Now you can make butternut squash soup in just half the time in the IP! Quick, easy, velvety smooth and so so cozy.
This is hands down one of my favorite feel-good, soul-warming soups. Loaded with sweet butternut squash, caramelized onions, carrots, celery, Granny Smith apple, garlic, sage and thyme – all topped with crisp bacon bits.
And you can make this soup in just half the time with the help of your Instant Pot®.
With just a quick saute of bacon, you can set that aside to top your soup for serving. From there, you can saute your onions and herbs in all that bacon grease until they get wonderfully fragrant before throwing in the rest of your ingredients. Pressure cook for 12 minutes, boom, done. Add heavy cream and puree with an immersion blender (or blend in batches in a blender).
Top with reserved bacon and an extra drizzle of heavy creamy (if desired). So velvety smooth and so so good.
Yield: 8 cups
prep time: 15 minutes
cook time: 30 minutes
total time: 45 minutes

WW has changed their plan to now include a Blue, Purple and Green Plan. All the recipes on my blog are updated for the Blue plan. I’ve been updating all my recipes (over 2000) and have completed 2019 with the other two colors, and I am working my way down so please be patient.
Meal planning is a great way to organize your meals for the week ahead. You also save time and money in the supermarket! And of course, planning ahead helps you stick to your goals!
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!
Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2019! There was a print error last year, but it’s perfect now! You can order it here!
Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated WW Blue SP for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!
The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.
And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

The classic ham is made with the most incredible maple, brown sugar glaze. With just a few ingredients, this will be a hit with everyone!
Guys, Christmas is seriously in just 1 week!
I know we say this all the time but seriously, where did all the time go? Didn’t we just celebrate Thanksgiving? I’m still working through all my leftover hambone soup by the way. It’s legit the best.
And by the time I finish this batch, I’ll have another hambone to use up with this recipe!
Now this recipe is a super easy, classic baked holiday ham with the most incredible maple, brown sugar glaze. All you need is 6 ingredients for this glaze: maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon, orange zest, fresh rosemary and black pepper.
That’s it. It’s a super short ingredient list.
Just make sure your ham is sitting at room temperature before baking. From there, you can brush that beautiful ham with 1/4 cup of the glaze, and then you can baste that bad boy every 30 minutes, yielding that super sticky, super perfect glazy heaven.
Yield: 12 servings
prep time: 20 minutes
cook time: 2 hours 30 minutes
total time: 2 hours 50 minutes

Strawberry Squares, these delicious baked treats are easy to make, feel free to use your favorite pie filling flavor!
This easy baked dessert is semi-homemade, the cake is made from scratch but it’s filled with canned pie filling. Strawberry is my favorite flavor, but this can be switched up with cherry, apple, apricot, etc.

Authentic Arroz Con Pollo, or Latin chicken and rice, is the ultimate one-pot meal. It’s a classic Colombian dish that I grew up on that I now love to cook for my family.
So many people ask me about my favorite dishes I make at home for my family, and this is certainly one of them! My mom is Colombian, and she used to always cook her version of this dish for me. It’s definitely a family favorite! If you want a lower-carb option, try my Cauliflower “Rice” and Chicken version. You may have also tried my Mom’s Arroz Con Pollo recipe. If so, I know you’re going to love my version!

This easy Breakfast Casserole recipe is made with eggs, spinach, tomatoes and Feta cheese and only takes a few minutes to whip up. You can make it ahead of time, so it’s the perfect breakfast egg casserole for Christmas morning or any day!
My husband Tommy claimed this to be the BEST breakfast casserole recipe he’s ever tasted. In fact, he loved it so much he reheated the leftovers the next morning! What he loved most was the texture of the eggs. They are fluffy and light – almost custard-like thanks to adding a little heavy cream. I’m not a fan of spongy eggs and love the texture of this crustless quiche, so I took inspiration from that recipe.

Homemade gnocchi is easier to make than you think! So light and so pillowy using just 4 ingredients! SO SO GOOD.
Okay, so full disclosure. If you have not made sweet potato gnocchi from scratch, your mind WILL BE BLOWN.
Because homemade gnocchi is way easier to make than you think. And the homemade version is a million times better than the packaged version. BUT if you’re in a pinch, the premade ones will also work just fine here, and should get dinner on the table in just 20 minutes. (There’s absolutely no shame in the packaged ones – I use them all the time myself!)
But if you have some time, you’ll see just how easy this really is. And once your beautiful, pillowy gnocchi bites are ready, they’ll get cooked twice – once in boiling salted water (to make sure they’re cooked through) and a second time to get them nice and crispy. From there, you’ll serve these with foamy, epic brown butter, infused with fresh sage leaves and garlic. SO SO GOOD.
Serve with shaved Parmesan and some glasses of wine.
Yield: 6 servings
prep time: 1 hour
cook time: 1 hour 30 minutes
total time: 2 hours 30 minutes
