If you think that turkey burgers are dry and have no flavor, I am here to prove you wrong. I know I’ve mentioned that I steer more towards turkey/fish/chicken over beef, so I am no stranger to a turkey burger. I love adding in different ingredients and textures to make the burger more flavorful and…
Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting & Heath Bar Sprinkles
When it comes time to birthdays in this family, we all seem to prefer chocolate (although carrot cake and Italian cream are my husband’s other favorites). I have made this recipe several times and am always pleased with how moist and light these cupcakes turn out. If you are new to my blog, welcome! If…
Two Minute Egg Breakfast & Meal Planning Monday!
Do you like eggs for breakfast but hate to get out the frying pan to cook a small amount? This is the perfect method for cooking an egg when only one person in the family wants one. I love it for a post-workout snack which is when I had it in this case. When else…
Lemon Dill Salmon: Farm Versus Wild & Meal Planning Monday!
Hope you all had a great weekend! We’ve got fish on the brain over here. I was finally able to find wild salmon at one of the grocery stores in small town, Missouri. Very excited. Then onto excitement number 2, this weekend marks the first weekend the hubby caught and brought home rainbow trout! Four…
A Frozen Entree Review: Kashi
I can’t remember the last time I bought a frozen entree. I think it was back when I worked full-time about 5 years ago. Oh wait! I did buy Lean Pocket Pizzas which was one of the only foods I could tolerate at the beginning of this pregnancy…random I know! Too be honest, not only…
Meal Planning Monday & a Little On Organics
Wow did this week go by fast! I can’t believe it’s already Sunday and time to plan meals. I’ll have to admit I am going to be a bit lazy this week on my meal planning. I attempted grocery shopping on Saturday along with the rest of the people on post. Super irritating. Everyone was…
Fourth of July Recipes!
If you haven’t done your shopping for the 4th, here are some recipes to give you some ideas apart from the usual burgers & hot dogs. We have decided to test out our new smoker with a brisket! One, we’ve never smoked anything. Two, never cooked brisket. Being from Texas, it is very important to…
Grilled Vegetables for the 4th of July!
I am already thinking about what to cook for Fourth of July and I know there will be some meat on the grill in addition to some lighter sides like these grilled vegetables. I love having healthy options on the Holidays when you know you’ll be eating more than usual. Being pregnant all I want…
Meal Planning Monday and Crock Pot Pinto Beans!
Hi folks. I had a busy, but fun, week in the kitchen while my parents were here. I am going to keep meal planning simple this week and utilize some of the wonderful fresh herbs we have growing in the garden. We’ve had a morning shower about every other day since we planted so I…
Pesto Pasta Salad Perfect for a BBQ
One of the kid’s favorite pastas is pesto pasta. I have not been able to make homemade pesto due to the fact that the basil in the grocery stores is close to $3.00 for a pathetically small amount. It’s been devastating. Then we finally went to Lowe’s a couple weekends ago to gather some stuff…
