During hard times, sometimes you just need some good old-fashioned comfort food. I mean… this soup isn’t really old-fashioned, but Chicken Cordon Bleu is an older dish. Today I decided to give Chicken Cordon Bleu a bit of a twist and turned it into the soup. Yep, that’s right… everything you love about Chicken Cordon Bleu in a pot of soup. Right down to the dijon!…

Let’s face it, we’re all suddenly a lot more influenced by a ‘beans and rice’ diet. Pantry cooking can be tricky, but it can also save time, money, and still be pretty damn healthy for you. This Chickpea Tikka Masala is a one pot dish that cooks up in just about 30 minutes. It’s gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian. Plus, like I said, one pan to cook it all means less mess to clean up in the end.
Chickpeas are a favorite among my family as it is. Seriously… there’s a few of us that would eat the things straight of the can if someone would let us. So, I try to use them as much as I can. And they work out really well in vegetarian dishes…
Read MoreShepherd's Pie Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes
Sometimes it’s okay to play with your food. I for one, love to play with mine. I like to put fun twists on classics. Shepherd’s pie is one of my family favorites, especially as we roll into March and get in closer to St. Patricks’s Day. These Shepherd's Pie Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes are based on a couple of my favorite traditional recipes that were merged together.
I would say these potatoes are a cross between a loaded baked potato, twice baked potatoes, and overstuffed potato skins. One serving is plenty filling and it’s a really fun way to enjoy your very own individual shepherds pie…
Read MoreVegetarian Shepherd's Pie
Being as I’m a Irish girl, leading into the month of March is one of my favorite times of year. The weather usually starts warming up and I get to play around a lot more with Irish staples! Shepherd’s Pie is a staple Irish meal and I’ve made it a few different times in a few different ways. I’ve got to say though… I think this vegetarian one is now probably my favorite version.
That is no lie. This Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie is loaded with flavor and plenty of fresh vegetables. I even used fresh peas! No canned or frozen veggies here. Not today…

Weeknights are tough, and they only seem to get more difficult as we get in closer to the holidays. That’s why I like to stick with quick and easy weeknight dinners. These Tex-Mex Lasagna Roll-Ups are a fun twist on a modern Italian classic; lasagna roll-ups!
I’ve taken lasagna roll-ups and given them a Tex-Mex kick. I guess you could call it Tex-Italia! I loosely got the idea for this fun dish off of one that my mom makes which is called ‘Cowboy Spaghetti’. I took this dish a little more Tex-Mex though with the addition of beans and taco meat to all be rolled up in lasagna noodles. They’re basically a Tex-Mex taco in lasagna form…
Zucchini Taco Skillet
Sometimes on Taco Tuesday, you just want to try something a little more outside of the box. This Zucchini Taco Skillet is not only delicious, but it’s a one pot wonder and about as guilt free as you can get in the taco department.
This taco skillet starts off with ground beef and some onions. Pretty standard stuff. Then there’s tomatoes, black beans, zucchini, and of course cheese! Plenty of cheese to go around too! For being such a quick and easy dish, it is absolutely packed with flavor…
