Garlic Chips
Turkey Lettuce Wraps
I know what you're thinking. Turkey? Lettuce? But trust me, healthy and amazing! This coming from the girl who loves her carbs! A family favorite, kid approved. Served with a side of brown rice (you can find the recipe on the blog), you too will be adding turkey lettuce wraps to your meal rotation. A little sweet, a touch spicy and a crisp, crunch from water chestnuts, these asian inspired tacos don't disappoint in the flavor department. You won't even notice you're missing the shell. FYI: This recipe feeds a small army. See notes for a smaller portion.

Chicken Chowder
Like clam chowder, but chicken. Instead of potatoes, wild rice. Thick and hearty, this is one of those meals that your tummy says full, but your mouth says MORE. To make week night meals even easier, I'll precook bacon and keep it in the fridge for easy access with recipes, and purchase a whole rotisserie chicken already pulled off the bone and prepackaged from Costco. Those two shortcuts make this soup a winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Ina’s Pot roast
No, not Ina garten, but my Ina. Kari, my good friend, that I have lovingly nicknamed Ina, due to her amazing culinary skills. I usually don't like pot roast, but had one bite of her recipe, and it was a game changer. Balsamic, honey, garlic and other goodies and oh my, taste bud heaven. Fantastic as leftovers, reprurposed into a roast beef sandwich, toasted with provolone.
Garlic Bread Croutons
Leftover garlic bread? Great! Fresh garlic bread? Great! That’s the beauty of this recipe. Repurpose leftover garlic bread, or start fresh. My kids actually asked me never to buy store bought croutons again. Light, not too crunchy, and full of fresh flavor.
