Strawberry Cacao Energy Balls (or hearts!)

When you just happen to have a heart-shaped cake pop mold that you got on clearance for like a quarter last year, and you just happen to have heart paper straws (i.e. the best pop sticks ever), then you make v-day themed energy pops!  With strawberry and cacao!

Stuffed Pepper Soup with Cauliflower Rice

This soup is thick and hearty like a chili, and has all of the good parts of a stuffed pepper, but in a bowl!  To make it paleo and Whole30, I subbed in cauliflower rice (instead of white rice or brown rice which is in the original recipe).  I also cut out the junk-filled canned tomato soup and replaced it with straight up tomato sauce.

Turkey Reuben Casserole

I used to think I hated rye bread.  And when I was a little kid, I wouldn't touch sauerkraut with a ten foot pole.  But these days, I love a good reuben sandwich.  I recreated the classic into a casserole, using turkey since that's what I had on hand.  And don't skip the caraway seeds -- they give it that signature rye-bread flavor.

Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Marinara Sauce

You know what I love?  Crock pot recipes.  Specifically, crock pot recipes that make a HUGE batch (so you can freeze leftovers), and even better if they cook for something like 9+ hours so they can cook allllll day while I'm at work!  This recipe checks all of those boxes, and it's also healthy and super easy!
