Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I’m always on the hunt for new side dishes to make for picnics and this one was a unique twist on a traditional salad. I’m not a fan of potato salad, so I rarely make it, but when I saw this recipe, it was one that I knew I would like. It’s different and wasn’t… Continue reading Pesto Roasted Potato Salad

There's so many possibilities with this theme that I had a hard time narrowing down a recipe. I started searching for something with limes since I… Continue reading Creamy Lime Bars – #FilltheCookieJar

Now that summer is upon us, I'm ready to start making overnight oats again! I love them and they're so simple and easy to throw together and grab on the way out the door in the morning...or down the stairs to my office. This version is a little different that previous ones I've made before,… Continue reading Apple Sunbutter Overnight Oats

The summer grilling season is here and we're already taking full advantage of it. We've been grilling chicken legs, burgers and veggies. We rarely use pork when we grill, but I'll definitely be making these kabobs a couple of times this summer. The glaze is really good and keeps the pork moist. Plus you can't… Continue reading BBQ Teriyaki Pork Kabobs
