Classic Deli Wraps | Life With Garnish

This classic deli wraps recipe is great for those nights that you just don’t want to cook. I had one of those nights last night. It literally took me about 15 minutes to whip these little delicious bad boys up and pass them around. Served them with a banana, an apple and two store bought…


Chicken Taco Rice

Chicken Taco Rice | Life With Garnish

Have you ever had the Crunchy Taco Hamburger Helper? We have. But not anymore. I created this chicken taco rice recipe for my youngest daughter because (1) that specific flavor of hamburger helper was her favorite, (2)it’s way cheaper to make it homemade-I even use my own homemade taco seasoning- and (3) it only takes…


Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie

Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie | Life With Garnish

Here is a recipe I like to make when I have leftover sweet potatoes.  The recipe (below) has you boiling whole potatoes. You definitely can if you don’t have any leftover but I like to wait until I have already cooked potatoes to make this. Now don’t get me wrong, this sweet potato shepherd’s pie…

Creamy Tomato Soup

Creamy Tomato Soup | Life With Garnish

(This post may contain affiliate links. Visit my disclosure page for a full disclosure.) When I was younger and starting life independent of my parents I had to eat cheap. Canned soup and grilled cheese sandwiches become a necessary meal for about 5 out of the 7 days of the week. And tomato soup was my absolute…


Ground Turkey Stew

Ground Turkey Stew | Life With Garnish

Are you guys tired of recipes that include leftover turkey? I sure hope not because this ground turkey stew is uh-MAY-zing! The thing about the turkey in this recipe is that it doesn’t use your leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Lean ground turkey is what’s in here. Meaning…you can make it anytime you get a hankering for…

Pepperoni Pizza Frittata

Pepperoni Pizza Frittata|Life With Garnish

I like pizza! I mean, I REALLY like pizza! I’m that person that will have pizza for dinner and the next morning get up and eat the leftovers straight from the fridge for breakfast. Because pizza is my favorite food group (yep, it’s in its own food group in my world) I decided to combine…

Mini Tacos

Mini Tacos

Tacos are probably this family’s most favorite meal. And by no means am I kidding! Every time they help me do a menu plan about the only help I get from the kiddos is “we want TACOS!” But sometimes this momma just has to change things up a bit:) If you happened to see my post…


Pizza Cups

PIZZA! IN A CUP! Is AWESOME! So, I was able to pick up 100 wonton wrappers for $1 and my plan for today was to make some raviolis. I love raviolis but I HATE those that come in a can. I’ve been wanting to make some for a while now, but I’ve been promising my…
