PIN the Mushroom Feta Breakfast Casserole to try it later.

This favorite Mushroom and Feta Breakfast Casserole is a recipe I’ve made over and over through the years! And if I had to choose out of all the breakfast casseroles on my blog, this would probably be my pick. There’s something about the combination of mushrooms and feta that sounds like a perfect breakfast to me. And recently I decided this recipe needed new photos, so today I’m happy to share the new-and-improved pictures.

This recipe has been super popular through the years. It’s also a sentimental favorite because I’ve made it for quite a few guests, both at my house in Salt Lake and the one in Bountiful. I’ve even made this for some food blogger houseguests, and it always got good reviews.

The original version made 10 servings, and you can see that printer-friendly recipe back in the archives. But even though this keeps at least a week in the fridge and reheats well, a few years back I switched to this smaller version that makes six servings. That’s the size I make most often now, and probably the one most people will want.

I’ve made this through the years without many changes, which is rare for me! I confess I do sometimes use a bit more Feta than the recipe calls for. But Feta Cheese has barely any carbs, so that’s not too much of a splurge. If you like mushrooms and Feta Cheese, I hope you make this Kalyn’s Kitchen classic immediately if you haven’t tried it.

PIN Mediterranean Beef Stew to try it later!

This Mediterranean Beef Stew is a recipe that’s been super popular on my website. But now that beef is so much more expensive, this dish might be too much of a budget splurge for some people. If you’d like to see my thoughts on making a delicious version of this stew with less beef, see those ideas below.

And however you adapt the ingredients, this Mediterranean Stew interesting flavors is a dinner that can cook all day in the slow cooker! Start this mid morning and by dinner time it will be ready to go. If you’ll be gone all day, just do advance prep the night before and refrigerate ingredients overnight in a plastic container. Then in the morning put the cold ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook all day while you’re out.

You can also make this tasty stew on the stove if you prefer that method. And no matter how you switch it up, this stew is loaded with flavor from mushrooms, onion, garlic, beef, tomatoes, rosemary, olives, capers, and balsamic vinegar. I hope you try it soon!

Click here to PIN Roasted Spicy Cauliflower!

Roasted cauliflower season is here! And this Roasted Spicy Cauliflower is a recipe I loved from the first time I made it. Then a few years ago it got popular on Pinterest, so I updated the photos. And since then this has been one of my favorite side dishes featuring spicy cauliflower!

The original recipe simply called for red pepper flakes, and I had a few different types. But when I updated the photos I was excited to use the Aleppo Pepper that a fellow blogger introduced me to many years ago. Now Aleppo Pepper is something I always have on hand. But use any spicy red pepper flakes you prefer if you don’t have Aleppo Pepper. 

And it’s obvious that I’m a roasted cauliflower fan, isn’t it? I think any kind of vegetable baked on a sheet pan is the perfect winter side dish. If you like the idea of spicy cauliflower, this might become one of your favorite ways to cook it. I hope you try the recipe!

PIN Pumpkin Apple Crumble to try it later.

It’s time to be cooking with pumpkin! So I’m reminding you about this Low-Sugar Pumpkin Apple Crumble for my Friday Favorites pick this week. This is definitely one of the favorite things I’ve made with pumpkin. The crumble dessert with apple and pumpkin was so good, and when I tested the recipe it was a hit with several family members who tried it!

And this interesting recipe can be made with fresh sugar pumpkin or butternut squash.  You might be surprised how much the butternut squash tastes like pumpkin when it’s cooked in a dessert!

This Pumpkin Apple Crumble can’t be completely low-carb or sugar-free because of natural sugar in the apples. But I bet this might not be as much of a splurge on carbs as you think. If you prefer a sugar-free dessert, check below for some sugar-free desserts with pumpkin. I hope you enjoy trying the pumpkin recipes!

PIN the Greek Chicken Bowls to make it later!

Slow Cooker Greek Chicken Bowls are a recipe idea that shows my love for Cauliflower Rice used in a bowl meal! And I especially love it in this recipe where the cauliflower rice gets a flavor boost from lemony Greek chicken and a Greek salsa mixture. This is a perfect crock pot dish to start in the afternoon on a busy day.

