  • Sharing one of my favorite recipes that I've been cooking lately ~ ordered this one from Hello Fresh just to mix things up and liked it so much that I've cooked it several times myself since. Anyone else had success with any meal prep services? I had never tried any until recently, because I was a little leery about the ingredients being shipped / what sort of quality they'd be - but have been very pleased trying Hello Fresh once in a while here and there to learn new recipes.

    Anyways, here's the recipe for Thai Chili Coconut Smashed Pork Patties from Hello Fresh - > here

    Some tips:
    * If you're not a pork eater, I'm fairly sure this would also taste really good with ground chicken - may need to adjust cooking time slightly, but would still be delicious.
    * Finding "sweet Thai chili sauce" is a little iffy in my town - but lo and behold there is a PF Changs & Panda Express brand version at walmart that works just fine - > used about a tablespoon and a half.
    * Online recipe doesn't give measurements for coconut milk - > I use 1/4 cup for rice, and 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup for the sauce.
    * Coconut rice is so delicious if you eat rice a lot; it's a fun way to mix it up a little without all that much extra effort involved.


  • Guess who's back - back again!

  • Now that NaPo is over, I want to get back to posting in here. Anything you want to see?


  • Hi darlings,
    My life has been a mess and thus we have been eating out a lot more than I'd like. Trying to re-center back into good habits after a month of going off the deep end and really not taking care of our bodies. Do you ever get in those funks too?

    What would you like to see from me? Ways to get out of cooking ruts/funks? Lunch recipes? Dinner?

    Let me know <3

  • I decided to start super simple with the easiest recipe in my repertoire. The Redhawk is a pulled chicken sandwich that just needs a few hours in the crockpot to delight even the most picky of people. To take it to the next level, serve with macncheese (recipe to come!) and roasted carrots!

    Enjoy! xoxo
