Bourbon Bacon BBQ Chicken Kebabs Recipe We just got a new grill and I knew the first thing I cooked on it had to be something worthy. Since this recipe combines the glorious tastes of bourbon, bacon, and bbq sauce, I thought it fit the bill. You may be looking at the photos and saying, “Hey, where’s the bacon??” Well, the bacon in this recipe is actually made in to a delicious paste that you then coat the chicken with before grilling. Whoa. Who even knew bacon paste was a thing? After making these kebabs, I’m pretty sure everything should be covered in bacon paste before cooking! INGREDIENTS 8 oz barbecue sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray’s) 1/8 cup bourbon 2 lbs chicken breast 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon ground white pepper ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon onion powder 2 tablespoons paprika 3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 6 slices uncooked bacon, cut into small pieces INSTRUCTIONS Light the grill and heat to medium-high In a small bowl, combine t...

CHEESY EGG CASSEROLE FOR PERFECT BREAKFAST Cheesy Egg Casserole is the perfect baked eggs recipe for brunch! This buttery, easy breakfast casserole is full of cheese and spices, and because it’s vegetarian, everyone can enjoy it. If you’re looking for the perfect brunch egg recipe, THIS IS IT. It’s a family favorite and it’s so easy – it comes together in minutes. None of my family are huge egg lovers, but we devour this breakfast casserole, so you know it has to be good. This recipe is super easy, which is a requirement for any brunch menu of mine. I refuse to spend time on Christmas or Easter morning (or any random day, for that matter) cooking over the stove . The eggs get their body and rise from a combination of flour and baking powder. Then you add double the cheese: cottage cheese and 2 full cups of your favorite cheese. I use mozzarella most often because I think it pairs well with the Italian seasoning. Now, if you’re freaked out about cottage cheese, don’t be. I know it freak...

ZUCCHINI TOMATO ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP This Zucchini Tomato Italian Sausage Soup is a delicious way to use up all of those fresh garden vegetables! Now, I know that some of you may be thinking that a hot soup is the last thing you’d think about cooking in the middle of the summer – and I totally get that. But we make and eat soups all year long – especially when they are as delicious as this Zucchini Tomato Italian Sausage Soup. In fact, we love the convenience of cooking up a big pot of this soup, then reheating leftovers in the microwave for a light, quick meal. ZUCCHINI TOMATO ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP RECIPE This Zucchini Tomato Italian Sausage Soup is a delicious way to use up all of those fresh garden vegetables!

DELICIOUS GREEN SMOOTHIE Breakfast Bars, DRINKS, Fruit, Smoothy Drink, Sweet Drink, VEGETARIAN This simple Green Smoothie started off as an attempt at making my own version of something I enjoy from one of Australia’s most popular smoothie stores. Except, I make it in half the time and I’m not a scowling teenage attendant who looks like she’d rather be washing public restrooms than standing in front of a counter taking smoothie orders. I digress… anyway, my super healthy Green Smoothie is Vegan and loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables like Pineapple, Spinach, Banana, Kiwi, Green Grapes, and then blended with some Coconut Water and Ice. It makes 2 servings at a measly 95 calories each, so I guess it can also be considered a wealth loss smoothie. I made this delicious Green Smoothie recipe in my Vitamix in under a minute, but fret not if you don’t have a blender – you’ll still be able to make this by placing all your ingredients on the floor and then stomping on them – but I warn you...

BANANA BREAKFAST BARS Banana Breakfast Bars are an easy breakfast or snack with real ingredients and flavor. They’re a copycat of the bars you buy, but homemade so they’re better for you and cheaper too! Don’t believe in the word “diet”. I’ve done so many diets and they all fail, which ultimately leads me to feeling bad about myself. For me it’s about lifestyle: exercise, portion control, making good choices, and satisfying cravings (within reason). The one thing I can’t limit? My after workout snack. And breakfast. I need breakfast, and after my workout I need to eat. That’s where these breakfast bars come in. BANANA BREAKFAST BARS RECIPE An easy, fast, healthy breakfast or snack!

