Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I had recently made a batch of quinoa for another recipe and had a lot of left over. I didn't want to throw it away, so I went on a search for recipes that use leftover cooked quinoa and came across a recipe for a chocolate cake. Hmm...that might be interesting! I've used cooked quinoa… Continue reading Chocolate Quinoa Cake
Green peppers were on sale the other week and I pick up a pack. Stuffed peppers are one of my go-to meals - you know those meals that everyone enjoys and there's no complaints. We all loved this recipe. The filling was creamy and delicious and packed full of mushroom flavor. Even better, it made… Continue reading Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Stuffed Peppers
My son loves soup and has been asking me to make it for him. Most of the soups I make are in the fall and winter, and wouldn't work for a hot summer night. I found this recipe for a light and brothy soup - perfect for summer! It's a full of delicious fresh veggies… Continue reading Minestrone Verde
I was looking for an alternate to traditional waffles and came across this recipe for chocolate waffles using almond flour.

I was… Continue reading Chocolate Almond Flour Waffles

My mom who is not a big drinker sampled it and said it was really good - it wasn't… Continue reading Peach Blueberry Basil Sangria

They're perfect for breakfast, dessert or a mid-afternoon snack.

Yum! That's all I really need to say. If you take anything away from #CookoutWeek, you need to grill lobster tails! I surprised my husband with these for Father's Day and he definitely enjoyed them! Now onto what makes them really delicious - garlic butter with Parmesan cheese and basil from Chef Shamy. I was… Continue reading Garlic Butter Grilled Lobster
Now it's time to check out my side dish for #cookoutweek208 - low-carb cauliflower potato salad. I'm not a huge fan of potato salad, but my husband prefers it over macaroni salad (which I love!) I decided to swap out the potatoes for cauliflower and it was a great switch! It had the creaminess of… Continue reading Cauliflower “Potato” Salad
I'm excited to kick off #CookoutWeek 2018 with an appetizer recipe. As I was planning my recipes, I thought it would be fun to reveal them as courses! We'll start with an appetizer and end with dessert later this week. It was the perfect recipe too because my basil is OUT.OF.CONTROL!!! I've made 2 big… Continue reading Basil and Sun-dried Tomato Pinwheels
