Chicken kabobs
I did these for our last big pool party and they seemed to be a hit! I served them with the veggie kabobs I posted Friday. The chicken stayed nice and moist and packed full of flavor. We ate the leftovers over salad and as chicken tacos, so there is lots of ways to...
Grilled Veggie Kabobs
I honestly like cooking kabobs separate as in chicken on one stick and veggies on another. It’s just easier to control cross contamination for me plus they all cook at different times. Anyway, the marinade on these where pretty tasty. Grilled Veggie Kabobs...
Pumpkin-Popcorn Soup
There are several things I love about this soup. There are very little ingredients and very little time consuming steps. It would work great as a bowl of soup or as a starter served in shot glasses topped with popcorn. I just love the simple flavor and how silky...
Coconut Key Lime Rum Cake
Now that Summer is over I had to have one last pool party and celebrate the good times. This cake is super easy to make ahead of time and I love the rustic look to it. Not all cakes need to look perfect. I’m already dreaming of next summer although Fall one of my...
Sea Scallops in a Bourbon Jalapeno Cream Sauce
I expected a little more bang out of this sauce. While it was good, it needed a little more jalapeno flavor to really taste it. We also grilled our scallops to give them a little added flavor to the dish. Sea Scallops in a Bourbon Jalapeno Cream Sauce (Adapted...
Crockpot Beef Stew
This stew is a little different than the ones I’ve done in the past. I don’t know why I never thought to add green beans to the stew. Overall there’s a good flavor, we just had to add a little additional seasoning to it. My helper in the kitchen today learned how to...
Balsamic Roasted Beet Salad
I was recently in Trader Joe’s and came across these ready to eat steamed and peeled baby beets. I happen to love that the hard work is already done for me and they come in a nice small package so I don’t end up with a ton of beets. For this salad I cut them up in...
Zombie Nachos
This is a fun dessert for the kiddos to make. My 3 year old had a blast helping toss it together. There’s not really a recipe for this you can use cinnamon chips or graham crackers like we did. Layer on some chocolate pudding or hot fudge sauce, raspberry pie filling...
Apple Cider Roasted Chicken with Butternut Squash
I love a good one pot dish that comes out ready all at the same time. With all the festivals starting up you can prep this the night before and throw it in the oven as soon as you get home so it’ll be ready by the time you go out in the evening. The only change I...
Rigatoni “D”
I was recently invited to a grand opening for the Maggiano’s Little Italy franchise and one of the things in my goodie bag was a recipe for their Rigatoni “D”. I remember how good it tasted at the restaurant and was pleasantly surprised when I made it at home it...
Corn Casserole with Cheese & Bacon
I thought I posted this a while back, but I guess I didn’t get around too it. I wanted to share it, because it looks simple, but its soooo gooooood!! I’ll be making this again for the holiday season. My dad had made me some homemade bacon so I used that in there, but...
