Gratifying Grub

A recipe on social media stopped my scroll recently, and I don't say that lightly because I'm not a big pasta girlie. But this one looked SO good.

This recipe came about when someone was telling me about the “Jennifer Aniston” salad. When I did a little research it looks like we really don’t know if JA was the original creator and there have been so many variations. Anyway, I took a few ideas from it and “Erinified” them as I like to call it and voila! This is a super easy (pretty much just chop and assemble!), filling, and macro friendly recipe that I’m totally obsessed with at the moment! I’ve honestly never been a b

Traditional sloppy joes are oh so delicious but usually pretty high in sugar and fat. Most recipes have ketchup and brown sugar and are made with beef that is higher in fat than we will use here. Using a leaner ground beef (I typically recommend 90% or above for most recipes) and one magic ingredient you’ll find these sloppy joes are full of flavor and have NO added sugar! My favorite way to serve these is stuffed inside of a sweet or white potato where the insides have been

We've all had baked ziti before, right? It's a cheesy and hearty but not something I would consider a light option.
