Greek Style Grilled Chicken

This chicken recipe is light and easy and is perfect over a hearty Greek salad. Make sure you let the chicken marinate before putting it on the grill to really allow the flavors to blend. Enjoy!

Shrimp Red Curry Noodles

This recipe is SO easy and delicious. Anytime noodles are an option on a takeout menu I go for it. And now here's a noodle recipe I can easily make at home. This recipe comes together quickly so make sure you prep all your ingredients before you begin.

Paprika Grilled Chicken

This chicken recipe is incredibly easy and pair swell with many side dishes. The paprika brings a lovely spicy smoky flavor and giving the chicken time to marinate allows the flavors to blend. Grill and enjoy!

Lightened Turkey Stroganoff

I love making this recipe when lousy weather days arrive in Chicago (and the craving for comfort food!). I took the comfort of beef stroganoff and gave it a healthy twist without sacrificing flavor. Excellent for a crowd or some Sunday night meal prep. Enjoy!

Tomato Pasta Sauce

One of the trickiest parts of cooking is cooking for a crowd – how do you please everyone? Enter this sauce! I recently had a whole hodge-podge of people over and wanted to easily please everyone without making multiple dishes. This tomato sauce is easy to make and a cheap recipe to make in bulk for a crowd. Vegetarian friendly and perfectly pairs with grilled chicken for the meat lovers in your life. Even if you’re not cooking for a crowd, you can make this sauce in bulk and it freezes beautifully. So cook up and enjoy!

Mushroom Bolognese Sauce

This superbly easy pasta sauce recipe is a great way to whip up a cheap and easy dinner loaded with protein without skimping on the comfort. You can make large batches at a time for a crowd and it freezes well so a great option for meal prep!

Chili

Chili is a great cold weather recipe that is easily expanded to feed a crowd. I love making chili for Sunday night football games and winter weekend movie nights. High in protein and low in fat, it's a comfort food you can feel good about. As an added bonus - it's easy to make!

Shrimp and Steak Fajitas

Fajitas are a great fast dinner recipe. And making them yourself is way cheaper than takeout! Steak and shrimp is my favorite combination but you can also sub in thinly sliced chicken or ditch the meat and go vegetarian. Enjoy with a side of my Guacamole!

Pineapple Barbecue Pulled Pork

So while most of my recipes are affordable, quick, and easy, it is possible to have a recipe that is affordable, takes a very long time…and is still easy! This recipe cooks slowly for nine hours, simmering together seasoned pork, barbecue sauce, and pineapple! Toss in a few other spices and you have an easy recipe that yields a huge amount of food and is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser! So set your slow cooker and watch this meal come together. And added bonus: your kitchen will smell amazing!

Shrimp Asparagus Pasta

Easy and healthy come together in this quick pasta recipe! Use the same pot for the asparagus, pasta, and shrimp and then mix it up with a batch of Marinara Sauce for an easy lunch or dinner recipe. Make the marinara sauce ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze to cut out even more time. Enjoy!
