We eat a lot of chicken at our house, so I’m always looking for a new way to cook it. Stuffing chicken breasts is a great way to do something different and it appears fancy, but it is really not that hard. Added bonus – you can mix up the ingredients with different things you […]
Main dishes
Fish Tacos with Roasted Corn and Avocado Salsa
The first time I heard about fish tacos was probably about five years ago, and my immediate thought was “gross!” Fish and tacos just did not sound like something that should be put together. Ever. But the more I got into cooking, and the more my palate’s horizons began to expand, the more okay I […]
Grilled Chicken with Plum Salsa
I officially have spring fever. When it starts to get nice outside, I immediately want to break out the grill, which we did last weekend. I don’t know about you, but I sometimes feel like I get in a grilling rut, doing the same things every time. We were having some family members over, and […]
Everything But the Kitchen Sink Vegetable Soup
It’s soup time again! I told you I’ve been obsessed with soup this year. In my previous Salsa Stoup post, I mentioned a soup chock full of vegetables with pesto in it. Well, wait no more. As promised, here is the veggie soup recipe. It’s extremely healthy because it’s basically all veggies with some herbs […]
Southwest Skillet Scramble
On weekends, Tim and I like to put together different variations of skillet scrambles using different meats, veggies, and cheeses. They are so quick and easy, made all in one pan, and you can make them millions of different ways. Tim loves eggs, so he’d eat them any which way. I decided to put something […]
Grown Up Grilled Cheese
You may have noticed recently I added a “Recipes” tab to the blog. If you haven’t, go ahead, take a look. I’ll wait. Ok, did you see it? Pretty cool, huh? Well, it may not seem that exciting to you, but it’s pretty exciting to me because I figured out how to link the recipes […]
Tortellini with Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Tortellini is one of those foods that I have a hard time stopping eating once I start. There’s something about the little cheese filled pasta that I just love so much. I don’t normally talk brands on here, but there’s this one particular type of tortellini that I find especially intoxicating – Cheese & Spinach […]
A Meal Fit For a Birthday
I mentioned in a previous post (about a certain delicious oatmeal cake) that my mom recently had a birthday. We all went down to my parents’ house and spent the weekend there to celebrate. Tim, my sister-in-law, Jill, and I cooked my mom a super special birthday lunch. Since I was deemed the project manager, […]
Butternut Squash Soup
There are a lot of good pre-packaged soups out there, but there’s nothing quite like making soup from scratch. This butternut squash soup is flavorful and creamy, full of hidden vegetables, and is light because it does not have any cream! This recipe makes enough soup for Tim and I to eat it a couple […]
Turkey Burger Sliders
Let’s just admit it. Burgers are delicious. I mean, who doesn’t love a good, juicy, savory burger all smothered in melty cheese once in a while? Ok, so I’m sure there are people out there who don’t, but I’m not one of them. Sliders take the delicious, satisfying burger and add in a little fun […]
