Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time on a turkey farm in northwest Iowa then later that afternoon the farmer invited me over for a turkey feast with his family. Among the dishes we devoured was Easy Salsa Turkey Meatloaf, and it. Was. Divine. The meatloaf was the first thing I smelled after walking into their kitchen prompting me to immediately ask for the recipe. I was pumped to learn it couldn’t be easier to make so I gave it an IGE spin and came up with Mini Salsa Turkey Meatloaves to share with you!...

Published 11/4/2024 I’m always looking for ways to make chicken thighs that much better. Chicken can get BORING, and I’m guilty of sticking to the same seasoning formula for the sake of convenience. But with these miso marinated chicken thighs, you get both convenience AND exciting new flavors. It’s a win-win! All you need to do is marinate the chicken for at least an hour and sear it in a skillet for about 4 minutes on each side....

Published 11/9/2024 My Nana Mabel has brought these carmelita bars to every family occasion I can remember, and they are always a hit at gatherings and potlucks. She would even carry on a Tupperware of perfectly stacked carmelitas and fly to family gatherings — they’re truly one of the most nostalgic desserts for me and my family ❤️ . Even though she has since passed away, you’ll never be at one of our family Thanksgivings, Christmases, birthdays — you name it — where someone has continued the tradition and brought a batch of carmelitas....

Published 8/9/2024 Shredded coconut and coconut oil infuse the white cake with a sweet and nutty flavor while caramelizing the pineapple mellows out its natural tartness. Pair that with the brown sugar and almond extract for a delightful summertime treat. These cupcakes are SO yummy 😍 While you’re probably used to seeing this as a sheet cake (peep our Upside Down Peach Cake!), I LOVE the way it looks like cupcakes with a chunk of pineapple crowning each one!...

Adding roasted pumpkin to the quinoa salad gives a totally unique flavor. It works as a perfect side for Thanksgiving dinner. Plus a little twitch in ingredients, this salad can be enjoyed all season long. My husband loves pomegranates. My kitchen was filled with pomegranates during this time, which is why I used this delicious fruit in my quinoa salad. It just elevated the flavors to the next level. If you feel the same, then also try my Pomegranate Rice Pilaf....

I don’t know about you but I could eat a salad every single day of my life, and Santorini Salad with Cucumber-Basil Yogurt Dressing is one of the best! The combination of crunchy romaine lettuce, crispy baked garbanzo beans, fresh tomatoes, tangy feta cheese and sauteed lemon shrimp drizzled with a killer Cucumber-Basil Yogurt Dressing is one for the books. I usually forgo creamy dressings in favor of vinaigrette, but this cooling Greek-yogurt number is divine!...

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary – woohoo! Usually we usually head somewhere fun and new to us to celebrate, though this year we stuck around home since we just recently whooped it up in Puerto Vallarta with friends. Of course we had a blast in Mexico, but staying home for spring break means we’ve had major vacation envy after seeing all our friends post vacation photos on social media over the past few weeks....

One of husband’s and my favorite dinnertime games is playing GTI (guess the ingredients), where whoever has cooked the meal makes the other one try and guess all the ingredients in the dish. It’s fun you should try it. Anyway, a component of the recipe for Shepherd’s Pie with Mashed Potatoes I recently made is his #1 all-time favorite food ever — mashed potatoes. That said, I added a little somethin’ somthin’ to them and wanted to see if he could sniff it out....

Published 8/8/2024 • Updated 11/10/2024 This ground beef recipe is a Fit Foodie reader favorite and also one we make in our own kitchens on repeat. We love how veggie-packed it is and it’s also high in protein (27g/serving) thanks to ground beef and beans. I personally love serving this nacho-style with tortilla chips, but it’s quite tasty eaten out of a bowl, too! Looking for healthy ground beef recipes?...

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I finally got into meal planning after Cameron came along. It’s just entirely impossible to come up with a dish on the fly at 4:30pm when you’ve got a sweet toddler asking you to “watch this!” every 15 seconds and an infant with a will he/won’t he late afternoon nap schedule. Truly, taking a little bit of time to plan out what we’re going to have each night of the week, even it it’s just to pencil in “leftovers!...
