It was a clean out the fridge and freezer kind of day to get ready for the two week grocery haul I’ll make tomorrow. Tonight Tom was in the kitchen and we had a #brinner of corned beef hash (corned beef leftover from March in the freezer), green peppers, onions, and potatoes for the hash and also on top of some roasted Brussels sprouts. With two fried eggs on top 🍳 Was such a delicious combo. Tom’s secret to the perfect hash is baking the potatoes the day before for crispy potatoes the next day 🥔 #sweetandstrong

I love to cook but some nights it’s sure nice having someone else plan the menu and takeover the kitchen. 👩🏼‍🍳 Tonight Tom made California Burritos 🌯 with @hancockfamilyfarms marinated minute steak, potatoes, peppers and onion, cheese, pico, and I added some guac in the side. All the goods! 🍅🥑🧀🌶 Are you usually the one that cooks in the kitchen or does your spouse sometimes takeover? #sweetandstrong

Tonight’s dinner was so delicious and completely #vegan @ohsheglows Butternut Squash Mac and ‘Cheese’ mixed in with some leftover roasted broccoli. For the noodles I used @eatbanza chickpea pasta for extra protein and the ‘cheese’ is made with a combo of the squash, nutritional yeast, almond milk, and a few spices in the blender. I try to do a few meatless lunches and dinners throughout the week, what are some of your favorite #meatlessrecipes ? #sweetandstrong .

Today #ontheblog I’m sharing my absolute favorit

Today #ontheblog I’m sharing my absolute favorite chicken spice blend 🍗 I use it to make a Homemade Rotisserie Style Chicken, with simple ingredientsand better than what you find in the store. You can use it on any cut of poultry (a whole chicken or thighs are my favs) and cook any way. I like to use the smoker Or crockpot for a tender bird. I use this chicken on salads 🥗 in wraps 🌯 or with roasted veggies 🥦🍠 throughout the week. And Audrina is a huge fan too 👶🏼 What would you put it with? #sweetandstrong

One of my favorite meals to use up some veggies in the fridge is to make a bolognese sauce. I used carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms and ground turkey. You could also use beef, chicken, or lentils for a meatless option. Everything just simmered in a tomato sauce and served with some pasta. 🍝👌🏻 Have you made bolognese before? What veggies do you add? #sweetandstrong .

Having a #meatlessmonday meal on a #tacotuesday is

Having a #meatlessmonday meal on a #tacotuesday is really messing with me. As if it wasn’t hard enough keeping track of the days of the week 🤯 But this maple sriracha tofu and kimchi fried rice were so worth it! I just roasted the tofu with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and minced fresh garlic. And followed @pinchofyum recipe for the Kimchi fried rice with half cauliflower rice and half jasmine rice. We try to make meatless lunches and meals throughout the week. Tell me below what are some of yours favs 👇🏻 #sweetandstrong

No surprise here this meal was loved by all three

No surprise here this meal was loved by all three of us. 🍽 Audrina kept signing for ‘more’ 👶🏼 girl is either going through a growth spurt or loves her chicken, potatoes, and broccoli like her mama. 🍗🥔🥦 I always make a homemade bbq rub for the chicken and tonight’s sides were roasted broccoli just in olive oil s&p and a mustard vinegar potato salad. What’s one meal loved by your entire family?!? #sweetandstrong .