The Greek chicken cooks in the slow cooker for about 3 hours on high. When it’s time for dinner you make the cauliflower rice, chop the Greek salsa ingredients, and assemble the bowl meal. You’ll love how the dressing from the Greek Salad topping flavors the cauliflower rice.

And you can also make this a cook-once/eat-twice slow cooker recipe. The leftover chicken from the first meal can be stored in the fridge for a few days.Then just reheat the chicken, chop up Greek salsa ingredients, and make cauliflower rice and you’ve got dinner again.

Or you can make this tasty Greek chicken in the Instant Pot if you prefer that. Whichever cooking method you choose, I hope you try this recipe soon!

PIN Instant Pot Pumpkin Soup to try it later!

Instant Pot Pumpkin Soup is a pumpkin recipe that my niece and cooking assistant Kara and I both absolutely loved! For a long time neither of us were huge pumpkin fans. But for the last few years we’ve made a some pumpkin recipes we both really enjoyed. This recipe happened after I became intrigued with the idea of making creamy pumpkin soup in the Instant Pot!

Our first attempt was not a keeper, but we persevered! And we both absolutely SWOONED over the soup recipe I’m sharing with you here, and this savory pumpkin soup ended up being such a bit hit on the blog. Now I’ve made it quite a few times for friends, and my friends love it too!

And pumpkin season is here, so today I’m urging you to try this savory pumpkin soup if you’re even the slightest fan of pumpkin! This has a lot of lower-carb ingredients balancing out the pumpkin, so I bet it’s lower in carbs than you think. And the Instant Pot Pumpkin Soup recipe makes a big pot of soup, and I happily ate my leftovers two nights in a row and loved it each time! I hope you enjoy it too.

PIN Balsamic Butternut Squash with Rosemary to try it later!

Balsamic Butternut Squash with Rosemary has been one of my favorite fall and winter side dishes for many years! Butternut squash is something I learned to love at a young age from my grandmother Denny. She’d wrap the cut pieces of squash in foil and roast it on what she called a cookie sheet.

Then grandma would mash the squash with lots of butter, salt, and pepper. Of course that tasted great, and Grandma Denny made it often with the butternut squash from her garden.

Now I’d skip the foil and make this  easy roasted butternut squash on a baking sheet when the butternut squash craving hits me. And this easy Balsamic Butternut Squash never fails to please my tastebuds. Plus, this recipe is about as easy as it gets for a healthy side dish. I hope you try the recipe and love it like I do!

PIN the Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers to make it later!

Roasted Italian Sausage and Mini Peppers Sheet Pan Meal is a recipe that seems perfect for this time of year when you’re starting to use the oven. And if you know me (or have followed my blog for a while) you know how much I love the flavors in this easy dinner. Italian sausage and mini peppers are two ingredients I’ve used over and over on the blog!

I think this recipe for sheet pan sausage and peppers is about as easy as it gets for a quick low-carb dinner. And if you’re never tried cooking the mini sweet peppers, you’ll love how flavorful they get when they’re roasted! If you’re also a fan of these ingredients of mine, I hope you try this recipe!

PIN Kale and Arugula Salad to make it later!

My fondness for salads with strongly-flavored greens paired with cheese is pretty well-documented on the blog. I’ve shown it with recipes like My Favorite Baby Arugula Salad, Arugula Salad with Feta, and Lemon Parmesan Kale Salad. So of course I love this Kale and Arugula Salad with Gorgonzola cheese!

But I know this salad with two types of greens and an assertive cheese may not be for everyone. You can make the salad with just one type of greens if you prefer, which is how I first made it when I created the recipe. But we loved the combination when we tested this new recipe with double greens. And dark leafy greens are loaded with health benefits!

For people who like these flavors this will be an extra healthy salad option that’s delicious and extra low in carbs! And personally I think Kale and Arugula Salad is a perfect side dish for a low-carb Fall meal!
