Hey everybody! It’s Kelly from Life Made Sweeter back again with another easy weeknight dinner! Sheet pan meals have become a big thing around our house in the last few years.

My oven just stopped working. It is always a sad day for someone that uses it quite frequently and loves to bake. Hopefully it will be replaced real soon because I am totally wanting to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies. This is the inner fat pregnant girl talking right now. 🙂 Luckily these delicious squares were easy and also no bake. I had them ready in no time and they sure did satisfy my sweet tooth!...

Risotto Primavera Risotto, a classic Italian favorite known for its creamy texture, is made even more delightful with the addition of crisp, fresh spring vegetables. It’s a perfect blend of the comforting arborio rice with the fresh, vibrant flavors of the season’s produce. Here I served this easy Risotto Primavera as a vegetarian main dish but you can also halve the recipe and portion to serve as a side dish with fish, chicken breast, seafood, and more....

This was my second visit there, but my first with my family and I just can’t say enough great things about this charming beach town. I did a book signing on the porch of Sundog Books and I was really excited to bring my family and friends along for the trip and turn it into a little family getaway. I think I might make this a yearly ritual!

Skinny Cake Pops Some extra fun holiday cake pop ideas are my Rainbow St Patrick’s Day Cake Pops, Skinny Mummy Halloween Cake Balls and Skinny Easter Egg Cake Balls. Today is my daughter Madison’s 3rd birthday! She is having a little birthday party in school and I was asked to bring something that wasn’t too messy. I thought cake pops would be perfect, but then I remembered lollipop sticks and 3 yr olds aren’t such a great idea....

Potatoes are a favorite year round side dish! Try these Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes, Crispy Potatoes with Pesto and Parmesan or Parmesan Garlic Potato Foil Packets for more delicious ways to enjoy potatoes.

Before you think I’ve fallen off my lifelong (21 year old) vegetarian wagon, please allow me to explain that this recipe contains neither spring chicks, nor babies. It does in fact contain spring onions, chickpea flour and baby turnips, so it’s all good. This quick and simple recipe is a great everyday Gujarati favourite in our house and can be made with pretty much any veggies you can think of....

String Beans with Garlic and Oil I was never a fan of string beans until I learned how to cook them properly. Now I love them. The trick is not to overcook them.

Stuffed Baked Pork Chops with Prosciutto and Mozzarella Other pork chop recipes I love are Pork Chops with Dijon Mustard Sauce, Garlic Lime Marinated Pork Chops, and Crockpot Sazon Pork Chops. I ordered a similar dish a few nights ago and loved it so much I made them the next day. The pork chops were on the bone, which would also work but what I loved was how the pork chops were sprinkled with breadcrumbs on top rather than completely breaded, which gave them some texture – exactly what I was craving....

Our family loves Swedish meatballs! You can also try the original Best Swedish Meatballs or try making this Slow Cooker Swedish Meatball version! Swedish meatballs are typically enjoyed over egg noodles or rice. This classic meatball and cream sauce recipe makes enough sauce that it made sense to add pasta right in with the sauce and officially name it Swedish Meatball Pasta. Now, if you want to take this meal from really good to over-the-top amazingly delicious, then you’ll want to knock your own socks off and make some homemade pasta....

Sadly, I already need the heater on in my apartment. I can’t even imagine what December, January and February will look and feel like. 🙁 To keep myself warm I made a big pot of Vegetarian Chili in my Le Creuset. Sometimes I can’t figure out if I’m more excited to make the actual dish or cook the dish using my Le Creuset. There are so many variations of making chili....
