English Muffin Pizza

  New Favorite: English Muffin Pizza


This meal literally takes 5 minutes or less to prepare, and only 5-10 minutes to bake! Dinner in 15 minutes, beat that!

Cut english muffin in half and place on cookie sheet (per person) 
Spread pizza sauce on top.
Sprinkle a little cheese (not too much, or the texture will be too gewy).
Cut pepperoni into smaller pieces and lay evenly. 
Add chopped bell pepper, tomatoes, olives, and whatever else you like on pizza! 
Sprinkle extra cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 5-10 minutes - watch closely until the edges look a little crisp.

We have seriously made this 6 or 7 times in the past month. It's so easy to precut all the veggies and just slap 'em on! It's also incredibly cheap, a little goes a long way. Try it out! Hopefully you'll love it as much as we do :)

Coconut Lime Chicken


This recipe is delicious. Extremely flavorful and somewhat easy. It takes a little bit of time, so if you have busy weekdays, I would suggest making it on a Saturday or Sunday evening. It's completely dairy free and doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterwards! 

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 tsp curry powder
1 14 oz can light or regular coconut milk
1 4 oz. can diced green chiles
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the chicken and garlic and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring for 1 minute, until it is fragrant. Add the coconut milk, chiles, lime juice and zest, bring to a simmer, and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, stir in the green onions and cilantro.  Serve over rice.