Eggs in Clouds For Breakfast If the name isn’t enough to catch your attention the taste of this will. It’s called eggs in clouds for a reason. Stiff white peaks from whipped egg whites mixed with a happy marriage of crumbled bacon, cheese and chives form the base of this wonderful, wonderful creation. It’s puffy. It’s dreamy.

Maple Caramel Bacon Crack  In another, a man walks to his car to find the ominous note tucked under his wiper blades. You’ll have a heart attack tomorrow, it reads. Instead of wondering what kind of sadistic freak would be leaving creepy natural-causes death notes on his Jetta, this dude just heads on home and picks up the convenient bottle of Bayer sitting on the counter next to the flour and takes a handful while smiling. I’m assuming since the Bayer has a regular place on the counter that these freaky notes probably happen frequently. “Awh, crap, babe, I got another heart attack note! Better take the Bayer!” Highly addictive, sweet, smoky and SO easy, this Maple Caramel Bacon Crack is your one-way ticket to flavortown. The four simple ingredients are probably in your pantry right now! Once you go bacon crack, you can't go back.

HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN AND VEGGIES  The easiest one pot recipe ever. Simply throw everything in and that’s it! No cooking, no sauteeing. SO EASY! Rain or shine, winter or summer, slow cookers are meant to be used 365 days of the year, and it comes in really handy when you move into a new home and you have no idea if the oven/gas range is working yet. Seriously. We have been living in our new home for less than a week and I have yet to test out the stove. But my slow cooker never fails me, especially in this glorious one pot meal, packed with the most flavor-packed chicken thighs and three different kinds of veggies. I highly recommend using if you decide to broil the chicken at the very end to help crisp up the skin. But this is a completely optional step so if you decide to skip this, it is best to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts). You can’t go wrong either way! SLOW COOKER HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN AND VEGGIES INGREDIENTS: 8 bone-in, skin-on ...

BEST EVER MEATLOAF RECIPE This Meatloaf Recipe is my family’s FAVORITE dinner recipe! It really is the Best Ever Meatloaf, and it is incredibly easy to make. So much flavor packed inside with a delicious glaze spread on the top! I have so many great dinner recipes that I never share here on Yummy Healthy Easy. Honestly, shame on me. I should be sharing these super, incredibly easy recipes with you! I guess I feel like not sharing them for a few reasons: The recipes in question are done a hundred times and not new, fresh recipes. I think they’ll be hard to photograph (brown food is my enemy  ) I wonder if the recipes are so easy that maybe they can’t be really a recipe.  So there you have it. These are the true reasons I don’t share some of the staple recipes that I feed my family on a regular basis. Let’s be honest, meatloaf recipes are hard to photograph! I’ve only posted these adorable Mini Meatloaves because they’re cute and small and not as hard to photograph. But I LOVE m...

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies {grain-free} These cookies will satisfy any chocolate chip cookie craving you have! We love keeping them in the freezer and eating them cold straight out of the freezer. Great to have around when you’re craving something sweet! I have attempted several almond flour chocolate chip cookies and finally found a winner! These cookies are slightly crispy on the outside and moist and soft on the inside. My friends and family loved these! With this recipe you can easily switch up the chocolate chips and nuts to your preferences. Chocolate chip cookies really are one of life’s simple pleasures. Few things are more comforting than a warm, freshly-baked cookie with a glass of cold milk (almond milk in my case). As with many other cookie recipes, I usually make a batch of dough, then bake half and freeze the other half. To freeze the dough, form it into mounds and place them on a cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer. Once the dough is frozen you can...

TURTLE CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE This Turtle Chocolate Layer Cake is a super moist chocolate cake filled with caramel icing, pecans and chocolate ganache. It’s delicious and the perfect cake for today. Today I’m celebrating the life of a blogging friend, Joan from Chocolate, Chocolate and More, who was taken from this world much too soon just last week. It also just happens to be National Chocolate Day, which is a fitting day for a woman who loved chocolate as much as Joan. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. One of my favorite parts about blogging is the wonderful other bloggers I’ve met and become friends with. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes of a blog and having the support of others who understand it and become friends is a blessing. Joan is one of the wonderful bloggers I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friend with over the last few years. She lived just 2 hours away from me, with Atlanta right in the middle. The first time I met her was for lunch with a...
