Melon Orzo Salad with Orange Poppyseed Vinaigrette
I feel like I am full of complaints here lately, but I have been suffering from some serious foodie mental block. If you haven’t noticed, it has been a couple of days since my last post. I’m not usually this lazy, and am usually pretty good at having a good 3-4 posts/recipes up a […]
Homemade Strawberry Lemonade
You know the old saying “your eyes are bigger than your stomach?” Well, my eyes are totally bigger than my stomach. Even more so, when I go grocery shopping, I always buy more than I need. I know. It’s absolutely horrible. I just have this fear of running out of something. The mere thought […]
Grilled Sweet Potato Salad
I’ve got another picnic recipe for you today! Hey! I forewarned you that I was in a picnic mood. I can’t stop. I won’t stop. I promise I’ll bake something this weekend. I promise. It’s supposed to rain anyway, and if there’s anything that helps in getting rid of those rainy day blues, it’s […]
Tex Mex Hot Dogs with Cilantro Cream Drizzle
Now that Easter is over, all I want is picnic food. Honestly though, I crave picnic time all times of year, but it’s starting to get a little bit out of control. In the end, I just really feel bad for Zach, who will probably have to eat cold pasta and potato salads, hot […]
Green Bean Chicken Salad with Curry Vinaigrette
Is it Friday yet? Ugh, what a week it has been, and it’s only Monday! I don’t think anyone ever prepared me for what it took to clean a larger house. You grow up wanting the biggest, baddest house, but your parents fail to tell you that you will actually have to clean it! […]
Mediterranean Olive Couscous Salad
I thought I might take a break from sweet treats. It seems like that’s all I’ve been doing this week! We are still quite a ways from Valentine’s Day, but I just couldn’t help myself. Check out my Vanilla Cupcakes and Red Velvet Soft Sugar Cookies if you haven’t yet! They are full of […]
Italian Chicken Salad
I’m pretty sure this is the most delicious chicken salad I’ve ever made. What makes it so super awesome is that it is so versatile! I love it partly because I love chicken salads, but I also love it because it’s so light! Who knew that you could make chicken salad light? I’ve always […]
Labor Day Picnic Round Up
As Summer draws to a close (kind of — we still have a little less than a month left), Labor Day is like the “last hurrah” for most of us. It allows for one last “event” to celebrate all things Summer. I personally love Labor Day, and it’s not just because my birthday SOMETIMES […]
Pulled Pork Hot Dogs with Broccoli Slaw
So we’ve decided to go back down this lovely road called “pulled pork road” once again. We had a pork shoulder just hanging out in the freezer, so it was about that time. The problem with trying to feed two people with one pork butt (or pork shoulder — same thing) is that you […]
