicken breast (seasoned with garlic &…
