I can walk into any grocery store and immediately I’m reminded that it’s summer. All I see is charcoal, watermelon, and mustard as I pass the first few end caps and displays. Heading over to the produce section, I am hit with all fresh fruits and veggies that are available only when it’s the peak…

Chicken Italiano
Living in an apartment tends to limit my methods of cooking. We’re not allowed to have any sort of gas or charcoal grill. Summer time with no grill is just not allowed! Trying to work around this annoying rule I have to live by, I put some serious miles on my George Foreman grill. It…
Roasted Lemon Thyme Chicken and Vegetables
Growing up I was a picky child, but like any kid, I was expected to eat anything that was put in front of me. I often didn’t care for whatever the meal was but I put on my big girl pants and ate it all up, thankful that we had food on our plates. One…
Mexican Chicken Avocado Salad
If there is one meal I love the most, its lunch. Dinner is always going to be fun and sometimes extravagant when I’m playing in the kitchen, but when lunch falls under that description, I get excited! I’m a big sandwich lover, I could eat one every day but that can get boring real fast…
Chicken and Dumplings
Growing up, I had the good fortune to have a mother that liked to try all kinds of different dishes. There was no boring repeated spaghetti night or casserole night (at least not that I remember). The only constant was leftovers-Sunday. Occasionally my mom would ask my siblings and me what we would want for…
Teriyaki Pineapple Pork
Growing up, there was a family I knew that had Hawaiian roots. Every so often they would put on full blown Luau parties with entertainment and food. They had groups of boys that would perform Haka (Maori war dance) as well as playing out combat scenes. These events were a staple of my childhood. When…
Tangy Chicken Salad
Around the time I discovered the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans group, I was just beginning to branch out with my culinary desires. I hated learning to cook growing up and I had 3 male roommates for several years during the “college” age. Once I started to realize how much I enjoyed my time in…
Foil Pack Rosemary Chicken
As the summer starts to wind down, fall is just around the corner. That means less barbecuing and more time in the kitchen with the oven and Crock Pots. That also means kids are going back to school and time is precious between getting home and bed time. Learning to balance your time in the…
Baked Spaghetti Squash
A few months ago I decided that I was going to take the scary leap into learning how to bake this new fandangled thing called a spaghetti squash. It has been around for a few years and while I know that Zach doesn’t like squash, I wanted to finally give it a try. (Post recipe…
Skinny Zuppa Toscana
The biggest downside of growing up in a very small town in the middle of nowhere for me was our selection of restaurants. Don’t get me wrong, little towns have absolutely wonderful hole in the wall places when it comes to certain food, but those food choices tend to be geared toward one or two…
Lazy Game Day Beans
It’s October which means we’re well on our way into football season! That means Facebook will be full of yummy ideas, recipes, and pictures of food and décor for the games. Because let’s face it, most of us love either the game or the gathering of friends and food! I happen to be all about…
Perfect Turkey Burgers
I used to live in an apartment complex that allowed you to keep your own grill as long as it wasn’t on your patio and boy do I miss those days! We used to have all of our friends over every Friday for “grill night” and games. We would make all kinds of things! Steak,…
