Sometimes, you need to get dinner on the table fast. It needs to be kid-friendly, too, because who has time to make multiple dishes? This easy vegan black bean and corn chili is just the ticket. It comes together in about 30-40 minutes, and it’s not so spicy that the kids won’t eat it. It’s the perfect busy weeknight meal, especially during the chilly fall and winter seasons!
Since starting on my plant-based journey (though my husband is still low carb dieting), I have struggled with eating oatmeal for breakfast. “It’s so good for you,” I’d lament to myself. But after a couple of days, I could no longer stomach the soggy texture, no matter how I dressed it up with fruit, maple syrup, nuts, seeds and other goodies. I knew I had to find a way to make it more palatable, and here it is… Strawberry Baked Oatmeal.
I’ve always loved a side of potatoes with dinner. Mashed potatoes… baked potatoes… They’re all delicious. But my favorite lately has been roasted potatoes. Although I like to experiment with lots of different spices, rosemary and thyme are a classic pairing that our whole family enjoys. Here’s our super simple recipe for tasty oven-roasted rosemary potatoes.
It’s almost dinner time. You need to get something on the table soon, but you’re not in the mood for a complicated meal. It needs to be family-friendly, and more than that, it needs to be low carb to fit in with your dietary needs. That may seem like a tall order to fill, but in reality, it’s going to be easier than you think.
This easy, cheesy low carb chicken and broccoli bake is a total winner, winner chicken dinner.
Yes, even the kids will like this dish because it’s chock full of chicken and cheese (and shhhh… veggies, too). What’s not to love?

I know Christmas is still quite a while away, but I’ve already started planning some of the DIY gifts I’ll be giving this year. Personally, food gifts are some of my favorites. I can’t wait to give this banana pudding bark this year. Not only does it make a great gift (put it in a fancy little tin and it looks totally gourmet), but it’s a great kid-friendly dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas, too.
Use pork loin, pork shoulder or pork chops to make these delicious Instant Pot Pork Tacos. This time, we’ve added an additional step of broiling the meat at the end to give the carnitas that authentic texture that really makes street tacos.
Want a tasty low carb meal that’s super easy to prepare? As you know, we love low carb pork recipes around here. These salsa verde pork chops now a favorite when we’re craving a spicy Mexican dish but don’t want to give into the carb-laden chips and rice that are served at our favorite restaurant. Pair this pork salsa verde with a green veggie and a big mound of riced cauliflower for a complete meal.
You don’t have to go camping or build a bonfire to enjoy the flavor of s’mores. Bake these delicious little cupcakes instead. They’re easy to make, and the flavor is much closer than any other smores cupcake recipe I’ve tried thanks to the layers of Graham cracker and marshmallow inside the chocolate cupcake.

In our house, we love pulled pork. Like, seriously love it. (Check out our BBQ Pork Baked Potatoes if you haven’t already.) When we go out to eat, it’s almost always to a BBQ restaurant. But when you’re watching your carbs, all those yummy sauces aren’t exactly carb conscious. They’re usually full of sugar or honey or molasses… if you use the sweet sauces, anyway. But this Instant Pot Pulled Pork is low carb friendly and great for tacos, burritos and more. The best part? You can make it in the instant pot instead of letting it slow cook all day. Winner!
