  • Potato and Leek Soup

    Potato and Leek Soup

    We love soup pretty much all year round, but right after the holidays we have them on our menu regularly. Soup is great on a cold day, easy to make, and an ideal option for a healthy meal when we have our hearts set on January resolutions. The crunchiness of the leeks combined with the…

  • Maple Dijon Salmon

    Maple Dijon Salmon

    This is the recipe that converted Tuck’s dad from straight up refusing to eat salmon to requesting it on the menu once a week. If you are looking to bring some of your picky eaters out of the dark and into the light when it comes to fish, this is your recipe. We love this…

  • Butternut Squash Bisque

    Butternut Squash Bisque

    We are the first to raise our hands and admit that packing in the veggies in the wintertime isn’t easy. Salads in the snow are a tough sell. Soup, however, is on the menu many days of the week. This recipe for Butternut Squash Bisque is one of our favorite healthy recipes that we make…

  • Beer Braised Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

    Beer Braised Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

    During the fall and winter months, it is so comforting at night to have a warm cooked meal on the table. The problem with that is we don’t always have the time to be in the kitchen for hours on the weeknight. This recipe helps bring both together by giving you a delicious meal that…

  • Semi-Homemade Vegan Burrito Bowls

    Semi-Homemade Vegan Burrito Bowls

    Tuck’s dad watched the documentary “Game Changers” on Netflix a few weeks ago and has been trying to eat vegan as much as possible since. Inspired by our usual Chipotle order, we made these tofu burrito bowls. We love the taste and texture of the tofu – it is loaded with spices and crumbled to…

  • Edamame Rice Salad

    Edamame Rice Salad

    We weren’t exactly sure what to name this dish… is it a carb? Is it a salad? Is it a vegetarian entree? It’s a little bit of everything, thanks to an abundance of veggies in this dish. Cooking at home for nearly every meal since March has given us a chance to experiment with recipes…

  • Almond Butter & Berry Smoothie

    Almond Butter & Berry Smoothie

    We are still on the smoothie train and love having a little something sweet to look forward to in the morning when it’s time for breakfast. This Almond Butter & Berry Smoothie is one of our favorites. We blend a mix of chia seeds and flax seeds into the smoothie which makes it thick and…

  • Crispy Chickpea Grain Bowls

    Crispy Chickpea Grain Bowls

    Tuck’s family has been on the road for about six weeks now, moving apartments every two weeks because baseball season likes to keep us on our toes! Part of the challenge of “settling” somewhere, even though we don’t know how long we are staying for, is buying the correct amount of groceries. If we buy…

  • Arugula & Bulgur Caprese

    Arugula & Bulgur Caprese

    There is something so “summer” about caprese salad. We have posted a number of versions since having the blog and continue that trend today with a spin on this Half Baked Harvest rendition. Tieghan posted this recipe a few years ago and we love the addition of the prosciutto for a salty punch and the…

  • Semi-Homemade Southwestern Steak “Wedge” Salad

    Semi-Homemade Southwestern Steak “Wedge” Salad

    When we go out to dinner, one of our favorite salads to order is the classic wedge salad. We love the simplicity of this salad and used it as inspiration for a weekday lunch. This salad uses pre-marinated steak that we found at Trader Joe’s. This is a huge win for both flavor and time…
