Did you know you can make delicious creamy ice cream w/o an ice cream maker? The base of this ice cream is just 2 ingredients & if you add just a few simple ingredients you could make this Churro S’mores No-Churn Ice Cream! I used churro (yes churro) marshmallows by @Snackapade

[Real Food Happy Home @RealFoodHappy1]

So I’m just gonna say our s’mores game was strong this weekend thanks to @smashmallow churro marshmallows. Holy heck, friends...they create the most perfect caramelized creme brûlée s’more. I highly recommend you give this a try at some point this summer! Yum! I want more!!!

Looking for a quick and easy healthyish dessert? My Easy Fruit Tart is THE perfect Spring/Summer dessert. It’s beautiful, simple to make, gluten free, and contains mostly natural sweeteners. https://t.co/XCLpz5JNFN

Chile Rellenos Casserole (working on a post) topped with shredded salsa chicken made in my @cosoricooks pressure cooker! Added diced avocados, a dollop of Greek yogurt, queso fresco, homemade pickled red onions and garnished with cilantro and scallions. #realfood #tacotuesday

Homemade burrito bowls...This meal is perfect to make ahead & assemble as needed. Rice, roasted chicken, caramelized onions, pickled red onions, guac, roasted corn, roasted mushrooms and brussels, diced tomatoes. Bowls are the best because you can just add what you have on hand!

Have you ever made your own tortilla chips? They’re so easy & delicious! They’re baked not fried, but still super crunchy & gluten free if you use GF corn tortillas! Give this recipe a try! A perfect vehicle for homemade salsa or guac!

Buttermilk is key to a good waffle or pancake but who has buttermilk on hand-like ever? Did you know you can easily make buttermilk w/ 1 TBSP lemon juice (or white vinegar) to 1 cup milk? Sit for 5 min and you’re good to go. This hack changed my pancake game for the better! 🥞☕️

Celebrating Taco Tuesday with Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas! B/c meat & veggies cook at different rates, I always cook the chicken (w/ Mexican spices) on a separate sheet pan. A link for perfectly roasted chicken breasts is on the blog! This meal is so quick and easy!

Holy heck this was tasty! Turkey meatballs over roasted potatoes & roasted green beans w/ a schmear of homemade Romesco Sauce. Inspired by a @pinchofyum dish! I used my Oven Roasted (Bacon Fat) Potatoes recipe (which can be made with just olive oil). https://t.co/73LB3TlJWk

Craving a sweet treat but trying to eat more healthfully? These gluten free black bean brownies by @ChocCoveredKt are ah-mazing! We added a small scoop of vanilla ice cream bc why not? The 1/2 cup chocolate chips also add indulgence! So. Much. Yum!

[Real Food Happy Home @RealFoodHappy1]

This easy black bean & corn salad is a perfect side. Steam a bag of corn (pop in fridge & prep rest of the ingred), add a can of black beans, tomatoes & scallions. I used a sprinkle of @TajinUSA & @bolthousefarms Cilantro Avocado Yogurt dressing! It’s drinkable 😬

This is just a “never lets you down” 30 minute meal from @rachaelray Brown butter pierogies with kielbasa, sautéed sauerkraut and kale. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of scallions and you’re ready to indulge! #realfood #comfortfood #pierogies

Saturday morning #pancakes! These orange ricotta pancakes with fruit medley is a surefire way to start the weekend. We usually do lemon ricotta but my son doesn’t like lemon (weirdo, I know). These were awesome! #breakfast #realfood

[Real Food Happy Home @RealFoodHappy1]

Yay Friday! When you just unapologetically need to house a burger! We don’t really eat fast food but @shakeshack is the closest we come. They are just soooo good! Happy Weekend, Friends! #Friyay #burgers #comfortfood

My husband is the bread baker in our family. He uses natural levain which is a sourdough starter (natural yeast). Some starters can be passed down from generation to generation and we hope to keep ours alive for many years to come! #bread #realfood #organicfood #artisanfood
