This really is the easiest baked tilapia recipe ever. A bold statement, I know. But it’s true. It’s so, so easy, and the kicker is it’s really delicious every time. It’s my all time favorite way to cook tilapia. This recipe is a regular in our rotation because I almost always have these ingredients on […]
Olive oil
Cilantro Jalapeno Bean Dip
I saw this recipe on Rachael Ray’s daytime TV show a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to make it right away. My brother was having a birthday party, which happened to be on St. Patrick’s Day, so I thought this green dip would be a great appetizer to take to the party. My […]
Spinach and Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken
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 […]
Cilantro Lime Rice with Black Beans
I love all Mexican food, but Chipotle is one of my guilty pleasures. It’s just so delicious. One time, I was making some enchiladas and decided to try to replicate their cilantro lime rice. I have to say, I think I did pretty darn good on the first try. The only thing I did differently […]
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 […]
Crispy Baked Kale Chips
You know how sometimes you buy an ingredient for a recipe but then only end up using half of it and then the other half just sits around or goes bad? I’ve found that kale can be one of those things. Wastefulness is one of my pet peeves, whether it’s water, energy, food, whatever. Remember […]
Grilled Sweet Potatoes
It’s officially grilling season! Officially declared by me, that is. We only have a charcoal grill at our house, so if we are going to grill something, it takes a decent time commitment. That’s why if we’re going to go through the trouble to get the grill ready, I usually want to cook as much […]
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 […]
