This recipe is currently one of my favorites. The plum sauce pairs absolutely perfectly with the pork tenderloin. As you can see, I had side dishes of broccoli and mashed potatoes. I have made this dish for my parents and then later for my grandparents and it was a hit both times. This is a…

This recipe was a HUGE hit in my house. Who doesn’t love Sloppy Joe’s?? Everyone loves Sloppy Joe’s. That meaty sweet flavor… it reminds us of childhood, of family. This recipe is super simple and super delicious. I made a large salad on the side and got little gluten free buns for me and my…

Not only is this salad beautiful, it is absolutely delicious! This is definitely a recipe I’ll be repeating. Grilled fruit is incredibly delicious and peaches aren’t an exception. The dressing on this baby compliments all the flavors beautifully. This is a must-try for everyone and it is very simple and took almost no time at…
Strawberry Basil Chicken
THIS. RECIPE. RIGHT. HERE. Are you guys sick of the same old chicken? BBQ chicken, grilled chicken, baked chicken, breaded chicken. This recipe does amazing things to chicken. I’ve only really started experimenting with bringing fruit to the dinner table. Fruit? Fruit is for snacks and dessert. Man- was I wrong. You guys have to…
Fish Bake with Pineapples, Black Beans and Rice
This is a recipe my mom printed out from (I think) the Food Network website. I don’t tend to make a lot of recipes from them, but every now and then, there’s a hit. The picture does not give this recipe justice. It’s actually rather pretty in person the way the whole thing lays out….

Fish Tacos with Mango Slaw & Pink Chile Mayo
This recipe is kind of a combo with a couple of fish tacos recipes I’ve been playing with. Most fish taco recipes will have you batter and then fry the fish. I’m not a huge fan of this- first of all, I’d usually use my cast iron for that. I’m not a huge fan of…
Gluten Free Grilled Pizza
Pizza on the grill is probably one of the best ways to have pizza, in my opinion. It adds the whole grill flavor to one of my favorite dishes. This recipe isn’t anything “new,” but I thought I’d give you some tips on grilling pizza. If you’re into gluten free, like me, then I definitely…
Slow Cooker Thai Chicken with Peanut Sauce
Chicken with peanut sauce is one of my favorite dishes when we get Thai food. I almost always get it. This recipe came out okay- I would make more sauce to pour over the dish, or have some on the side as these noodles really soaked up the sauce. Otherwise, it was pretty delicious. I…
Slow Cooker Orange Roast
This was an extremely simple meal. There’s a little bit of prep you can do in the morning or even the night before. It’s literally a full meal cooked in the crock pot. I also cooked up some green beans o the side for some extra veggies, but you don’t necessarily need it. If I…
Peach BBQ Pork Sliders & Apple Cole Slaw
This is a great summer or fall recipe and you get to use your slow cooker!! I’m always looking for new ways to make pork and incorporate that into our diet. I get a little sick of the usually chicken, beef and occasional fish. I also made the Hawaiian rolls from scratch and gluten-freed them….
