This is a guest post from my husband. All of his recipes begin with "Best Ever", and they are, but I might be a little biased. Growing up I always made deviled eggs. Even if we only had two hard boiled eggs lying around I'd peel them up, take out the yolks, add mayonnaise, mustard,… Continue reading Best Ever Sriracha Deviled Eggs

Chia, Coconut, Pumpkin Seed Granola
I've been waiting for the hot summer weather to cool a bit so I can turn on the oven and do some baking. My kitchen gets hot when the oven is on and during the summer it's too warm. This recipe is easy to double - and I always do. If I'm going through the… Continue reading Chia, Coconut, Pumpkin Seed Granola
Smoothie Tuesday, Smoothie Thursday and Sometimes Saturday
It's not always easy getting kids to eat a balanced diet but I have an insurance policy: smoothies for breakfast. Thanks to Earthbound Farm for helping me share this post with you. Smoothies for breakfast have been our routine for years - but only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and sometimes Saturdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my… Continue reading Smoothie Tuesday, Smoothie Thursday and Sometimes Saturday
How to Season Cast Iron Pans
The majority of cooking in my kitchen is done with cast iron pans. Why? Cast iron is virtually indestructible and can easily go from stove-top to oven to open flame. Actually, I can't think of where it can't go. (Well, maybe not a microwave but we don't own one.) Cast iron is easy to maintain… Continue reading How to Season Cast Iron Pans
Recipe: Cole Slaw with a Kick
Do you ever feel like some vegetables are underrated? I do and to me, cabbage is THAT vegetable. It's so good for you, inexpensive, and versatile. Cabbage can get forgotten about when hidden away in the back of the refrigerator and still be crunchy in a salad. It can also get sliced thinly, drizzled with… Continue reading Recipe: Cole Slaw with a Kick

Hot Wing Shrimp Over Pasta
Don't you just want to lick your fingers when you're eating a really tasty meal? I know I do. That's why I love a dinner where the chef (me!) says, "Go ahead and lick your fingers." That doesn't always happen when you're having pasta but with this meal, trust me, you'll want to. You'll want… Continue reading Hot Wing Shrimp Over Pasta
Kick the Can and Cook the Beans
Each week, I usually cook about 2-3 pounds of dried beans. This is the equivalent to about 15 cans of beans a week - keep in mind - we’re a family of 4 with adult sized appetites - and we eat 99% of our meals at home. Whether we eat cooked beans for breakfast, lunch,… Continue reading Kick the Can and Cook the Beans
Monthly Meal Plan
What's for dinner? Well, you know the answer. Check the front of my refrigerator and you'll see what we're having for the upcoming week. Then, once a month I share it here. Is it getting old reading about what we're eating? It must. I'm tired of writing about it. After 12-months of sharing our weekly… Continue reading Monthly Meal Plan
