I used to be the girl who followed a recipe to a T, can you say organized perfectionist? Then when I started to expand my clean eating horizons with the Portion Fix plan I realized I was going to have to start stepping out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I did! I…

Cheeseburger Hotdish
It only took 26 years but this Minnesota born and raised girl finally made her first hotdish, yes the old church ladies would be proud! The look on my husband’s face when I pulled it out of the oven was complete disbelief and then pure joy as apparently this is his favorite? Who knew I’ve…
Cream of something soup mix!
I’ll admit I used to be afraid of making soup because I was worried it wouldn’t turn out, silly right? Now it’s one of my favorite things to make because it’s easy, cheap and uses up leftovers brilliantly! Which is why I want to share my simple way to start out any pot or crockpot full of…
Beer Bread
You can’t have soup without fresh bread and beer bread is a favorite at our house! We love the Tastefully Simple version but at $6 a loaf it doesn’t fit in the budget and is now reserved for special occasions. Luckily, I stumbled across this homemade beer bread recipe a couple years ago in a local…

Coconut Steamed Veggies 1/2 cup water 1/2 chopped fresh broccoli or green beans 1/2 cup sliced fresh carrot 1/2 chopped fresh cauliflower 1/2 tsp coconut oil…
Quinoa Stir Fry
Something I hear quite often is,“I don’t know how to cook healthy.” My tip? Just try it! Yes, there will be flops but you’ll never learn if you don’t try. When I first started cooking cleaner I had no idea what I was doing because it was completely different than what I had grown up on…
Taco Soup
The coolness of fall has me leaning towards soup for dinner because it’s easy, delicious and the recipe doesn’t always have to be “perfect” because let’s face it cooking with kids is not an easy task! Plus, there is usually leftovers for lunch the next day which both Chase and I appreciate. One of our…
