Oven Baked Fajitas

I love a good sheet pan style dinner, especially one that I can prep ahead of time. This is great one! We love Mexican style cooking, and the flavors of this recipe are spot on! I can prep a bunch of the elements ahead of time as well, which...

How do you meal plan?

I truly have no idea how we would ever function without a meal plan. I think I would lose my mind. When I meal plan, I feel like we benefit in so many ways, and while it takes a bit of time at the start of the week, it...

One Pot Chickpea Pasta

This is definitely one of those recipes that was a pleasant surprise when it came to serving it to my family. I always liked it, but I never dreamed my kids would enjoy it. However, they devour it every time I make it! The flavors are simple, but really...

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These might be one of my favorite cookies ever! I have a few seasonal cookies that we make that I just love, but when I am looking for a good basic cookie I feel like these are always perfect! While I enjoy oatmeal raisin cookies occasionally, I prefer these...

Sesame Chicken Tenders

I love this Asian inspired dish!  While I don’t often like to bread my chicken (it saves on the calories), I enjoy this one for a nice change, and the breading helps the chicken stay nice and tender and juicy. My kids also love it, probably because it reminds them...

Fried Rice

Salsa Chicken

I have a handful of recipes that have saved our family dinner more times than I can count. Typically these recipes are easy to put together, relatively hands off in the cooking process, and contain ingredients that we almost always have on hand in the fridge or pantry. There...

Spaghetti Spinach Pie

This recipe is definitely in my son’s top ten favorite dinners! Honestly, I never would have expected this to be such a kid friendly dish, but both of my boys gobble it up every time I make it! While it certainly has plenty of cheese, which they love, it...

Biscuit and Vegetable Breakfast Casserole

I love breakfast casseroles! I have no idea why they are so appealing to me, but I always really enjoy them. I have several that I like to make, and this is one of my favorites. The biscuits make a nice addition and are a unique element in this...

Chicken Lettuce Wrap Salad

I love the idea of lettuce wraps; however, any time I served them to my family they were a mess and no one seemed that into them. They would fall apart when the kids tried to eat them and we all needed 5 napkins.  This recipe was born out of...
