Healing chicken soup

Christmas came and went, but so did my family's health 😢 both dave & Jaedyn got a nasty cold right after Christmas. I've felt so bad for both of them. I asked dave what he wanted for dinner one night & he said chicken soup. I was going to make an easy chicken & vegetable soup I've done a lot until I stumbled on this healing soup. I decided this was what we needed since we were on day 5 of being sick. Not sure if this really worked or not but the next day, dave was feeling a lot better then he had. So I'll definitely make this again the next time someone gets the flu. I did double the recipe, used coconut aminos instead of fish oil, and added zucchini noodles.

Taco shepherds pie

I know I made that tex mex casserole a week or so ago but this recipe tasted completely different. For one it has mashed sweet potatoes on top instead of shredded and it also doesn't have parsnips in it & the seasonings are a bit different. Either way it was still really good and really easy to make.

Slow cooker chicken & bacon

Can I just tell you how much I love my crockpot? Whoever invented it is a genius. Have I also ever told you how much I love easy recipes? Well I do and this one couldn't be any easier.  Put chicken in the crockpot. Top with olive oil and seasonings. Then put in the bacon and you are ready to go. It's that easy. I'm warning you now that this will make your house smell so good that you better be gone most of the day otherwise you'll be salivating for a long time. Lol. 

I served this with cauliflower rice and wrapped in lettuce bibs. Then I also had steamed snap peas & green beans on the side.

Asian "peanut" sauce noodle bowl

Yum yum YUM!!! This sauce is to die for. I'm glad I made extra to put on my steamed veggies for later in the week. 😃

If you like peanut type sauces then make this recipe and double the sauce so you can have leftovers like me :)

Crockpot zucchini lasagna

Oh my. This was the best lasagna I've had since I stopped eating grains. The sauce is made from the yellow squash, onions, and coconut milk. You wouldn't think it would be cheesy but it was. I did top mine with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. My only complaint of this recipe is when you have to ladle out the liquid from the zucchini and put it in a saucepan to thicken it up. Really I'm just lazy and Iike it when I can just come home from work and everything for dinner is all done in the crockpot. But this step isn't hard and doesn't take long and is definitely worth it. Anyway. You should make this now 😃 it's that good.

Tex mex casserole

I know I haven't posted lately. I've been lazy and have been doing a lot of things I've posted already on here 😜 but I'm finally sick of seeing all these web browsers open with recipes, so I'm going to get my favorites posted :) 

This casserole was really easy & super tasty & comforting. The sweet potatoes in this dish really help bring the heat of my taco seasoning down. Plus the parsnips give it a different but tasty flavor from my other casseroles. I highly suggest making this and using the parsnips:)

Ground beef coconut curry

Tonight I was craving curry as well as beef. I needed something easy and fast because I had planned a mommy daughter day for the afternoon. I stumbled upon this recipe and not only was it quick & easy. It tasted amazing. I added about a heaping 1/8tsp of red pepper so it had a little heat but not too much for Jaedyn. Although I did put a little sour cream in hers just in case. The flavors of this is so amazing. I thought when I was stirring the spices in the bowl before adding it to the meat that it would be to overpowering but it wasn't at all. Definitely a keeper for me.
