Homemade Lemonade

There is something so special and refreshing about homemade lemonade. It just screams summer to me and to my kids. We started making this several years ago, I’m pretty sure it was during the summer of 2020 when we were all home and experimenting in the kitchen. We have...

Chocolate Zucchini Bread

It’s zucchini season! I have been baking this bread for as long as I can remember. My mom used to make it when I was young, and once I started having my own garden I started making it as well. When you start to get 5 zucchini a day,...

Jerk Chicken and Pineapple Salsa Bowls

This recipe always feels like summer to me! We eat it all year round because it has become a family favorite, but I always love to make it when the weather gets warmer and we have the option to grill the chicken if we have time. While the jerk...

Air Roasted Corn on the Cob

My favorite way to eat corn on the cob in the summer is grilled. We make it all the time at the beach and with my parents and it’s great. However, I find that most of the time when we are having it at home it doesn’t really work...

Bourbon Chicken

I love a good, quick skillet meal with a homemade sauce! While it’s not quite as easy as pouring a bottle of store bought sauce over cooked chicken, it’s really not too much more work, and when I know that the quality of ingredients is so much better and...

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

If you couldn’t tell already, we love Mexican style cooking. It took me a while to figure out a recipe for carnitas that was healthy, tasty and didn’t require too much time or too many steps. This recipe fits the bill! It’s easy to put together in the morning...

Slow Cooker Turkey Bolognese

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to share this recipe with you! It’s one of our favorites, and I make it regularly. I always enjoy a good bolognese; however, for a long time the only recipes I was familiar with were long and complicated. While they are...
