Stuffed Acorn Squash with Sausage
Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors of my Stuffed Acorn Squash with Sausage recipe. This cozy winter dish features perfectly roasted acorn squash, and a filling of succulent Italian chicken sausage, sautéed onions, a vibrant trio of bell peppers, garlic, sage, and a touch of sweetness from dried cranberries. This perfect blend of delicious ingredients makes a hearty and scrumptious meal that cooks in about 30 minutes. And, this main dish recipe can easily be made vegetarian!
Chicken Dijon (Poulet Dijonnaise)
Chicken Dijon (aka: Poulet Dijonnaise, or Poulet à la Moutarde) is a traditional French dish from the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. Chicken breasts are pan seared, then bathed in a shallot, wine, and mustard cream sauce that is simmered with garlic and herbs. The tender chicken and rich, unctuous sauce will have you coming back for more. Delicious with my Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Garlicky Green Beans (Haricot Verts). This recipe is also keto and gluten free!
Turkey Feta Burger
Our Turkey Feta Burger recipe is moist and packed with Mediterranean ingredients. Greek-style feta cheese, herbs, green onions, and garlic give this burger tons of flavor. This healthy turkey burger is grilled, then nestled between whole grain burger buns, and accompanied with your choice of toppings. Our favorites condiments for this Turkey Feta Burger are our Healthier Lemon Mint Aioli, baby arugula, tomatoes, country Dijon mustard, and our Quick Pickled Onions. Without the bun, this recipe is keto friendly!
Salmon Piccata
Our Salmon Piccata is absolutely mouthwatering! Pan seared salmon is perfectly cooked, then bathed in a wine, butter & garlic sauce to create a melt-in-your-mouth worthy one pan main dish. Made right in the same pan as the salmon, the piccata sauce is filled with yummy ingredients like white wine, lemon, garlic, and capers. The salmon is then bathed in the buttery sauce to make it deliciously moist, and will leave you wanting more! This recipe is also keto friendly.
