Winter Stovetop Simmer Pot Recipes

3 Healthy Harvest Salads
Fall > any other season
The falling leaves and changing colors get everyone in the mood for another cozy fall season. Salads are one of my favorite meals to toss together, especially when I’m running low on other meal ideas or have zero time to make anything - aka all the time being a mom of four lol. Fall harvest produce is great to grab at your local farmer’s market when it’s in season (support local!!). Check out my 3 favorite feel-good salads using healthy fall options!
Saturday Morning Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
Imagine this: you just woke up after sleeping in on a cozy Saturday morning. You’re craving something sweet, so you run down to the kitchen and whip up a batch of (fill in the blank - waffles? pancakes?). Your answer should most definitely be strawberry cinnamon rolls! If it wasn’t, that’s OK, but I’m here to change your mind!
Spooky Chocolate Mousse
I’m a Halloween lover, and my ghoul (eh, goal) is to make everything spooky. When I get the motivation to cook and create, this chocolate mousse is one of my favs! Think chocolate mousse - but the eyeballs make it spooky and the ingredients make it decently healthy! - YUM!
An Easy & Creamy Weeknight Pasta Recipe
Back to school season can wear any parent down! Especially when it comes to mealtime, it can be super overwhelming among everything else going on in the day! Finding a meal that is quick AND delicious is the unicorn we are all striving for, right? I’ve found that having a bunch of weeknight recipes on hand is the best solution. You can look through your list of quick recipes at a glance and simply grab what sounds best.
My 2 Favorite Plant Based Wing Recipes
Gosh, wings are so good. Now I know you might be asking yourself, “Jess, really… wings?” but yes. You heard me right! The problem I have with them though is the stringy chicken. I’m just not a fan. So I guess basically I just like the idea of dipping something hot and spicy into ranch. Anyway, because I always TRY to do some better-for-me options - and especially always experimenting with plants - I thought I’d give some plant-based wings a try to see if they fit the bill.
EASY Enchilada Rice for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner
Filling, flavorful, and can easily be plant-based, gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, or whatever you need to make something for everyone. Plus, you’ll 100% have leftovers and truthfully, I think the leftovers are even better than the first night. Enchilada rice is different from enchiladas, just to be clear! But you could totally even add this to rolled up tortillas and top with enchilada sauce for another take. This is something I like for lunch, dinner, or even breakfast - and you can always top it with additional things like cheese, tofu, chicken or eggs if you want!
End of Summer Anti-Inflammation Smoothie
In the summer, I think I make a smoothie every single day. It’s the perfect way to pack in fruits and veggies for myself (and for the kids when they steal my smoothies!). It’s also super refreshing and cooling when its 90+ degrees. It’s ALSO the easiest way to get a meal in when I am holding multiple children :)
Along with making my typical green smoothie, I like to switch it up with something sweet and spicy and anti inflammatory during the warm-warm days!
