Can you believe this weather, you guys? It’s finally here. And my guess is you want to be out enjoying it as much as possible…I know that is the case for me. On top wanting to spend time outdoors things are a little nuts for all of us this time of year with weddings, graduation parties, end-of-school parties and BBQs. Combine them all and it doesn’t leave much time to prepare meals, at least in my house. Continue reading
Alright, friends. We are going to have a little chat. Are you comfy with your grill? Do you use it? I have talked to so many of you lately that are intimidated by the grill and my current mission in life is to make that go away as quickly as possible. Please, all I ask is for you to learn how to start up your grill. Thats it. Thats all you need.
Grilling is a giant time saver for me during these warmer months. You throw your food on for a super quick sear and really, thats it. Starting your grill is the most difficult part and once you have that figured out you’re left with nothing but charred, smokey, fresh flavor for the rest of the season. Think of it as cooking on your stove with a cast iron skillet or really hot pan. Only outside. Can you beat that? I think not. Continue reading
This rice could basically serve as breakfast, dessert or dinner. It’s rich and sweet with a hint of savory…I can’t tell you how well I devour this stuff. Serve it for breakfast instead of oatmeal. Or throw a little ground cinnamon and a tad maple syrup right on top for a healthy, hearty dessert. But for dinner? Aye yaye yaye. It’s the perfect compliment to any meat or veggies from the grill. Mix the smoky grilled taste with this sweet, creamy side and its a match made in heaven. Continue reading
We tend to buy frozen salmon in bulk so with a plethora of it in the freezer I really have to try to be creative when using it; I can only eat so many basic baked, roasted or grilled salmon filets. Sometimes in needs a bit of an “upgrade”, per say. Aside from this awesome chowder, these Pan Roasted Salmon Cakes are a go to for me. They are bright and decadent and pan roasting gives them such a rich flavor; my 3 year old is proof that even non-salmon lovers will go back for seconds. Continue reading
This Roasted Eggplant Caprese is a cinch to throw together for a simple weeknight meal. If you’re a fan of the Caprese Salad you’re going to dig this variation. It’s light but filling and we think it pairs wonderfully with a grilled steak or fish. Continue reading
In honor of Cinco De Mayo I find it only necessary to share with you one of our very favorite “Mexican” recipes. Grilled Chicken Fajitas.
Your belly will think they are as beautiful as your eyes do, friends. Smokey, charred, savory chicken loaded with herbs and spices paired with slightly crisp peppers and onions equal magic on my tastebuds. Continue reading
If you recall this salad, I have a few gym cafe obsessions. They are always fairly healthy options that fill you up in a super tasty way. This Asian Tuna Salad is my take on one of their menu items and its nothing short of delicious. The flavors get better as the salad sits so its perfect for making over the weekend and snacking or lunching on throughout the week. Its savory and sweet and full of fresh flavor. Continue reading
Well, the infamous USB cord has been found. No, my daughter did not throw it in the trash. No, my son did not flush it down the toilet. My third child wonderful husband put it in his briefcase. Because he just assumed it was one of his. All that garbage digging, brain wracking for nothing, friends. Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. So as promised, here is the recipe for the grilled broccolini we are so crazy about around here. Its barely a recipe. It barely takes effort or time. But its tastes so darn yummy. Continue reading
Well, it was bound to happen. I can’t believe this is the first time in 3+ years that something with regard to my camera has gone missing. In an effort to wear my noble parent hat I agreed to let my daughter play “photographer” and carry around the camera bag last night while I was making dinner. I should’ve grabbed the bag from her the minute I saw it in her hand but with grandma and grandpa over, starving, wining toddlers and dinner still in 50 million pieces I decided to ignore it and allow her to play with it. Continue reading
There are recipes like this floating around all over the internet. Slow cooker southwest chicken in all shapes and forms and I’ve tried so many variations. My sister found this recipe on Pinterest and we couldn’t love it more. I added a few spices because heaven forbid I leave any recipe alone (control issues, friends-Im working on it) but in my opinion the smoked paprika is key…so yummy. I’ll be making this over and over again…the more delicious minimal ingredient, throw-in-the-slow-cooker-and-leave-it-alone-all-day recipes I can keep in my back pocket, the merrier, for sure. This chicken makes awesome quesadillas, tacos, salads and so much more. But piled on top of a crispy tortilla (like in this recipe) with spinach and blazing hot salsa is my very favorite way to eat it. Continue reading
