I wanted a muffin to rival the big coffee chain, and this beats it, in my honest opinion. A moist pumpkin spice muffin with a luscious cream cheese filling and delicious maple crumb make this a show-stopper. There are a few steps here, but trust me, it's worth it.

Another week's meal prep. I bought two family packs of chicken breasts. A few are marinated in teriyaki for my Asian salads, and a few are marinated in Italian dressing for my Italian salads plus extra for my chicken, apple, and brie quesadillas or grilled cheese I have planned for another meal. The last bit of chicken is sliced up thin for a quick stir fry with cut up broccoli and carrot coins. I am going to defrost my frozen Lasagne and some burger patties and be good to go for the week, plus a head start on salad lunches so I don't derail. I take the shortcuts on the marinades and buy those pre made, but from scratch dressing is where I refuse to skimp. After the chicken is done marinating, I'll broil them this evening and portion out. Homemade Snickerdoodles for the kids rounds out today's prep!

I was craving the empanadas we had in Mexico, and they had a ground beef filling and a corn dough instead of the flour we see out here a lot. This was a TON of work, but I got the masa corn dough to work!!! I'm thrilled with the outcome!

I made 3 really beautiful and healthy dishes today! Paleo lemon honey chicken over veggies, Keto lemon thyme pork Tenderloins over green beans with almonds and blue cheese, and beef with broccoli! All gluten, sugar (but there is some honey), and dairy free with the exception of the sprinkling of blue cheese on pork dish.

I made pizza dough, and then stuffed it with chicken, broccoli, mozzarella, and parmesan and then I rolled it up and baked it up. It's the King Arthur Flour calzone recipe, not it's not a calzone and more of a stromboli/roll up. Either way, it's really delicious and the boys love it.
