Main Dishes with all homemade ingredients so you can make healthy meals from scratch.
You can’t go wrong with bacon, lettuce, and tomato! Add some chipotle mayo and you have an easy Chiptole BLT wrap for a summer picnic meal that everyone will love. This Chipotle BLT wrap is simple but incredibly delicious. I’ve made them for a lot of different gatherings, and they are always the first thing...
The Best Pizza Sauce is a big claim. The “Best” sauce really does vary depending on taste. Some people like their pizza sauce sweet, while others like theirs overflowing with oregano and garlic. Some like less sauce so that the other flavors are balanced and accentuated (me), while others would rather their pizza swimming in...
A lot of people around where I live eat stuffed peppers. There’s a Polish American version that doesn’t use marinara sauce, but instead uses cabbage and rice mixed into the beef. We have a lot of relatives who make this type of stuffed peppers at family gathering. I did not grow up eating stuffed peppers...
I had to say it is the Best Salmon Rub Recipe…because it just is. My husband found a salmon rub recipe about 15 years ago and decided to change it up. He added a little bit more of this, less of that, and completely new ingredients as well. Our friends started calling it “Matthew’s Delight”....
This is a golden recipe that I shared a few years ago. It was worth updating and sharing with you again. Enjoy one skillet meals with this meat and potatoes recipe. It’s important for me to keep dinner simple most nights. I like to cook, but I’d rather be with my family doing other things...
In my house, we call this Chicken Turmeric Leek soup by a few different names. My son calls it Green Soup (not sure why since it’s not really green), while my other kids call it The Cure All Soup. And for good reason! There is so much goodness all in one pot, that this soup...
I like to share with you our house favorites. Well, this is one of them! The title is a mouth full, but I didn’t know what to call them except for what they are….baked honey and brown sugar BBQ chicken wings. You don’t have to BBQ chicken wings outside to have that amazing flavor. I...
I am officially becoming the Queen of One Skillet Meals. Yes, that is a self assigned title, but I just love the simplicity of throwing things into one skillet. Why? Speed, less work, and less cleanup! This One Skillet Turmeric Beef with Vegetables is an easy family favorite. Easy for me, favorite for everyone. Not...
How can I have a blog that involves all of our homemade recipes, and not include an authentic African recipe? After all, I grew up in southern Africa and my favorite meals where eating traditional foods my friends and family made. This is a recipe that my kids ask for every other week at least....
If you grow pumpkins then you know that even one pumpkin can give you pounds of pureed pumpkin in the freezer. I wanted to have more ideas for fixing and eating pumpkins, so I decided to ask some friends how they eat pumpkins: Thus, 77 Pumpkin Recipes… and Counting! A lot of us have those...
We’re still keeping it real over here at the Simple Life Mom household. Part of that means creating healthy meals with real food ingredients that are quick and easy so that we don’t feel bogged down or overwhelmed and end up eating out. This easy, dairy free White Chicken Chili Recipe is great for a...
This end of the garden vegetable beef soup recipe is a lot like what my mom used to call “Left-Over Soup”, because you basically take what you have in the refrigerator, add a few things from the cupboard, and there you go: an amazing, healthy, and delicious soup filled with delicious food that might have...
I think my kids could eat pizza every single day. They have all in one day eaten pizza for lunch at our home school co-op, had pizza for supper (because I didn’t eat any for much so I wanted to make some for dinner) and then had leftover pizza the next day. This one skillet...
The title gluten free zucchini pizza and More seemed fitting since most people who grow zucchini have zucchini and more! I love growing zucchini with small children. It’s a vegetable that the kids can pick from the garden every few days once it starts to get ready. To keep up with the bounty, you’ll need...
This Chipotle Burrito Copycat Recipe happened by accident. It’s one of those cooking accidents that makes you stop and grab the notepad quickly so you can write down what you did so you can hopefully do it again. I was going to make a rice dish, but I didn’t have a lot of chicken to...
