Despite the groundhog sighting in early February, we’re still firmly in winter wonderland around here, with no sign of it letting up. The snow is as high as we can pile it and we have so much, there isn’t a ton of room for any more. Homemade soup tastes perfect when tired from playing outside in the snow, and lately I’ve been making a ton of delicious varieties! The one thing they all have in common? Easy Slow Cooker Homemade Chicken Stock! It will blow your mind how easy this is to make, with ingredients that could really be considered “leftovers”!

Dutch Oven Roasted Chicken

January 1, 2019 By Lane Leave a Comment

Happy New Year! 2019 is here! And so is our Dutch Oven Roasted Chicken!

Have I mentioned that I’m doing the Whole 30? I can’t even really tell you why (because I’m not really sure), other than I wanted a challenge. And for my carb addicted, cheese loving, Taco Bell going self, this might be the ultimate challenge. But who knows, maybe I’ll find that I love it and my body loves it and I feel great and…well, hopefully I’ll survive anyway. My stubborn nature will definitely come in handy here. Thanks to my husband (who wasn’t given a lot of choice) and my friend, Lynnea, who are going to be my main source of support and have agreed to do the Whole30 with me. And you. I’m sure you all will support me. Right? Starting with this Whole 30 compliant Dutch Oven Roasted Chicken.

And if anyone else is doing the Whole 30, sound off below, or hit me up on social media! Misery loves company!

I was hosting a dinner the other night, when I realized I needed a side dish. It had go with flank steak (recipe here), but the grill was going to be in use, so I needed to use the oven. In came these Roasted Vegetables.

Otherwise known as “How to make vegetables taste like candy”.

Or otherwise known as “How to get your kids to eat vegetables”.

And sometimes the best recipes are the most simple. You actually won’t believe how simple. And here’s how to do it…

Falafel with Lemon Tahini Dressing

March 21, 2017 By Lane 11 Comments

I’ve always had a thing for Falafel. Never thought I could MAKE it though! Turns out it’s not too hard…and oh so worth it!

I recently read a book where all of the characters went outside of their comfort zones and ended up reaping some great rewards. I truly wouldn’t have believed how much greatness was going to come from going outside of my culinary comfort zone! I decided to dabble in vegan cooking-and YOU GUYS…!!!!

Turns out you don’t need meat, nor dairy, nor eggs to create an amazing flavorful meal! Just try this Falafel with Lemon Tahini Dressing!…

Chipotle Pulled Pork Sliders

June 20, 2016 By Lane 30 Comments

As you can imagine, any time Holly and I get together there is a lot of talk about food. And none more than when we are planning a girls weekend at my cabin. We knew it would be hot. We knew our other partner in crime (Hi Em!) was coming with us and likely didn’t want to spend ALL DAY cooking. We knew we wanted delicious food. Enter Chipotle Pulled Pork Sliders, made in the slow cooker. My favorite kitchen tool in the winter, it is also unbelievably useful in the summer. Especially when you don’t want to heat up your cabin with the oven. Especially when you’re going to want something amazing for dinner. Especially when you want to spend the day outdoors, splashing in the lake and taking the boat out for a spin!…
