It's the summer and that means quick meals in the kitchen. Nobody wants to linger over a hot stove or oven when the sun is baring down on your home. It can reach triple digits fast here in Oklahoma (in fact, it's going to be around 100 on Friday) and no matter how powerful your… Continue reading Cheesy-Garlic Zucchini & Corn
Curry Hummus Veggie Sandwiches
There's a gigantic tub of hummus at Costco that reels me in every time I go there. I think it's about 3 pounds of hummus inside the typical plastic container. I've found two different flavors over the last several months that I like, but the red pepper hummus is probably my favorite. I put that… Continue reading Curry Hummus Veggie Sandwiches
Honey-Jalapeno Corn Muffins
There are millions of different cornbread recipes out there. I've made quite a few of them. But there are none quite like this cornbread recipe. I was on the hunt for a new recipe a few weeks ago. If you've ever had cornbread cravings before, they are real. I had everything I needed at home… Continue reading Honey-Jalapeno Corn Muffins
Caprese Turkey Burger
If there's one thing I love about summer, its the endless Caprese salads. Wait, you don't have endless Caprese salads where you're from? That's weird. I thought it was a universal thing. Okay, I get it. Caprese salads aren't really a "sign of summer" like lemonade stands and hot dogs. But it's something I make… Continue reading Caprese Turkey Burger
Lemon & Herb Potato Salad
There are many different recipes that will come in and out of your life that hold a significant meaning. My mom's potato salad is one of those. She's been making it since I was born, and it's such a classic recipe for our family get-togethers. I've made her recipe a handful of times, but I… Continue reading Lemon & Herb Potato Salad
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
I've never been a person who liked sweet breakfast foods. Cereal, waffles, pancakes, French toast--- all of those things are sub-standard to me. I will gladly choose a breakfast burrito or bacon and eggs above a plate of pancakes anyday. I make sweet breakfasts for my husband all the time. He enjoys eating oatmeal before… Continue reading Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
I've been really breaking out of my shell when it comes to vegetarian/vegan meals. This recipe is not something I would have made a few years ago. I like to incorporate vegan/vegetarian meals into my diet, but this recipe is a little out there. First, you make your own bean spread (almost like a hummus… Continue reading Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
Chicken Fried Quinoa
Quick! Tell me your go-to Chinese takeout order! If you're thrown on the spot, I bet a lot of you say chicken fried rice. My favorite takeout order? Lo mein and hot and sour soup. But my husband will order chicken fried rice almost every single time. It's a classic and it hits the spot… Continue reading Chicken Fried Quinoa
Roasted Pork Bites with Red Pepper Sauce
I haven't been using pork much lately and I don't know why. I love pork. It's ranked right up there with chicken in terms of meat entrees. I'll choose a pork chop or pork roast over a burger or meatloaf anyday. I spotted a massive pack of pork chops (6 pounds!!!) at Costco the other… Continue reading Roasted Pork Bites with Red Pepper Sauce
Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
Spring cleaning has been going on in my house for the last several weeks. We've got family and friends visiting for the next couple of weeks, so I've been trying to tidy up where I can. I've completely reorganized the kitchen cabinets, given the windows a double-clean, and am in the midst of reorganizing the… Continue reading Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
