Grilled Saison Shrimp Tacos with Pomegranate Salsa
Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is as pumped as I am that tomorrow is Friday. Woohoo! I thought the day would never come. Thank God. I didn’t think I was going to make it. So I’ve been waiting a couple of days to post this recipe in particular because I was just that obsessed […]
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 […]
Fresh Peach Salad with Peach Vinaigrette
So, let’s highlight the flavors of summer just ONE more time before the season comes to an end; and make a fresh salad where the peach is the star! You really have to savor these moments! They will be gone in a jiffy. Did I just say “jiffy?” OH my. Anyway, I really loved […]
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 […]
Fresh Peach Ice Cream with Caramel
I find that ice cream brings joy to just about anyone (unless you are allergic to dairy =( this is sad — there are cool alternatives though!), even if that dreaded Monday is upon us. I thought this ice cream was the perfect recipe to share on this beautiful Sunday, especially since the end […]
Caprese Salad with Fresh Chimichurri
There’s not a whole lot better than the fresh flavors of summer. The end of summer/early fall is by far my favorite time of the year for fresh fruits and veggies here in Colorado. I know what you are thinking. We live in an area with a semi-arid climate. How does anything grow here!? […]
