Salad in jar… Why have I never made these before? They are so easy to make! I made a Chicken Caesar Kale Salad, but any type of your favorite salad would work. I have always kind of steered away from using kale in a salad. I always found it kind of bitter. But after I made this Kale, Strawberry and Avocado Salad, I learned that squeezing a lemon over the kale first and then massaging it with your hands turns the kale a bright green. This helps get rid of that bitter taste.
Yippee! Summer break has officially begun! Time for vacations, picnics, pool parties, relaxing, and of course grilling. To celebrate summer break I made these Grilled Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki Burgers that scream summer!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Simply Organic in creating recipes for their new line dressing mixes. They have great products and I really love how easy and flavorful this Italian Dressing tastes.
Just when I thought I couldn’t get enough of my Asian Chicken Meatballs, I go and make these Chicken Parmesan Meatballs. Wowza these are so good! You may want to double the recipe.
Hey there! I am keeping this post short and sweet as I get through this week of craziness! I started a new job, working on some side work, and packing to move this week… Phew! I am super excited and so thankful for all of these opportunities!
So onto these delicious mini muffins. I made these on Sunday as a quick grabby snack or breakfast for the week. They are grain free and very easy to make with minimal ingredients. Just make sure you store them in an air tight container or they will be hard as a rock. Have a great week all!
I started my new job this week! On top of running this food blog, my favorite job, I am also a registered CT technologist. I haven’t been working as a CT tech for a few months as we were getting settled in our move to Texas. So it was time to get back out there! I decided to work PRN, which is one of the perks in working in healthcare, so I still have time to work on my blog and spend time with the fam.
I have been craving sangria ever since the weather started warming up. Nothing like a large glass of refreshing sangria loaded with fresh fruit and mint on a gorgeous day!
At first I was going to add a citrus vodka to the drink, but as is turns out the new area we live in is a “damp” town. What the heck does that mean… Well, we learned you can only buy beer and wine in the town we live in. If we want liquor we have to travel to another town. Good thing the hubby and I only really drink beer and wine!
Now back to the sangria… Since the vodka idea didn’t work out I found some triple sec left over from the move so I used that instead. I had used triple sec in my Summer Strawberry Rosemary Sangria from last year so I figured it would work. And boy it did! Cheers!
Attention everyone (this is where the drum roll comes in)… I did a craft! I am not a crafty person, but when I stumbled upon this simple, cute idea on Pinterest for Teacher Appreciation Week I knew this was something I could easily make. It came out so cute I am making one or five for myself 🙂
I have a love for mason jars. I think they are so pretty and can serve some many functions.
I sprayed painted the mason jar with white paint, but feel free to use any color you like. Let it dry overnight, filled it with fresh sunflowers, attached the tag. I found the idea and print out for the tag on http://www.skiptomylou.org/
This would also make a nice Mother’s Day gift too!
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Not that I need a reason to eat Mexican food, my absolute favorite, I made these fantastic Breakfast Taquitos to celebrate. They may be called “Breakfast ” Taquitos, but you really could eat them any time of day.
These take a little prep time so next time I think I will double the batch. Then freeze the extras for later in the week when my cravings for these little buggers kick in… That is if there are any extras left 🙂
These would also taste great topped with my fresh homemade salsa!
