Cooking

Family meals have loved in my house

Alright… healthy is a stretch here. But with a few simple swaps and additions that my kids barely notice I feel much better about mac and cheese for dinner!

Start with your favorite mac and cheese recipe, or grab some premade from the store. I don’t judge! Work smarter, not harder. I very loosely used the mac and cheese recipe from @thekitchn.

🍝 Next, swap out your pasta for a higher protein option. I think the best one is @barilla Protein+, but we use whatever we have! Skip this if you buy premade.

🍗 Now grab whatever leftover protein you have in your fridge. Tonight we used leftover pulled pork, but I’ve used sausage, cut up chicken, chickpeas, whatever! Stir it in with the cheese sauce.

🥦 Lastly, grab a bag of frozen riced cauliflower and add it in to the cheese sauce and protein right before the pasta. I swear no one will taste it and it doesn’t add any color that may be offensive to children! It will thaw as you stir in your pasta and mix everything together. This last step brings the meal over the edge from a side dish to a whole meal complete with a veggie.

Try this out next time your family’s craving mac and cheese but you want to put something a little healthier on your plate!

Ditch the frozen pizza for good and start doing make your own pizza night! All you need is a pizza peel, pizza stone and a few easy groceries. As a bonus, my kids usually actually eat it since they’re so proud of their creations!

Inspired by the Carmelized Corn Brown Butter Pasta from The Ambitious Kitchen cookbook… but make it so my kids will eat it (minus jalapeños, plus bacon 😜)!

Anyone else hitting a summer slump??

This week I’m going to the expert to make the ultimate lazy girl meal plan for my family’s dinners. I’m using exclusively meals from the 15-ish minute chapter of What To Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking by Caroline Chambers!

Every meal I’ve made out of this book has been easy, delicious and best of all a complete meal (no sides necessary!).

During a busy week you can’t beat shredded chicken as a meal prep super star. It’s so versatile, affordable and easy to cook!

If you live in fear of overcooked chicken breast a sous vide is the answer. You literally cannot overcook it since it never gets hotter than the temp you set! If you’re a busy mom who gets distracted (🙋‍♀️) this is your friend. I set it in the morning and then come back to take it out after a couple hours.

I recently leveled up my sous vide game with a Syntus Vacuum Sealer for Food with 30 Reusable Vacuum Bags. It’s so easy to use and stops automatically when it’s done to take out any guesswork. It works with any valve bag and makes a perfect seal to keep out all the water. Muchhh better than my previous system of a ziploc, a straw and closing it super fast 😂

The options are endless for using shredded chicken (chicken pot pie, chicken soup, chicken and rice casserole…), here are four ideas to get you started!

Homemade tzatziki chicken salad- I paired my favorite tzatziki recipe with shredded chicken to make a healthier, higher protein chicken salad for snacks and lunches

Pulled chicken sandwiches- add bbq sauce, coleslaw and a pack of hamburger buns and dinner is done!

Chicken Caesar wraps- caesar salad wraps are the talk of the town right now and couldn’t be easier after you prep your chicken. Add a bagged Caesar, some wraps and an easy side and you have a crowd pleaser on the table in less than 5 mins.

5 ingredient Creamy chicken enchiladas- mix chicken with a jar of salsa and a handful of cheese for the filling. Mix another jar of salsa with sour cream to make the sauce. Cover the bottom of a 9x13 with half of the sauce. Roll the filling in burrito sized tortillas and place in the pan. Top with the rest of the sauce and a layer of cheese and bake at 400 until bubbly and the cheese is melted.

EASY CHICKEN RAMEN

Save this for your next busy weeknight! I love to make ramen to use up things in the fridge and pantry and it’s such a hit with my kids. Foods with toppings are fun! Add in whatever you have or your family loves.

I tried out Cook Stix coconut ginger chicken stock this time and LOVED it. As someone with a small pantry, I love how compact these are compared to a carton of stock, and the flavors are delicious. As a bonus I don’t have leftover chicken stock sitting in my fridge today! I can just use what I need and the rest stays shelf stable. Go to the link in my bio to try these out for yourself!

“Recipe”: I use what I have and don’t measure… that’s the beauty of this meal!

1. Heat oil in a stockpot and add aromatics (garlic, ginger, shallots, curry paste, spices etc). I added garlic, ginger and red curry paste. I also added peanut butter for a peanut ramen broth! Sauté until fragrant.

2. Add liquids (stock/broth, coconut milk etc) and bring to a boil. I used coconut ginger chicken stock and highly recommend!

3. Add veggies (use frozen chopped veggies for extra fast/easy meal) and noodles. If you plan on having leftovers you may want to cook noodles separately so they don’t get soggy. Cook according to package instructions.

4. Add toppings (protein, boiled egg, nori sheets, scallions, sriracha, shredded carrots…anything you want!). We were low on ingredients so did chicken and a seaweed snack pack.

Follow for more easy family meals and if you make this let me know how it comes out!

Didn’t feel like cooking tonight but had wayyy too many tomatoes in the fridge that would go bad if I skipped for takeout. This summer pasta is so easy and can be ready in the time it takes to boil water since the pasta cooks in one minute. Literally. Add in some frozen meatballs or sausage if you need a protein to make a meal!
