Tender, succulent shrimp on a bed of delicious, low-carb vegetable noodles with a spicy peanut flavor. It’s hard to resist! Man, it can be tough to eat enough vegetables. I get bored of the same old thing, day in and day out. Sometimes I just can’t stand eating any more steamed broccoli! So I came up with this colorful, flavorful…
Ok, so I have to be honest. This dish is actually adapted from a recipe that my sister made for dinner one night. It was so damn good, I had to make my own version! And now I think braised pork chops are my new favorite way to eat them. In fact, this may be the only way I eat…
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…
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…
Like most people I occasionally just don’t want to make dinner. It’s tough cooking every night of the week! We really don’t like to eat out very often for a few reasons: it’s expensive, it’s not as healthy, it’s more difficult for my man with his food intolerances, and sometimes it actually takes more effort! That’s when you need an easy recipe…
Hey there! I’m coming at you with another recipe makeover here! This time it’s a classic- fish and chips, which is typically fried fish, fried potatoes, and a heavy coleslaw. So I’m going to show you how to do it all a little lighter and healthier! Let’s start with the coleslaw. It’s usually dripping with that dressing, am I right? So…
Posole is one of those recipes that brings back memories for me. I’m thinking Christmas morning, heading over to celebrate the holiday at my PapaCino’s house. That’s my cute little name for my Grandpa. It meant family, joy, togetherness, and a sense of warmth. Great food, great people, great days. I would also look over rather squeamishly at the menudo…
