Top 7 Delish Zucchini Recipes

July 28, 2020 By Emily Gammon Leave a Comment

Zucchini Recipes – they’ll change your life!  Promise!  Zucchini is one of the most versatile vegetables that you will enjoy. This is great news for everyone who grows zucchini because these plants often produce exceptional amounts of vegetables each year.  (See our post about how to preserve garden vegetables if you just have too much zucchini.) Before you freeze it, consider using it!

Some people may feel that zucchini is a little bland.  Therefore, they are not really interested in using it while cooking. The truth is, the mild flavor of zucchini makes it an exceptional ingredient for almost any dish because you can season it to taste. [Read more…]

Vegetable and Beef Chili

April 5, 2020 By Christina Leave a Comment

This vegetable and beef chili recipe came from the Beyond Diet 7 Day Rescue plan and is one of my favorites. I can have this ready in 15 minutes and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. And of course, I make a lot every time and fill the freezer and have a quick go-to lunch idea. For lunch, I add some rice in. For dinner, I just eat it plain or use it as my pizza sauce on homemade pizzas. As a snack, I put it on top of tortilla chips with some cheese. Can I just say these are amazing nachos without a lot of the added effort and one of our faves!Vegetable and beef chili [Read more…]

Zesty Vegetable and Beef Meatloaf Recipe

March 28, 2020 By Christina Leave a Comment

This zesty beef meatloaf recipe is one of my favorites. The best part about it is that touch of spicy that most meatloaf recipes don’t have. AND the added nutrients from the vegetables is a bonus. When we make this meatloaf we make a bunch of them and throw them in the freezer for a quick and easy meal. During these times, being able to plan ahead matters. If you haven’t caught our post Stretching Supplies During the Coronavirus, it might be of interest to you. Keeping to yourself is pretty important these days and if you can limit how often you venture into public you’ll limit your risk to exposure.beef meatloaf recipe slices [Read more…]

Crockpot Breakfast Ideas: Heaven in the Slow Cooker

March 25, 2020 By Emily Gammon Leave a Comment

Crockpot breakfast is a woman’s way to sanity!  Getting up and moving in the morning can be tough for people. Heck!  It’s hard for most people.  We’re certainly not a family of joyful early risers. And pre-coffee trying to make a healthy breakfast seems way too difficult. But reaching for a stale pastry or stopping for something that pretends to be healthy from a fast food joint aren’t great options either. That’s why we love a good crockpot breakfast.Crockpot Monkey Bread recipe [Read more…]

Zucchini Turkey Burgers

March 22, 2020 By Christina Leave a Comment

Hands down my favorite “healthy burger” recipe is this Zucchini Turkey Burger recipe I got from Beyond Diet. The first time I tried them I was a skeptic. Afterall, they have zucchini in them and they are made from turkey not beef. But I feel in love. My whole family did. We like them so much that we don’t make just a couple at a time. We make 5 pounds and freeze them.Zucchini Turkey Burgers cooking [Read more…]
