We're having a low-key day at home, lots of swimming and hanging out. I plan on making another batch of these drinks -… Continue reading Watermelon Lime Agua Fresca
I'm wrapping up #CookOutWeek with dessert! I mean you can't go to a picnic without a little sweet treat to end the day. This blueberry yogurt cake was packed full of blueberries with a hint of lemon in a rich cake. We all loved it and it was eaten way too quickly! I will definitely… Continue reading Blueberry Yogurt Cake
Today's #CookOutWeek recipe is our main course - Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken. I rarely marinade chicken breasts but will be doing it more with this recipe. I loved the hint of lime, a touch of sweetness from honey and the punch from cilantro. I used to not be a fan of cilantro, but I've grown… Continue reading Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken

Did you ever have one of those days where nothing goes right? Yesterday was one of THOSE days. I was all ready to get our grill started to grill pork chops and of course when I went to light it, it only "clicked, clicked, clicked"....GREAT. Now to switch gears and cook them inside. I also… Continue reading Lemon Basil Pork Chops
The weather has been off here in PA, so we're now just getting spring veggies. I've been craving green vegetables lately, so when I got a box of spring peas in my CSA, I knew I wanted to whip up a pasta dish with them. I found this quick and easy recipe for tortellini with… Continue reading Creamy Spring Tortellini with Bacon
As usual, I had a couple of over-ripe bananas and needed to find something to make to use them up. I don't know why we always end up with 2 or 3 bananas that never get eaten?!? I was thinking about making one of my muffin recipes, but then decided on this recipe for a… Continue reading Double Chocolate Banana Cake
