These amazing farm raised local pork chops come from our favorite local Farm, Rustic Road Farm in Elburn IL. I guarantee you will love this recipe and be sure to make the sauce. It is everything!

My friend Keith ( local business owner and avid fisherman ) brought me some amazing walleye filets. This recipe made these filets some of the best fish I have ever eaten. Enjoy!

This chili paste is a game changer for soups, tacos, salsas, and marinades. It is so simple to make and adds such an intense depth of flavor you will love!

I finally did it! I made a chia pudding recipe I truly love. Completely plant based, vegan friendly, zero refined sugars, and it’s so easy!! Enjoy!

My plant based protein bites… or balls. Whatever you want to call them. Pop 4 or 5 of these guys for a quick nutritious and delicious lunch or snack on the go. Perfect for a busy lifestyle where eating healthy can sometimes be easier said than done. Enjoy!

So this was kind of a smattering of whatever ingredients I could find in the kitchen. A happy accident if you will as all the flavors worked brilliantly toghether to creat a delicious and versatile chicken dish.

So brussel sprouts and I have a bit of a checkered past. I had always had them either steamed or boiled, and lovingly referred to the flavor as “cabbage farts”. I am happy to say this recipe is far from fart flavored.

These crispy crunch flavor bursting baked chicken tenders are a HUGE hit in our house! The unmistakable crunch factor makes them the perfect addition to a chopped salad or the ultimate dipping tender in your favorite sauce. Enjoy!

If I had to build a boat to sail around the world. I would build a spaghetti squash boat! That way I could see the wonders of the world and never go hungry… You can do anything with them! These Cajun boats definitely left an impression. I’ve been dreaming about them!

So… we are not vegans, but I have always had a lot of respect for vegan cooking. These crab cakes are one of those vegan recipes everyone can love and appreciate. So tasty and so good for you. We all fell in love with these and we hope you do also.

These high protein low sugar oat bars make the perfect breakfast alternative or midday snack! You will fall in love for sure. I do recommend eating them chilled as they have a great crunch factor and the cottage cheese acts like ice cream.

Easily one of my families favorite home baked recipes. This banana bread is gluten free and easily made vegan by simply substituting a flax egg for the eggs. Enjoy!

So we were all pretty sick recently and this Veggie Soup was a life saver! Packed full of vitamins, nutrients and tons of flavor! Stay healthy and serve up a bowl of Dad’s Veggie Soup.

What could be better than a sugar cookie during the holidays?? I know! How about a candy cane coated sugar cookie!! It’s true… and my candy cane sugar cookies are so light and fluffy you’ll forget you’re eating sugar cookies all together. Bake, bite, dunk, devour, or all of the above, but most importantly have an amazing holiday!

This soup is a completely original recipe I created simply because my smoker was still burning after smoking a chicken and I was making potato leek soup. I thought… “what if I were to smoke these leeks??? could be interesting”. It was definitely a good decision, best flavored soup ever!!!

So I had never worked with this particular squash before this recipe, and it is definitely now one of my top favorites! This recipe is high in protein, low in sugar, and off the charts in delicious. Enjoy as a healthy and nutritious breakfast, dessert, or snack!

I was never a big fan of cottage cheese… No I’m not sure what I would do without it! These high protein, low sugar breakfast cookies will have you looking at breakfast in a whole new light. Enjoy!!

Squash squash squash!! Did you know the skin of a delicata squash is 100% edible?? and delicious! These chili roasted squash chips are so tasty and awesome. Savory, spicy squash is definitely the way to go!

Fall is here and that means… Squash Squash SQUASH!! Spaghetti squash has always been one of my favorites and the flavor in this recipe was a big hit in our house! Don’t forget the lemon! lemon definitely adds a lot to the flavor of these beautiful boats.
