Published 10/29/2018 • Updated 12/7/2023 Say hello to sweet potato latkes with a Fit Foodie twist! These cheddar sweet potato hash browns have the same great flavors we love about latkes but instead of frying them on the stove, we form the sweet potato mixture into patties and bake until golden brown in the oven. When testing this recipe, we had the best success when we 1) used a cheese grater to shred the sweet potatoes and 2) squeezed as much moisture out of the patties when shaping them....

New fall side dish obsession alert! Apple Almond Quinoa with Maple Sausage is a riff on a Whole Foods hot bar side dish I spotted earlier this year that’s a cinch to whip up at home, and packed with crispy, crunchy textures and delicious flavors. No matter the time of year, this little quinoa salad will be a hit! Whole Foods’ combination of apple, dried cranberries, almonds, quinoa, green onions, with my addition of maple sausage, is SO FALL, that I can hardly even stand it....

Sure, I run 4+ miles several times a week, and can bust out some modified pushups with the best of ’em, but if my short, 1 year softball career as a 10 year old which ended with me barfing up mambas outside of the dugout after striking out for the nth time, or my awesome ability to just hang from the pull up bar in gym class tells you anything, my calling is more in the kitchen than the athletic field....

Published 2/25/2024 Sometimes your morning coffee needs a companion, and this easy carrot coffee cake has been a go-to for me lately. The kids love it (almost as much as I do!), and we devour it in no time. Just make your streusel topping, combine your wet and dry ingredients, assemble, and bake!

Maybe it’s a Midwestern thing, or possibly a German heritage thing, but one of my favorite foods is bratwurst. I grew up eating them weekly in the summertime, and will never forget the near foot long grilled brat my host family served me in Germany when I was staying in the country as a teenager for a choir trip. Snappy, sizzling, savory — SO DELICIOUS! Since my grill is currently buried under 4 inches of snow, I decided to squash a bratwurst craving with homemade Cheddar Bratwurst Meatballs complete with 3 homemade dipping sauces....

My husband gifted me an Apple Watch for my birthday earlier this summer and I am HOOKED. If you’re looking for inspiration to get off your butt and get moving, this watch will definitely do it. Let’s just say I haven’t been moving as much as I thought I have, which has motivated me to up my workout game. That said, I feel zero guilt downing a second helping of Cheesy Gnocchi Florentine, aka a decadent, 30 minute gluten free dinner recipe that’s made entirely in just 1 skillet....

Like many families, we LOVE taco night at our house — however, my kids are still in the more-filling-lands-on-the-floor-than-in-their-mouth stage of eating tacos. Pro tip: sweep the floor the day after dinner when the ground beef and rice have hardened and are easy to clean up. Follow me for random parenting advice. Anyway, problem solved with Cheesy Taco Soup which dishes up all the irresistible flavor of a loaded beef taco in a cheesy, hearty, totally satisfying soup format!...

Published 2/7/2021 We Love One Pot Meals! There is something so deeply satisfying about cooking something super delicious and only using ONE dish. This creamy tuscan chicken and gnocchi is just that! You prepare the chicken and veggies in a skillet on the stovetop, and then combine everything together and bake to perfection in the oven — in the same skillet. And just like that, your one pot delicious dinner is served!...

I was sitting at the kitchen table hammering out emails the other day when I realized I’d been hunched over my computer screen for at least an hour in a laser-focused state of concentration. Ouch! I sat back, stretched my arms up as high as they would go, then inhaled deeply. That’s when it hit me. Oh my gosh, I whispered. What is that smell? That savory, luscious smell? Are the neighbors cooking?...

Ready or not, fall is coming, and with it brings more easy, weeknight-friendly recipes like my Crock Pot Cheeseburger Fries with Special Sauce. Say goodbye to boring burgers and fries (and the drive-thru!) and hello to this ridiculously tasty mash up! Crock Pot Ground Beef These loaded fries highlight my homemade Crock Pot Maid Rites recipe, which is a famous Iowa dish of browned ground meat served on a bun topped with cold ketchup and dill pickles....

Crock Pot Mojo Pork with Cuban-Style Black Beans is one of my favorite crock pot recipes to date! Pork shoulder is slow cooked in a trio of citrus including orange, lemon, and lime juice then spiked with onion, fresh jalapeno, herbs, spices, and a whole head of garlic. GARLIC LOVERS UNITE! Ahem. This recipe also falls into the “throw stuff into a pot and cook it” category, which I’m obviously fangirling these days (I’m looking at you, Crock Pot Chicken and Wild Rice Soup)....

Published 8/29/2023 • Updated 3/17/2024 Lasagna gets a bad rap for being a time-consuming dinner recipe that, though delicious, has too many steps to make for a quick meal during the week.

It is absolutely gorgeous out here and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. It’s been clear blue skies for two days, and the high yesterday was 57 degrees. Take that, freezing cold tundra that is Iowa! ;) We arrived via plane Saturday morning and were absolutely giddy to see the mountains in the distance as we drove into town! We’re staying at my little brother’s apartment in downtown Denver – an absolute perfect location to walk to all the hustle & bustle, and entertainment that Denver has to offer....
