Chicken & Broccoli Breakfast Bites

I’ve been sick for just over a week now so I’m hoping that this is it and I can get back into my normal routine. That routine needs to include me being at the gym every morning during the week. So to make a 5:30am workout a little easier, I had the time today to [...]

Citrus Sangria

We grilled out with some friends Saturday afternoon after spending the morning at the dog park. Of course the boys had their Corona but Amy & I wanted something a little more girly. So we figured let’s throw together some sangria. Here is our version of a sweet & citrusy sangria.

Crockpot Chicken Taco Soup

I’ve been meaning to make this recipe since I came across it on Melissa’s blog who had it from another Melissa’s blog. So I altered the original to fit what we liked and had on hand. My version is below and you can see the originals through the links above.

Buffalo Chicken Soup

I heard about this soup but couldn’t find a good recipe that I liked. I combined a few of the recipes that I came across on google and ended up with this. It turned out really good. This is definately something we will be making again. The only thing I might do different next time is use [...]

Roasted Broccoli

In an ongoing effort to bring more vegetables into our lives, I am always open to trying  new way of cooking something. I stumbled across this recipes on Melissa’s site. Here is the link to her original. The only thing I changed was that I added a little more garlic and baked at a slightly [...]

“not quite” Fried Okra

One of the foods I had never had before meeting my husband was fried okra. Oh how I love fried okra. It’s one of those great southern comfort foods. So when my husband heard that I wanted to mess with a classic and try baking it instead of frying, his mind was already made up that it [...]

Creamy Ranch Pork Chops & Rice

I always have a package of pork chops in my freezer and I can never think of a good way to use them. I don’t remember where I found this recipe. It may have been on the Campbell’s soup site. This one turned out pretty well and my lovely husband would eat it again. So [...]

“Beef”Stroganoff

This one comes from Polly’s site. Here’s the link to the original recipe. This is such a good happy husband meal because it’s something he’s had time & time again, it just got updated to become healthier. Because it goes together so fast, it is great for a weeknight meal. This has quickly become a staple in [...]

Greco Shrimp Linguini

I love, love, love Elly’s blog. Seriously, everything I’ve tried from her has been delicious! So another Elly dish. We are incorporating more & more vegetables into our diet and wanted to use the shrimp I bought last week so we tried Greco Shrimp Linguini. This is the recipe straight from Elly’s site as i [...]

Cornmeal Crusted Chicken Stuffed with Poblano and Cheddar & Southwest Squash Casserole

I got the idea for this chicken from Elly’s blog. It is a surprisingly quick meal to put together. I forget where I found the casserole recipe but it was tweaked a little bit to make it a teensy bit healthier. It passed the husband test with ease. Cancy really liked it. So definately something we [...]
