Easy Appetizer: Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus!

Here is an easy appetizer that I made a few times over the Holidays! 

It's quick and great to bring to dinners or parties!

Start with a bunch of Asparagus and chop off the ends:


Spread the asparagus out in a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil:


Salt and cracked pepper to taste:


Pop them in the oven at about 350, they won't take super long, maybe 15 or 20 minutes or until the ends are brown and crisp:


Once they have cooled down, wrap one slice of prosciutto around two pieces of asparagus. The prosciutto is flexible and tends to stick to itself so you won't need to use toothpicks to hold them together or anything!




These can be served immediately or store in the fridge for later! 

These were a popular appetizer wherever I brought them this season, and I think they would be good all year round :)

One Skillet Kale Meal!

Here's a quick and easy one skillet meal for lunch, dinner, or whenever!

All I used was:
-fresh kale 
-fresh vine tomatoes
-chicken sausages
( I also had left over pork loin from earlier dinners that I chopped up and used)
- garlic
-black pepper


I cut the kale off its stems ( I don't really like the stems!) and threw them into a hot skillet with olive oil, minced garlic, and cracked pepper.

While the kale was cooking up I sliced up the pork loin and chicken sausages and then added them into the pan.

My last addition was the fresh vine tomatoes. Since they are pretty delicate, I addsthem last so they maintain some structure and flavor.

Once it's all cooked up I dash some sea salt on top and that's it!

Another simple one skillet meal for the books!

What's you're favorite one skillet meal?

Bun-less Veggie Burgers!

Yummy, quick, easy dinner here! 

I didn't do too much grocery shopping this week, so I checked in with our freezer to see what we had.

Veggie burgers it is! 


These are Trader Joe's veggie burgers. They are not like the imitation meat veggie burgers, they have more of a falafel taste/texture :) 

I cooked the veggie patties in a skillet on the stove for a few minutes on each side.  While they were finishing cooking I added a slice if cheese to each patty so that it could melt a little.

After they were done I stacked them with sliced jalapeƱos, fresh avocado, sliced tomatoes off the vine, and drizzled with mustard:


Lastly I cracked some black pepper on top and that's it! 

Simple, quick, and healthy!

Do you have a favorite veggie burger style!?
