Fall Pumpkin Cacio e Pepe (Gluten Free) + Maple Bourbon Cocktail Recipe

admin — Fri, 25 Oct 2019 13:38:06 +0000

Ok pasta lovers, this recipe is for you! I’ve spiced up the popular Cacio E Pepe dish and added a little fall flair to it. I was obsessed with this pasta dish while traveling through Italy, so I had to recreate it at home but I figured I’d add a taste of fall to make it a bit unique and seasonal. Sounds a bit strange to add pumpkin to pasta but I swear it’s so good. It adds a bit of a sweet yet salty kick to the already peppery dish. It’s a flavor explosion! I personally made this recipe with gluten-free pasta, so all my gluten-free babes can enjoy this one too! Just add my maple bourbon cocktail and date night will be perfection!

Game Day With The Girls

Fall is here which means football is on 24/7 in our house. I love watching my team (Redskins) play but when it comes to some of the other teams, I am pretty indifferent. I do, however, really enjoy the social aspect of football. Aka food and drinks! I love entertaining at our new home, so I jump at any chance I can get to have my friends and family over. I’ve found that Football Sunday is a great excuse to get your friends over and with a little planning, you can create a super impressive spread that your girlfriends will even enjoy! From my experience with feeding large crowds, it’s a good idea to make one homemade dish and fake it with the rest. I made these crispy wings from scratch, created a gorgeous cheeseboard (that only involved slicing) that was inspired by good friend @cheatsandmeeses and then went the nostalgic route and heated up some bagel bites! This spread was a huge hit with our friends and even though the wings were delicious and the cheese board was stunning, the bagel bites went the fastest. Which goes to show, you don’t have to spend hours prepping for a party to […]

I have and always will be a brunch girl. No diet or fitness goal I am trying to reach will change that. The weekend rolls around and there is just something that feels so right about indulging in delicious brunch foods while sipping on a mimosa or two! It’s what weekends were made for, am I right? I may be logging all my food and watching what I eat on the #52DayShred but that doesn’t mean that I have to give up my brunches, NO WAY! There is a way to throw a bangin’ brunch for your friends and eat it too, even when you are tracking your macros.

1 Crockpot Meal 3 Ways – Healthy Meal Prep Made Easy

1 Crockpot Meal 3 Ways – Healthy Meal Prep Made Easy… The struggle is real when it comes to whipping healthy dinners in our house. My husband and I are usually super busy during the day that by the time we both get home at night it’s pushing 9pm and the last thing we want to do is slave over the hot stove to cook dinner. Our only saving grace has been cooking up a large crockpot meal on Sundays so that we have endless protein to work with for the entire week. Once the protein has been cooked, all you have to do is come up with different ways to prepare it each time you want a meal. With limited time on my hands, trying to stay healthy and within my macro numbers while on the #52DayShred, I came up with this Honey Siracha Chicken recipe and it has been a total winner in our house! Since the chicken is slow cooked, it has all the time in the world to soak in the delicious flavors and you would have no idea by the taste that this recipe is actually good for you! I need a little kick of […]
