Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! This salad? Life changing…prepare yourself.
You know I love myself a good chop chop. All the bits in one bite. But this salad right here is off the charts. Like, call the bomb squad, friends.
Spro Gard Update
Hi there! I hope you had an amazing weekend…boy did it fly by or what? So much fun, yet so nice to get back to reality.
This quick post is with regard to the CSA some of you may have signed up with through Spro Gard Farm. If you aren’t a local reader and didn’t sign up for the CSA, just disregard this note. Continue reading
Cherry Lime Mojito
Well. I’ve been sitting here pondering what to call this recipe. Picture this: my husband and I are both on the couch. I’ve got the laptop, well, in my lap as it should be, and he is reading Lord knows what on his phone. He looks at me: what are you stuck on? Me: I’m trying to figure out what I should call those drinks. Nick: a summer slurpee?
So, theres a couple of reasons I didn’t go for his suggestion. First off, we certainly don’t run a 7-11 out of my kitchen, as much as I love the thought of that. Second, its not 1987. I didn’t just get back from riding my bike to the gas station up the road to spend all of my hard earned allowance on a cherry icey and Big League Chew. This recipe must never be called a Slurpee of any sort. Lets go ahead and give him an A for effort, but clearly I’m on my own with this one.
Easy Grilled Pork Chops + Pineapple Salsa
Wow, we haven’t chatted for a while, friends. My deepest apologies. We left for a little family reunion late last week and I had every intention of touching base with you while we were on the road. But, you know. A couple of kids, 2 hours of rush hour traffic followed by a 3.5 hour road trip sort of got the best of me. Then, as we were on our way, I thought, you know what, Ill wake up early one day over the weekend and write a quick blog post before everyone rolls out of bed”. Haha. My heart was there, I can assure you of that. Execution, not so much. Continue reading
Butter, Lime + Parmesan Corn
Happy official summer, friends! It’s a much anticipated time here in Minnesota and man can we embrace it. Lakes for days. Warmth. Homegrown produce. BBQs. Patios. Late bedtimes. Smores over a bonfire. Sandy shoes. And CORN.
Let’s just get something straight, for starters. I love Minnesota. Living here is perfect for myself and my family. But I am a gosh darn Iowa girl..and proud of it. 18 wonderful years of my life were spent in Iowa and aside from Hawkeye football…and pork…and so many other fabulous things….that place reigns supreme for homegrown corn. There’s just nothing like it. We ate it so often in the summers…and there were always farmers selling it out of the back of their trucks along the sides of the roads. Hows that for fresh?

Spicy Pickled Radishes
So my guess is that we’ve all experienced pickled veggies of some sort, whether from a food truck putting out stellar street food or topped on an entree at an upscale restaurant. I heart pickled ANYTHING. Zingy is just simply the perfect compliment to so many dishes.
So when I had a fridge full of fresh, gorgeous radishes they were screaming ‘pickle me please!’ And I have eaten an entire jar in one day. Continue reading
One-Pot Southwest Chicken and Rice
Far, far, FAR too often I end up with boneless, skinless chicken breasts in my fridge with no plan in sight. Then, what happens is I avoid them…like the plague. They sort of bore me and man is it easy to fall into ruts of grilling or pasta-ing them. No clue why I continue to put them in my cart at the beginning of the week but I do…likely because they force me to get creative. So the end of the week comes and all I’ve got left in the fridge is those poor little chick-a-dees and a bunch of randomness in the veggie drawer, freezer and pantry to work with. Continue reading
Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Garlic Lime Sour Cream
It’s funny. Sunday, in my brain, is supposed to be for ‘Sunday Meals’. You know, the fancy, time-consuming meals you can’t get accomplished during the week. But rarely does it end up being that way around here. Sunday is typically the day I go out during nap time and get my meal plan/shopping done for the week. It sounds silly, but that little mission takes time, so I am always rushing back home to get dinner on the table before it’s too late. Sunday dinners usually need to be low maintenance and ultra quick for me. And often times that means firing up the grill to throw steak or fish on and often times it’s paired with these Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges. Insanely quick. Continue reading
Greens, Bleu + Peach Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
Peaches are popping up all over the place these days, guys. And man are they tasting amazing. We can’t get enough.
This has sort of been the ‘house salad’ going on in our home lately. It pairs with everything as an amazing side dish. But really…I prefer it alone, all by it’s pretty little self, as the perfect meal. Continue reading
6 Simple, Fun Ways to Get Your Kiddos Involved in the Kitchen
Guys! My mama is here! Like, at my house! And because there is just SO darn many things to accomplish in her short trip here {i.e.: loving on my kiddos, coffee-sipping, staying up too late gabbing, shopping, donuts, playgrounds + parks, you know, all the good stuff} I haven’t had a chance to edit the recipe photos I intended on sharing with you today. But I’ve got something fun, nonetheless. Continue reading
