Grilled Peach and Chicken Salad with Maple Bourbon Dressing
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…
Goat Cheese Asparagus Quinoa Salad
This picture does not do this recipe justice. It is super simple, super savory and super creamy. If you don’t eat meat, this is a great dish for any occasion. Otherwise, this easy side would go great with any other meal with these flavors- grilled or baked chicken, beef, etc. I love goat cheese and…
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…
Caprese Salad
This right here is probably one of my favorite things in the world and it takes little to no effort at all. It is beautiful- it will impress your friends and family- but it also tastes amazing. You only need a few ingredients and it is a great summer staple (or really any time of…
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….
Chipotle Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps with Avocado Aoli
How many times am I gonna tell you guys that I make easy recipes? First of all- avocado aoli??? That sounds fancy as all hell. Second of all- CHIPOTLE pulled pork? Who doesn’t love chipotle?? This recipe is super simple, takes no time at all, and packs a punch of flavor. This is a great…
Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
I am obsessed with caesar dressing. It is so creamy, peppery, zingy- really packs a punch. I’ve tried to make it on several occasions, but anchovies really gross me out (understatement). Not only that, but when you’re trying to lose weight or eat healthy, caesar dressing isn’t exactly your best option. I’ve played around with…
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…
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….
