If you are like me, then you are finally fully getting to the fall season. I have lost sixty pounds and since I don't want to back track my progress, but still want to enjoy all things autumn, I am sharing three pumpkin spiced protein-packed recipes that are perfect for you to continue enjoying fall.
As a busy mom, I’m always looking for ways to serve hearty, budget-friendly meals that don’t require hours in the kitchen. Between working, raising kids, and managing the everyday chaos that comes with parenting, I need recipes that are both comforting and convenient. That’s why I love this Slow Cooker Venison Tenderloin recipe.
This meal has become a staple in our home, especially during the colder months when comfort food just hits differently. It's rich, savory, and perfect for those evenings when you want something satisfying but don’t have the energy to hover over a stove. You can even set it and forget it before school pickup or afternoon activities and come home to a house that smells like you’ve been cooking all day!
As soon as the leaves start turning and there’s a crisp breeze in the air, I find myself reaching for my slow cooker more and more. There’s just something comforting about walking through the door to the smell of dinner already simmering, especially when your day has been packed with school drop-offs, after-school chaos, work deadlines, and that never-ending mountain of laundry.
If you’re looking for a hearty, low-effort meal that feels like a warm hug after a busy day, this Crockpot Chop Steak recipe is it. It’s one of our go-to dinners during fall and winter, not only because it’s incredibly simple, but also because it checks every box for a family-friendly, budget-conscious, flavorful meal.
I have been told that I need to get my gallbladder removed so I have been researching low fat dinner ideas and testing them out with the family to see what we all will enjoy before the big day. This is a low carb recipe as well, so if you are still doing keto then this is a great lunch or dinner option. I didn't care for keto and my gastroenterologist said it is one of the worst diets out there. I have known people to lose a large amount of weight with it but do what you will with that knowledge.
This recipe uses liquid aminos instead on soy sauce. While both liquid aminos and soy sauce contain sodium, added salt makes soy sauce's sodium content higher. As far as taste goes, they're pretty similar. Liquid aminos are less salty, milder, and slightly sweeter. Some people say liquid aminos taste closer to tamari (a sauce made from fermented soybeans) than soy sauce. There are some great benefits to using liquid aminos instead, but soy sauce is still the more budget friendly option. This is packed with protein and a one pan meal that is so fun to make.

I have been working on making sure my recipes are in video form for you all to more easily enjoy and gradually uploading them on my Instagram and YouTube. Our go to dinner recipes usually includes chicken. These aren't necessarily recipes on how to cook chicken or different ways to cook chicken, but recipes that include chicken as an ingredient.

When I was going through my chicken recipes, I realized that there were a few that I hadn't made in a while. So, recreating them for videos was super fun because we got to eat the results! What are your go to dinner recipes? What are your favorite recipes that you like to make with chicken? Please tell me in the comments below and don't forget to follow me on social media for more.
