It’s almost here! Thanksgiving 2017, you’re so close I can smell it. Oh and trust me, it smells AMAZING. My neighbors said they could smell dinner down the street! By now you should have seen some of my other recipes in this series, but what Thanksgiving meal is truly complete without a roasted bird? Try not to limit yourself to turkey…
Happy Friday! We are less than a week away from Thanksgiving now, so I have another recipe for you to try! As part of my healthy Thanksgiving series, I’m sharing my recipe for Cauliflower Mash. This is a MUCH lighter version of its counterpart, mashed potatoes, and I’m about to tell you why! Right off the bat, cauliflower has a…
Hello! Is anyone else out there feeling a little blindsided by the fact that Thanksgiving is next week? I feel like I just kept putting the holidays off with “We still have plenty of time!“. Oh she of little preparation. So here we are, and let me guess- you probably don’t want to gain 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas,…
Hey there! Did you have a great weekend with your family, or even just catching up on some rest? You deserve it! Hopefully you were able to sneak in some grocery shopping and meal prep somewhere, because another week is about to begin my friends! If you didn’t get a chance to plan your week, check out my latest menu AND…
Hello friends! Wow, October was something else! I went to my high school reunion early on in the month, and had a blast! Later, my entire family visited Universal Studios, primarily to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (there’s a nice photo of my brother, sister, and me below). And by the way, that place was AMAZING. And most recently, it was…
Do you remember that video I did awhile ago on social media about stuffed peppers? They were cheesy, delicious, and amazingly low-carb! In case you didn’t see it, I have a link to the video here! I think making videos is a fun way to prove to you just how simple it is to make good food. Plus, I think it…
I really like the idea of going meatless one day a week. I’m not even sure that my fiance has realized that we do this, but he also doesn’t seem to mind! I think that’s because vegetarian does not mean that the meal isn’t satisfying, and this dish is a perfect example of that. It’s still incredibly hearty, and there’s…
It looks so good you could just take a bite, am I right? I’m bringing you a brand new #crockpotMonday recipe today! I made these Jamaican Jerk Pulled Pork Sandwiches as a way to deviate from my tried and true BBQ Pulled Pork recipe, which you can find on my instagram page @thesamanthaelaine. I needed something new, something fresh, and…
My fiance loves pork chops, no matter how they’re prepared. Me, well I’m a little more picky. It has to be done just right: juicy, never dry, and accompanied by something a little saucy. That’s why this dish is perfect! It lets the flavor of the foods shine through on their own, and if you pair each bite of pork with…
Do you remember that video I did on my Facebook and Instagram story awhile back? It was my very first tutorial, and I was incredibly nervous. But I received such positive feedback, so please accept a big THANK YOU! You have inspired me, so I’m currently in the process of getting a good setup to do more. In the meantime,…
