Happy Monday, friends! One of our resolutions for 2020 was to try to eat more plant-based foods during the week. And to be perfectly honest, it’s been challenging! And although this particular recipe does not have any plant-based protein, it doesn’t have meat, so we are placing this in the win column! This lemon pepper pappardelle is one of my all-time favorite finds at Trader Joe’s and I love finding new ways to enjoy this delicious pasta. Here is my super easy weeknight Lemon Pepper Pappardelle wth Asparagus and Basil recipe:
If you have been following along for awhile now, you probably already know that in the McCarthy household, we eat pizza on Fridays. It has been a tradition for over 8 years and is something we look forward to each week. I love coming up with different recipes each week. You can see the entire collection of pizza recipes here. This loaded baked potato pizza has been on repeat lately.
With fall in full swing in Northern Virginia, I have been searching for all my fall recipes to make. It’s the season of comfort food (did you catch my lighter version of fall comfort food post here?) but that doesn’t mean comfort food has to be unhealthy. I picked up some of my favorite fall vegetables at Trader Joe’s the other week to create the most delicious roasted fall vegetable pasta. This pasta truly captures all the flavors of the season and I couldn’t be more excited for it!
We have been on a real Mexican food kick the past few weeks. No matter what time of the year, we probably eat Mexican at least one time per week. It’s one of our favorites! But since it is summer and we are able to use the grill, I am trying to use it as much as possible. Taking recipes that I usually make in the kitchen and moving them to the grill has been a fun spin on our usual weekly menu lineup. A few weeks ago, I shared the Mexican Style Street Corn (see that recipe here). And today I’m continuing the trend of Mexican on the grill with these Chicken Street Tacos.Read More
Taking a break from the grilled recipes today to share a new favorite in our house. I have shared my love for sheet pan dinners (most recently here) a few times here on the blog. It’s my go-to for weeknight dinners. We recently discovered this beef sirloin for fajitas at Wegmans and fell in love. The first few times I made it, I sauteed the beef and pepper mixture in a skillet. However, I realized it would be just as good in the oven for the an easy, weeknight sheet pan dinner!
It’s no secret that sheet pan dinners are some of my favorite kinds of dinners. I’ve shared quite a few here on the blog, it’s one of my favorite recipes to develop! However, it is a toss up as to what I like most about these dinners. I love the flavor of roasted vegetables but I also love how quick and easy the preparation and clean up is for these types of meals! With St. Patrick’s Day next week, I wanted to share an Irish sheet pan dinner that is the perfect way to celebrate.
Happy Tuesday, friends! Yes, my obsession with sheet pan dinners is real. I have tried quite a few sheet pan recipes, but I think this is our favorite one yet. I have been making it once a week for the past few months because it’s so good! This Italian Chicken Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner is perfect for a cold winter night and goes well with both rice and pasta. Read More
I’ve been on a real kick with the sheet pan and crockpot dinners lately. I love how simple both cooking methods are! For the crockpot, two weeks ago I shared a Loaded Baked Potato Soup that I have made countless times and this week it’s all about the sheet pan dinner. I wanted to incorporate some of my favorite fall vegetables into a dinner a few weeks ago and came up with this delicious and healthy mix of fall flavors for the ultimate fall sheet pan dinner.
Happy Tuesday! If you have been following along for the past few weeks, you know I have been having a moment with sheet pan dinners. During the weekdays, I am all about these quick and easy meals. Especially when they have an easier and quicker clean up! I gave this sheet pan eggplant Parmesan a try and it was such a hit, I’m making it again for dinner tonight!
Healthy and quick weeknight dinners are always on my mind, but especially at the start of fall. As I mentioned with last week’s Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas, I think it’s because I’m preparing for dinner without a grill in the colder months which forces me to come up with quick dinners indoors. This Cauliflower Fettuccine Alfredo is a spin on the traditional Fettuccine Alfredo but with a fraction of the calories. A relatively guilt-free dinner, you will find yourself reaching for seconds without feeling bad about it!
