Parmesan Risotto

My new found love of cooking stems from my true love…eating. Growing up, I never had to partake in the cooking part of my love affair. I simply set the table and enjoyed the masterpiece that was dinner. From smoked pork shoulders to homemade fudge, there is always something good coming from the kitchen.

It wasn’t until my first weekend of married life that I realized I was in trouble when my sister-in-law and I went shopping. She, of course, was grabbing all the materials needed for my brother’s magnificent meal, and I got milk, spaghettiOs, ramen and cereal.

5-ingredient Easy Chili

Trying to get back into the swing of things can be hard especially after the long weekend. An easy, hearty recipes like 5-ingredient Easy Chili is exactly what you need.

My plan for tonight is to turn on Netflix, act like it is Sunday and cook 5-ingredient easy chili. It takes about 25 minutes and to make a full flavor chili without all the work. The rest of the evening will be spent on my new Netflix original, Making A Murderer.

If you are like me, you can’t just have classic chili for dinner. It needs to be paired with cornbread and to fulfill my 2016 eating healthy goal, a veggie.

5-Ingredient Easy Chili:

1 lb. ground beef or turkey*
3 (15 oz.) cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
2 (15 oz.) cans beans, drained (black beans, kidney beans, a combo, or whatever you like)
1 small white onion, diced
2 Tbsp. Chili powder
(optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, cilantro, etc.)

Skinny Lasagna Roll

The skinny lasagna roll will make your mouth water. It takes all the classics of true lasagna and finds lighter options to fulfill you.

Being raised in a good Italian home, I was a little weary, but I was proven wrong with my first delicious bite. I paired my skinny lasagna roll with balsamic green beans, homemade Italian sausage, and sauce. Here was my quick snapshot of the entire meal.

If you don’t have time to make items from scratch, store bought is perfect. The most important part of this recipe is you taking the time to care for yourself!
