Turkey and White Bean Chili (SRC)

September 28, 2015 by Amber @ Caleigh's Kitchen 12 Comments

I know I am not alone in this statement, but I am SOOOOO excited and ready for fall. Which in Texas, lasts about an entire week. The concept of fall is pretty much what I mean, cooler temperatures, boots, FOOTBALL (thank the Lord has already begun) and fall food. From pumpkin everything to soups, I love so much about fall foods. I have a go to turkey chili that I usually make during the colder months. While it’s a hit in my house, admittedly I am not a big tomato sauce fan. I’ve been in search of a good white chili for a long long time, just haven’t found one quite up my alley yet.

Raise your hand if you love smoothies!! Who doesn’t? What I love about smoothies is how nutritious they are, and how I can disguise healthy food in and trick my 3 year old into drinking it. She will eat the heck out of fruit, but veggies are tough. She is super duper picky. That is no lie. Her diet mostly consists of grilled cheese, chicken and fruit. Lots and lots of fruit. When I have the chance to get vegetables and greens into her meals without a fight, I take it. A smoothie is really the perfect vehicle to get them into her diet and she get’s excited about it. They’re great for getting fruits and veggies into our diet easily too. Admittedly, I am not a big fruit eater, when I have the chance to drink my fruit it’s much better. I love that you can pack a ton of nutrients into a smoothie. My husband and I have done smoothie week cleanses where we drink a smoothie every morning for breakfast and most dinners….

“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for P.A.N. Cornmeal. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

I have had so much fun exploring with P.A.N. cornmeal in the past couple months. I made some quick and easy, not to mention delicious, empanadas and this Fried Green Tomato Eggs Benedict. It’s really easy to see how versatile the product is across the board and it has become a staple in my pantry. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s already a staple in many pantries in South America. It’s available in our local market now and making it’s way into many pantries in North America as we speak! It’s a product that’s rich in nutrients and the part I like the most, it’s gluten free! Which made me super happy when I found out our last installment of recipes was a Sandwich Takeover….

Cucumber Sandwiches with Hummus Turkey and Cilantro

Even though I’m not a teacher, I’m still a huge fan of summertime. We LOVE being around water. Of course when you live in Texas and temperatures are 100+ everyday who wouldn’t be around the water as much as possible? (I really shouldn’t complain, so far we’ve had a super mild summer!). Be it pool, lake or state park we always stock up on snacks. Everything seems to taste a thousand times better when you’ve been lounging by water all day. This year I’m going to try to keep more healthy options on hand for when we get “snacky”. Complete side note those with kids will appreciate. My 3 year old daughter will not eat anything you call a meal, breakfast lunch or dinner. She will only eat it if you call it a “snack”. Oh and if you do call it anything other than that she will be quick to correct you. Kids are funny….

Easy Weeknight Gluten Free Pasta Dinner

June 5, 2015 by Amber @ Caleigh's Kitchen 4 Comments

I am always on the lookout to add easy dinners for the weeknight rotation. I’m sure everyone here completely understands where I’m coming from. Getting home from a long day of work, or playing taxi service to your kiddos. It needs to be easy after 5. Sometimes I even forget about certain ones then get super excited whenever my husband suggests them again. I especially love ones that are amazingly delicious as well as easy. Some of my personal favorites for weeknight dinners include Turkey Chili, Skinny Crustless Quiche, Crock pot Red Beans and Rice, Dorito Taco Salad…actually I forgot about a couple of these until just now. They will be re-entered into the rotation soon!…

Crab and Avocado Salad with Balsamic Drizzle

May 27, 2015 by Amber @ Caleigh's Kitchen 8 Comments

It’s really hard to find decent seafood in the town I live in. Recently, our local grocery store started to remodel and up the inventory quality and quantity. They FINALLY got jumbo lump crab meat. Like, the real stuff not that orange stick stuff. I’ve been dying to try and recreate an appetizer from one of our favorite restaurants nearby and finally got the opportunity. I modified it a little bit and turned it into an actual salad, but I must say it turned out pretty darn good. Really, it’s pretty hard to go wrong with a combination of crab and avocado.

Gluten Free Stuffed Bell Peppers Topped with Cornbread and Cheese

Sadly when I moved to East Texas I found out there aren’t a lot of good Mexican food options. I have been CRAVING Mexican food lately and I have not satiated that craving. I mean I grew up around San Antonio for pete’s sake. You can find a breakfast burrito the size of your head that is out of this world about every 5 miles. I miss it a lot. There is what I consider to be one of the best Mexican food restaurants around in my small little hometown. Whenever my parent’s come to visit, I always have them bring up tacos for us to freeze and enjoy later. They never quite taste the same as they do fresh, but they’re still pretty darn good. Honestly thinking about them makes me want Mexican food again tonight….

Low Carb Eggs In A Nest

February 25, 2015 by Amber @ Caleigh's Kitchen 4 Comments

Monday we had an “ice day”, which I know most northerners probably find completely ridiculous. It’s seriously sketchy driving on roads that are completely iced over. This might look like pretty snow, but I assure you all I was doing was slipping and sliding. I couldn’t even park all the way up in my in-laws drive way I was sliding so much. Today we had a beautiful snow which was completely beautiful! I’ll share those pictures soon!…
