Life has been so busy lately that I didn't even realize how long I haven't posted for! Here are a few recipes I have made recently that have been a hit! ENJOY!!
Greek Chicken Bowls
Preheat to 375
**I made white rice with these but you can also do them without ** Lettuce would be nice with these- I'll do that way next time!
I used chicken tenders. Marinate them for 30 min- in olive oil, lemon and lime juice, salt pepper basil. Bake them for 25-30 min or until done.
CHOP INTO CUBES: 2 zucchini 2 peppers, 1 small red onion
Add to a large skillet drizzle with olive oil salt and pepper and saute until done.
Assemble your bowl with rice, veggies. and the chicken
Then top with feta, olives and some Tzatziki (not shown)
Chocolate Chip Cookies... with BISQUICK?!
You will always make them this way now!! I had this recipe stashed away and brought it out when I hosted football Sunday!
I stick of butter (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup of packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 cups Bisquick
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Mix everything together in a bowl.... form cookies on sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until done. I like mine super soft so I cook mine for 15 min
One Pot Pasta with Ground Turkey
Olive oil
1 small onion
Minced garlic FRESH
1.5 lb Fresh tomatoes chopped
3 cups of low sodium chicken broth
Chopped Basil
8oz spaghetti
1lb ground turkey
Salt & Pepper (if you need it)
Cook your ground turkey first in a separate skillet and set aside. Season with salt pepper and onion powder
Heat up olive oil in your pot. Add the onion and garlic, saute until they start to brown. Add fresh chopped tomatoes, chicken broth, basil and pasta, and ground turkey ( I broke my spaghetti in half so it would fit in the skillet) Push the pasta down so its submerged in the liquid- cover and switch to medium low to cook for about 8 minutes or until the pasta reaches what you like! The liquid will go down a little bit so add a little bit more broth cover and cook for another couple of minutes.. then done! It was honestly amazing!
One Sheet Chicken Fajitas
Preheat oven to 400
Chicken Tenders
Any color peppers (3)
1 lg onion (I like the sweet onions)
Fajita seasoning
Slice peppers and onions and put on sprayed baking sheet. Place chicken tenders on there as well. Drizzle olive oil on everything and rub into everything. Sprinkle fajita seasoning all over chicken. You can put on the veggies too but I don't.
Grab your choice of wraps and toppings and there is your fajita!
Roasted Veggies with Mini Potatoes
1 small head of broccoli
2 Zucchinis
Sweet onion
2 peppers
2 summer squash
Bag of mini potatoes (I slice in half)
Cut up all veggies, place into big bowl and toss with olive oil and whatever spices you want! I personally like the good seasons Italian packet! Lots of flavor.. I only use about half! Bake 400 degrees for about 35 min- more if you like them a little crispy.
My Favorite Salad
It's a really fresh salad I love to make! It's full of veggies and very tasty! I will add chicken if I'm just having this! But it makes a great side!
Romaine Lettuce washed and chopped
Mix some spring mix in too!
Sauteed zucchini & red onion ( let cool a little before you top on salad)
Edamame (no shell)
Beets chopped
olives
Goat cheese (not pictured) but I add it.
Your choice of salad dressing (this is good with a vinaigrette or italian)
