When your husband "doesn't like soup" so you use it as a pasta sauce and it's apparently delicious. 🤣 This Creamy Curry Bisque soup can be found at Aldi's and I used two cans to feed my family of five. Then I used pan seared kielbasa sausage and cherry tomatoes with two-ish cups of chopped spinach and about a half cup of dairy free heavy whipping cream and a box of extra protein noodles that I cooked while I seared the sausage. This whole process took me about twenty minutes and everyone loved it. Eating healthy doesn't have to be time consuming and involve endless meal prep. Just simple ingredients with a lot of flavor!

Why eat subpar pizza when you can eat homemade sourdough pizza? 😜

#1 Classic Pepperoni
#2 Copycat of Cesario's Fig N Goat: dairy free Italian cheese blend, olive oil, figs, goat cheese, prosciutto, arugula, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and balsamic glaze.

From frozen bones and veggies in my deep freeze, to cooked bone broth, to jars, to vacuum sealed, to my freezer and deep freeze. Nothing is better than prepping 20 cups of broth with the push of a button thanks to your pressure cooker. Saving me money and giving me nutrients. 👌

Sourdough biscuits made with freshly ground flour, homemade sauerkraut from a couple months ago, sauteed kielbasa sausage with bell pepper seasoned with garlic, onion, chili powder, salt, and pepper, and topped with from scratch gravy. All together it was a medium, not good not bad. Individually, they were amazing.

This hummus wreath is missing a few ingredients from last time. 🤫 But it's a pretty and fun way to incorporate healthy veggies into your Christmas spread. I serve it with bell peppers, carrots, celery sticks, Wheat Thins, and pita chips. Here's the recipe for the hummus I make and the original recipe for the wreath. I didn't add the feta this time and the green onions were just sprinkled on top of the parsley with a small amount of parmesan to finish it off. 😋
