Published 11/3/2023 • Updated 11/5/2024 We first posted this bacon wrapped Brussels sprouts recipe back in 2018 and we’ve since revamped it to make them even easier to prepare + we added an aioli dipping sauce. Made with just 2 ingredients (it’s all in the name), this is our go-to appetizer for pretty much any holiday get-together. The rundown: simply slice 10 pieces of thick-cut bacon in half and then wrap each brussels sprout with the bacon....

The number one thing you need to know about bone-in, skin-on Baked Chicken Thighs is that my family SMASHES them anytime I serve them for dinner. Plates are licked clean, complaints are non-existent, plus they require 5 minutes of prep time and bake hands-off in the oven which I of course love. This easy baked chicken recipe is the unicorn of chicken dinners! Watch How to Make Them Ingredients Needed I love this meal because it is SO SIMPLE....

Recently I asked my Facebook friends what kind of recipes they were looking for right now and the resounding answer was — of all things — dips! Healthier dips, to be exact. Ask and you shall receive. Black Bean and Sweet Corn Guacamole Dip is a healthier dip recipe that tastes anything but — it is EXPLODING with bold, zesty flavor! It reminds me of the 7-layer dip of yesteryear, all glowed up....

Published 3/8/2022 Blood Oranges = Gorgeous Cocktail Blood orange has to be one of the most beautiful fruits on this earth and we’re excited to share a simple blood orange cocktail. You love our Blood Orange Margarita (I mean, look how gorgeous it is) and this cocktail is going to be just as good. It uses similar ingredients, but a different booze and no lime. We love how sweet blood oranges are and how beautiful make they your cocktails look....

Published 9/13/2023 Say hello to the broccoli cheese soup of your dreams! This broccoli cauliflower cheese soup is a wholesome version of classic broccoli cheddar soup. It’s simultaneously ultra cheesy and creamy, yet nourishing and nutrient dense. We were hoping for a “lighter” cheese soup and that’s where the veggies came to play. We also had both broccoli and cauliflower in the fridge needing to be used and thus broccoli cauliflower cheese soup was born....

Published 5/8/2023 • Updated 11/5/2024 Ultimate Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies IMO, there is nothing better than a good, hearty oatmeal cookie. I eat them for dessert, I eat them for breakfast, and I eat them for snacks. Heck, I always have a bag of cookies in my freezer for emergencies. These butterscotch oatmeal cookies are made with brown butter and there is no flour involved! These are a spin-off of our famous peanut butter oatmeal cookies but are made with a milder nut butter –> almond butter....

Published 10/20/2023 • Updated 11/5/2024 You guys know we are cheese lovers (Hello, sister site Cheese Knees!). Well, we’re also butternut squash lovers which is why this butternut squash mac and cheese was a no-brainer for Fit Foodie Finds! When testing this recipe, we tried it with steamed butternut squash and roasted butternut squash, and roasted was hands-down more flavorful. The addition of garlic and onion is essential for that bold, hearty flavor you love....

Is it strange to be more excited about the recipes you can make with holiday leftovers than you are about the holiday meal itself? Not when Cheesy Ham and Potato Soup is waiting to be made! I developed the recipe for this luscious, cheesy soup to utilize leftover holiday ham and mashed potatoes, but it’s so incredibly delicious that I will not be waiting for another holiday to make it again....

Published 9/5/2023 Cottage cheese is a high-protein, miracle cheese that we just can’t get enough of.

Obsessed with cottage cheese recipes? These cottage cheese pancakes, protein mac and cheese, cookies and cream cottage cheese bark, and cottage cheese ice cream are tasty recipes that are high in protein....

Published 11/15/2020 • Updated 11/13/2023 Made with protein-packed Greek yogurt, tangy cream cheese, a crunchy graham cracker crust, and tart cranberry swirl, these Greek yogurt cheesecake bites are the ultimate holiday dessert. Similar to all of our cheesecake-inspired recipes (like these pumpkin cheesecake bars and these lemon cheesecake bites), we replace part of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt. It’s an easy swap that adds a little extra protein. The crust and the cream cheese filling are both made in the food processor for easy prep and cleanup, and the cranberry swirl adds a festive flair to this refreshing dessert....

You know the ones. They come in mouthwatering flavors like Creamy Chicken (a personal favorite of mine in college,) Butter & Herb (yes and yes), and Broccoli Cheddar (everybody’s favorite,) and are like, $.88 a packet. You can’t beat that with a stick! What I’d like to beat with a stick, however, is the ingredient list and nutritional information that comes along with these unfortunately delicious side dishes. Let’s just say, there are healthier options – like making it yourself!...

Like many families, Friday night is pizza night at our house. But maybe unlike other families, our pizza order is a bit…complicated. I need a gluten-free crust on account of my Celiac Disease, Gwen needs a vegan crust and vegan cheese because she’s allergic to eggs and dairy, while the boys are happiest with regular crust and cheese. That said, what’s supposed to be a fun and easy dinner to look forward at the end of a busy week, can sometimes feel like more trouble than it’s worth....

One of my favorite cuts of meat to feed my family is pork tenderloin. Not only is it inexpensive and versatile, but pork tenderloin truly rivals filet mignon in the fork-tender department, especially when grilled. That said, Grilled Pork Tenderloin is a slam dunk, home run — what other sports analogies can I throw out there — touchdown (!!) in the unbelievably juicy and delicious department. Best of all, this pork tenderloin recipe is FOOL PROOF and cooks in less than 15 minutes....

Ground beef tacos, chicken tacos, fish tacos, vegan taco! If it’s a taco, we’ll eat it!...

Hey, hey, happy Monday! How was your weekend? It feels like ours was over in the blink of an eye, but I got some work done, made the CUTEST homemade Valentine’s Day cards for Lincoln’s class with a crafty friend (just carved a design into a styrofoam plate then painted over it and pressed a 5×7 piece of paper on top – adorbs) and spent Sunday at my parent’s house hanging out and watching the Super Bowl....
