Since I got my food processor, I’ve been trying out lots of different recipes. This is one of my latest (and tastiest!) creations: lemon tomato pesto with baked salmon.🍋🍅🐟⁣ This turned out WAY better than I expected. If you want to know how I made this, put a 🙋🏻‍♀️ in the comments and I’ll post it on the blog!🌵

Goal for 2020: eat more pizza🍕⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ For this pizza, I used a combination of red sauce and my homemade pesto. Topped it with sausage, bacon, shredded colby jack cheese, and goat cheese. SO GOOD. ⁣⁣ I’m thinking of making a cauliflower crust pizza next...stay tuned👀⁣ ⁣⁣ What are your favorite pizza toppings??🍕🌵

Have a small amount of leftover meat, and not sure what to do with it? Taquitos! ⁣ I used our leftover pulled pork, added shredded cheese, wrapped it in a corn tortilla, and baked in the oven for 10 minutes. ⁣ Easy and delicious!😋🌵

Before the year comes to an end, I just wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone that’s supported me on this journey. I love sharing my recipes and creations with you, and I appreciate each and every one of your likes and comments so much.🤍⁣ Can’t wait to see what I cook up in 2020!🎉🌵

Found this @stonewallkitchen butternut squash sauce, and had to try it. What can I say? I’m a butternut squash fanatic🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ I used the sauce to make a spaghetti-like dish last night. Mixed pasta and seasoned ground beef into the sauce and topped with Parmesan cheese. YUM!⁣ This sauce is perfect for dinner when you want something tasty, but are short on time. ⁣ (Not sponsored, just wanted everyone to know how great this sauce is😍)

Enjoying my peppermint white chocolate latte in my cactus mug, in front of my Christmas cactus🌵🎄😍☕️⁣ Happy Saturday before Christmas, friends!🎅🏼

I tried a sheet pan dinner last night, and wow! I don’t know why I haven’t done it before. Seriously was so easy- for prep, cook, and cleanup!🤗⁣ ⁣ I made honey balsamic chicken with veggies. Thinking of putting this on the blog...thoughts?🤔🌵

One of my favorite ways to elevate a chocolate chip cookie is by adding walnuts to the batter. For a regular batch, add half a cup of chopped walnuts and mix in with the chocolate chips. Santa will thank you🎅🏼🍪🥛⁣

The holiday season is my favorite time of the year. There’s so many things to cook and bake, and family traditions to do.😍🎄🎅🏼☃️⁣ One of my favorite family traditions is making lefse. It is a Norwegian flatbread made out of potatoes that we make every year. This year, Austin got to join in and make it with my mom, grandma and myself. It makes my heart full being able to share this tradition of lefse making (and eating!) with him.❤️⁣ ⁣ What are your family traditions around the holidays? Let me know in the comments!🌵
