• How to make shredded chicken in the Instant Pot

    November 8, 2022

    This basic recipe for Instant Pot shredded chicken is as easy as it is delicious. Enjoy it plain or use it as the base for something else, this is sure to be a staple in your fridge and meal prep repertoire.  One of my favorite things to make in the Instant Pot* is shredded chicken. Actually, it’s any kind of chicken because I can throw it into the Instant Pot without having to defrost it first and it comes out perfect every single time.  I also love the chicken broth that’s leftover from each batch of chicken I make in the Instant…

  • Get your lunch on with these easy low-carb Buffalo Chicken Wraps

    November 6, 2022

    Made with 5 simple ingredients, these quick and easy low-carb buffalo chicken wraps are sure to be your go-to for a quick and flavorful lunch (or dinner). Something I struggle with most days is what to have for lunch. I’m usually trying to do a million different things between getting my youngest lunch and having to whisk her upstairs for her nap, so my own eating needs tend to be an afterthought. I know I could do leftovers, but those never really seem appealing in the moment. What’s been saving me lately is making sure to have a batch of plain…

  • Our new favorite meal is Thai chicken lettuce wraps

    September 13, 2022

    These Thai chicken lettuce wraps are our new favorite meal. They are bursting with flavor, have just the right amount of heat (at least for the grown-ups), and are surprisingly low carb with 7g net carbs per serving. I always forget how good lettuce wraps are. They just never are top of mind for me when it comes to dinner or menu planning. So when I stumbled upon a recipe for lettuce wraps from A Pinch of Healthy, I knew it was time to try them again. I also figured there was a good chance that the kids would like them…

  • Make a batch of plain chicken meatballs and you’ll have a quick and easy meal

    September 12, 2022

    If you’re looking for an easy dinner or something to batch cook for lunches, these undressed (AKA plain) chicken meatballs are IT. They are extremely versatile and can be dressed up or down based on your preferences.  One thing I struggle with a lot on the keto diet is lunch. I never want to put in full effort, and after getting lunch ready for the kids I have little energy to do much for myself. So I stand aimlessly in front of the refrigerator for the next 20 minutes trying to figure out what the heck to make for myself.…

  • This sweet potato and beef hash is an easy win

    April 20, 2020

    Delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this sweet potato and beef hash is always a winner in the House of Lev. And with a grand total of three ingredients (YEP, THREE) it truly couldn’t get any easier. Unless, of course, it cooked itself. As we enter into our sixth week of quarantine and six whole weeks of cooking 3 meals a day for 4 people, the only thing I want lately is EASY. And this sweet potato and beef hash fits that bill nicely. With a grand total of three ingredients (YEP, THREE) this couldn’t get any easier. Unless, of course, it…

  • Need a new vinaigrette for those summer salads? Try this clementine vinaigrette.

    July 15, 2019

    Clementine vinaigrette is a super flavorful and light salad dressing that captures the sweet yumminess of clementines beautifully. Perfect for summer salads or as a marinade for chicken or fish. I was tasked with bringing a snack for The Big’s group at camp a few weeks ago and figured that clementines would be a safe bet because they don’t have nuts of any kind, are self-contained, and would be seriously refreshing after playing in the hot sun for a while. The Big seemed to agree with me and signed off on the snack choice. Turns out the kids didn’t agree…

  • Looking for something new to eat? How about some Honey Sriracha Meatballs.

    June 24, 2019

    These honey sriracha meatballs are seriously delicious and easy to make. They take around 30-minutes to make from start to finish, so make for a wonderful weekday meal. That is, if your kids eat stuff like this, because lord knows mine does not. At one point in time (maybe two years ago now), The Kid got super into the idea of meatballs thanks to an episode of Daniel Tiger where they showed an actual kid making meatballs and then eating them. She proceeded to ask me a million and one times to make meatballs so that she, too, could touch…
