Chicken Piccata Meatballs

I love making meatballs for dinner, especially a more time consuming dish like chicken piccata. Changing that classic comfort food into meatballs makes life easier and they're delicious too. Typically with chicken piccata, you are breading and shallow frying chicken breasts, then removing them from the pan to make a cream sauce, before returning the chicken to the pan until it's cooked perfectly. And you also need to have some perfectly al dente pasta to serve with! These chicken piccata ... continue reading...

Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs

I love a good pasta recipe, and I love a good slow cooker recipe. And when I can have the most perfectly tender and flavorful turkey meatballs in marinara sauce ready for me come dinnertime after simmering in the slow cooker all day, that's a perfect meal.

Slow Cooker Italian Wedding Soup

Italian wedding soup is one of my favorites. Tiny pasta, little baby meatballs, and some vegetables snuck in there to make it healthy-ish, it's a cozy bowl of deliciousness that I want to dive into with a hunk of crusty bread on the side. To keep things easy, I used my crock pot. There are some people out there who prefer the Instant Pot or the Crock Pot exclusively, but I think they both deserve a place in the kitchen. With this slow cooker Italian wedding soup it's never been easier to make ... continue reading...

Vegan Enchilada Soup

I love a good recipe that cleans out my refrigerator and pantry. Pasta recipes are a great way to do that, but so is this vegan enchilada soup. I'm not sure why I never thought to put enchilada sauce in soup before, but I'm glad that I did! The enchilada sauce gives the broth for this soup great flavor and it's the perfect vehicle for a veggie-packed meal. As a huge bonus, this soup takes way less time to make than enchiladas, which is a huge win in my book! Like my lasagna soup, which is all ... continue reading...
