Taco Seasoning

I don’t know about you all, but with the start of school and fall schedules starting up, everything feels super hectic. I love the routine of it in some ways, following a wonderful, but ever-changing summer schedule; however, it always takes me a while to get used to the...

Mediterranean Chicken Orzo

Last summer when I was first starting to think seriously about starting a blog, I decided to do a bit of a test run. I posted a few pictures of food I was making on my personal instagram and then included the recipe, just to see if there was...

Banana Peach Sourdough Muffins

I love baking sourdough bread and keeping my starter around. It makes so many delicious things! I’m also always looking for new ways to use the discard. While I love baking bread, I certainly don’t do it every week, and I love finding other ways to use the discard...

Summer Spaghetti

I love making this recipe every summer! It’s the perfect blend of summer flavors.  When our garden tomatoes start coming in, I always put this on the menu; and it’s always even better if we’ve just been to our local farm to pick fresh sweet corn! The fresh tomatoes from...

Cucumber Salad

I think I could make this recipe in my sleep! It is such a summer staple from my childhood that is super easy and a great way to use up garden cucumbers when they suddenly start flooding the kitchen. It’s a light and refreshing side dish that goes with...

Chili Lime Chicken

Somehow summer has really gotten away from me! I took an unintentional vacation from blogging for the last month or two! We have been busy having lots of fun as a family and doing lots of cooking as well. We’ve had lots of great food, and I can’t wait...

Multi Bean Salad

I can’t seem to resist posting recipes that are great for get togethers and Barbecues right now. Apparently, that is what is on my mind. I love summer and being able to get together with friends and family, hang out outside, and grill some great food. This is one...

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

I recently discovered that we had acquired a lot of extra candy in our house. Somehow holiday candy seems to pile up, and since I try to limit how much is eaten at a time, it can hang around for a while. Well, I felt like it was time...

Guacamole

I love Memorial Day weekend! I am definitely a huge summer fan, so it always excites me to kick of the season of warmer weather, barbecues, swimming and vacations. I’m guessing many of you will be headed to a barbecue or two this weekend, so I wanted to share...

Mom’s Grilled Barbecue Ribs

In honor of Memorial Day this coming weekend, I had to share one of our favorite grilling recipes. It’s funny, as a kid I grew up eating these regularly and never gave them much thought. I didn’t pay attention to how they were cooked, I just knew that we...
