With it being summertime now, the last thing I want to do is stand in front of my oven or stove and cook hot food. So, I tend to cook foods that are quick to make while still being healthy. I think this is why I tend to make a lot of pasta dishes in […]
Dinner
Spaghetti & Turkey Meatballs
Spaghetti & meatballs, a true classic. Who doesn’t love this dish? It’s actually my all-time favorite meal, except made with turkey instead of beef/mixed meats. If someone gave me a choice of any food in the world, this would be it! I think I might have passed this down to my kids as well because […]
Homemade Rice Balls
Every now and again, we have some leftover rice that just sits in our fridge. I absolutely hate letting food go to waste so I tend to look for ways to remake food in new ways, even after it has been made. Anyone else do this?! Rice is such a good reusebable food because it […]
Shrimp Pesto Spaghetti
Good morning, friends! Hope everyone has been having a great week! Today I wanted to share a dinner I make regularly, but haven’t really ever posted about here. It’s a freezer/pantry dinner that comes together quickly when I’m short on time and haven’t had time to plan out a dinner. It’s a shrimp pesto spaghetti […]
Chicken Sausage & White Bean Skillet
Last week, I was doing our weekly shop and cannellini beans (white kidney beans) were on crazy sale. So, I snatched up 10 boxes of beans and just knew everything was going to have white beans in it this week! It’s such an easy protein to eat from the box/can, blended in a soup, or […]
Chicken Teriyaki Noodle Stir-Fry
Happy Tuesday, Friends! Hope you’re all staying warm – it seems to be cold in most places in the US right now! Here in Florida, it’s Spring Break for the schools, so the kids have lots of free time. I have them helping me with some chores around the house, as well as making sure […]
Penne Alla Vodka with Breaded Chicken Cutlets
Happy Monday, friends! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Over the weekend, we had our weekly family dinner. I try to plan what I want to make during the week since I have the time on Sunday’s to cook something a bit more challenging, or something that I typically don’t have time to make during […]
Bang Bang Salmon with Avocado Cucumber Salsa
It’s been a while since I’ve made salmon a different way from all the ways I’ve done before. If you’ve been around here for a while, you know salmon is my favorite fish and I make it often! My favorite ways include lemon or teriyaki sauce as they go together so nicely with salmon. But […]
Crispy Black Bean Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sauce
TGIF, friends! Hope everyone is ready for the weekend. I know I am! I’ve been a burnt out with all the daily grind of things, especially making dinners my kids will eat. They like a lot of the same foods, so I find I end up making them on repeat a lot, which I find […]
How to Cook Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
Every once in a while, I just want a simple piece of chicken. No sauces. Nothing fancy. No fuss. You’d think making chicken breasts would be easy but they dry out easily because the meat is so lean. This is why it’s so important to have an easy go-to way of making sure the chicken […]
