Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I'm working on getting back to blogging regularly now that the spring sports season is coming to an end. There were only a few days in all of April and May that we didn't have something going on which led me to make quick and easy dinners to get us to practices or games. I'm… Continue reading Pasta with Tomatoes and Roasted Red Peppers
I love a good lo mein .... my kids on the other hand, do not. I thought this would be one of the those recipes my kids would love, but they complained all through dinner about how gross it was, it was chewy and disgusting. My daughter even forbid me to never make this recipe… Continue reading Instant Pot Lo Mein
As I've mentioned before, I'm working to incorporate more meatless meals into our life and this recipe was perfect for that! I love mushrooms and this open-faced sandwich did not disappoint. Sautéed mushrooms and onions top a piece of crusty bread with ricotta and then topped with mozzarella cheese and baked in the oven until… Continue reading Mushroom Ricotta Open-Faced Sandwiches
We're all big fan of mushrooms here and this was another quick and easy recipe to make. All four of us gobbled it up without no complaints from the kids! I can wait to make it again when I can pick tomatoes and basil fresh from our garden. Speaking of gardens, I finally got mine… Continue reading Stuffed Portobellos
Kung Pao chicken is probably the one dish I order most often from our local Chinese restaurant. I kept seeing this recipe on Pinterest and finally had to try it and I'm so glad I did! It was really good and super spicy. I used a bottled Kung Pao sauce, but next time I want to make… Continue reading Kung Pao Chickpeas
I've been seeing quinoa burgers all over Pinterest and some of my friends have mentioned they made them so when I came across this recipe in a new cookbook, I thought I'd give it a shot. I usually have extra quinoa just waiting to be used for something, but this time I made a batch… Continue reading Quinoa-Mushroom Burgers
I spotted this pizza originally on Pinterest and it sounded so different and unique. I had half a jar of fig jam left over from the orange-fig glazed ham I made and knew it would be a great way to use it up and not waste it. It was seriously AMAZING! Both my husband and… Continue reading Caramelized Onion, Bacon and Fig Pizza
In an effort to be healthier this year, I'm back on Meatless Mondays. I'm trying to venture out and try new recipes. I also want to eat meatless for at least two days a week. I've been eating better and working out since the beginning of the year and it's been going well. I'm losing… Continue reading Quinoa Black Bean Burrito Bowls
It's time for November's Secret Recipe Club! This will be the last post of the year for SRC, but we'll be back in January. It's nice to have a break around the holidays since we'll all be so busy! This month my assignment was Mostly Food and Crafts. There's a lot of see over at Danielle's blog!… Continue reading The Secret Recipe Club: Peanut Sesame Noodles
Whew, last week blew by! I had planned to post this recipe last week but somehow between getting ready to go back to work, getting back to work and still trying to exercise, there was very little time to blog. I have some free time today so I'm trying to catch up, plus Cooper fell… Continue reading Roasted Veggie Enchilada Stack
