Beef and Bean Enchiladas

Beef and Bean Enchiladas

I was craving enchiladas, which is strange because I don’t usually crave Mexican food, and found Beef and Bean Enchiladas through the What’s Cookin’ board. It’s easy and delish. It made so much that I froze an entire pan for a later date! Yay! I cut the recipe in half (approximately). You will see my changes … Read more

Portobello, Broccoli and Red Pepper Melts

Portobello, Broccoli and Red Pepper Melts

When I saw this Portobello, Broccoli and Red Pepper Melts recipe on Annie’s Eats recently, I put it on the top of the Must Make List. That’s a pretty long list and it bumped several other recipes down in priority. These definitely did not disappoint! In fact, while eating I continuously eyed the sheet pan with the rest of … Read more

Summer Vegetable Soup

Summer vegetable soup

I don’t really like soups and for me, it’s more a thing that you eat when you’re sick. But I need to say, that I definitely like ramen and Summer Vegetable Soup is another winner! Freshness, healthy ingredients, easy to make – it’s my key factors 😉 Ingredients Serves 6 4 ears of corn, husks, … Read more

Garlic Roasted Chickpeas

Garlic Roasted Chickpeas

I love Garlic Roasted Chickpeas so much that I want everyone to try them! They are such a healthy little snack – a great alternative to chips or pretzels. They are crispy on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside. I like them best warm from the oven but they are just as … Read more

Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad

Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad

It’s no secret that I love Pinterest but sometimes it’s more evil than good.  By that, I mean that I will be seriously trying to stick to a meal plan and then I’ll see the Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad recipe that I just have to make right then.  Right then!  (Is that just me?)  Or I’ll see a craft … Read more

Breakfast Scramble

Breakfast Scramble

If I had it my way we would eat a large, unhealthy breakfast every day of the week. But since that’s not a great choice, we don’t. 🙂 I try to keep the large breakfasts to just the weekends, so when I woke up one morning and all I could think about were some kind … Read more

Blueberry Cornmeal Pancakes

Blueberry Cornmeal Pancakes

As I’ve said before, we are big breakfast people, especially on the weekend. We love both savory and sweet dishes, it just depends on the mood. I don’t think that we have a clear favorite, although an omelet is always on the top of my list. When it comes to pancakes, we have our favorite … Read more

Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits

Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits

Biscuits can be such finicky things:  dry, tasteless, crumbly.  Or they can be light, fluffy, and full of layers of buttery, golden tastiness.  Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits are definitely the latter.  They are so full of cheese and buttermilk that you can’t help but fall in love with every bite. Using your food processor brings them … Read more

Cilantro Lime Rice Recipe

Cilantro Lime Rice Recipe

I have a confession.  I like Cilantro Lime Rice Recipe but there was a time that I would have said that I didn’t like Chipotle.  This was several years ago, I went and had burritos because everyone kept saying how amazing they were.  I felt like it was sub-par.  Perhaps I ordered incorrectly because I was definitely wrong. … Read more

American Sandwich Bread

American Sandwich Bread

I usually try to make bread at home, it takes time but the efforts are worth the taste of a homemade loaf. Mostly, we are eating sandwiches. I have tried several sandwich bread recipes but this American Sandwich Bread from America’s Test Kitchen is by far my favorite. It’s slightly sweet, tender, but sturdy enough … Read more
