Most days I wake up craving a savory breakfast of eggs, bacon and fruit. But every once in awhile I crave something sweet! French toast always hits the spot! It’s also super easy to clean up from the norm. It doesn’t have to be drenched in artificial maple syrup to taste good, I promise! This…
Easy Crock-Pot Salsa Verde Chicken
Summer has me like… ughh when it comes to dinner. We are gone all day and by the time we get home the last thing I feel like doing is cooking a hot meal in the kitchen! I like to make double batches of crock-pot chicken and pork to keep us afloat on those nights…
Breakfast Scramble for Two
Some mornings I get up extra early and make my hard working man breakfast. Some. Always on Saturday and Sunday but during the week I struggle. He deserves it. Immensely. Something I’m working on. Today I made it up bright and early for a run and had breakfast on the table by 7 am. We chatted over this awesome…
Honey-Lime Shrimp + Cauliflower Rice with Mango-Pineapple Salsa and Roasted Asparagus
Two of my favorite TJ items help bring you dinner in under twenty minutes! I’m all about convenience in the summer. We spend most of our time outdoors so slaving in the kitchen prepping and cooking isn’t always an option! I much prefer to buy pre-cut, chopped, or in this case riced veggies and prepared sauces and…
TRADER JOE’S Faves List
Living in Utah I had only heard about the unique and tasty items at Trader Joe’s from a distance through blogs I followed or relatives in other states that would frequently post their favorites. I was dying to get in the door and try them all for myself! When they finally came to our neighborhood I was jumping up and down…
Italian Stuffed Peppers
I believe the more color a meal has the more appealing to those in question. My two oldest despise cooked peppers. They love them raw with salads and dips but something about cooked peppers makes them disappear from the dinner table. Literally. They can’t be mushy. At all. Or warm. Basically the peppers are used as…
Breakfast Banana Splits
The name may imply dessert but I assure you this pile of banana split goodness is the perfect addition to your morning routine! Breakfast has never been so delicious and nutritious! The first time I served these for breakfast my four year olds face lit up like a Christmas tree! Nothing says proud mama moment when…
Clean Key Lime Pie
Clean Key Lime Pie by Clean Eats & Treats With summer just around the corner I cannot wait to start creating clean summer treats in the kitchen! This is one of our favorites! It’s not your typical Key Lime Pie it’s better! Smooth and tart with the perfect chewy crust. Enjoy!
BBQ Chicken Zucchini Boats
Not sure what to do with your leftover BBQ chicken? Stuff it in a zucchini and call it a boat. Dinner is done! These are a whole family favorite around here! Even my pickiest will eat an entire zucchini all on her own! I swear you call a veggie a boat and suddenly it becomes…
Honey-Lime Shrimp Tacos with Chipotle Slaw
Happy Cinco de Mayo friends! This meal is going down in history as my husbands favorite to date! He asked me three times if I had written down how I made it. I have a bad habit of creating meals and then forgetting how it all came together! Working on that. Sometimes I wish I…
Grilled Pineapple Guac
As if guacamole isn’t good enough by itself. Grilled pineapple takes it to a whole new level! I planned on making a pineapple pico to go with dinner but ended up stuck in a torrential downpour and was late getting home. So rather than waste the leftover grilled pineapple I had already diced I just…
DIY Easter Carrots
With Easter just around the corner I’ve been on the hunt for candy-free ideas for my littles class parties and basket stuffers! I’ve seen these carrots before usually stuffed with orange jelly beans, Reese’s peices, orange M&M’s ect. I decided to stuff them with Goldfish crackers for a healthier option to share with friends! Yes…
