I have become a little obsessed with the slow cooker lately. It’s just so convenient to start dinner in the morning but have it ready to go when the kids get hungry at approximately 5:30pm. My dad found this Emeril recipe a couple years ago for Lemon-Garlic Chicken Thighs. We made it when I lived…
A Running Community & Braised Chicken with Sausage & Beans
Oh boy how is it Sunday already? It always shocks me how quickly the weeks fly by. It was a pretty quiet weekend for us. The excitement for me was that I joined a neighborhood running group! It’s called Wear Blue to Remember and was created to build a running community that honors the service…

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Hope you all have a fun, relaxing day planned. We are going to hit up the neighborhood parade, cook out, bake cookies and watch some fireworks! I wanted to share this super easy recipe for those of you that want the taste of BBQ without putting in any of the…
Lightened-Up Turkey Meatballs
I am back on a kick to get my kids to eat more veggies. Boy they can be soooo picky! Today I share a healthier meatball with you. How is a meatball related to veggies you ask? Well you add the veggies into the meat, duh! I love meatballs, I really do. I make them…
Easy Chicken Enchiladas for Two & Meal Planning
I made these enchiladas in 10 minutes the other day….and then they baked while I cleaned up. Cooking something like enchiladas isn’t my norm for a typical weekday lunch, but I was sooo tired of sandwiches and salads that I’ve been eating so much of since we moved from Missouri. I had unpacked several boxes…
A Taste of Tex-Mex: Chicken Fajitas
I have to admit something….since growing up in Texas and having access to a plethora of fabulous Mexican restaurants, I almost always ate my chicken fajitas out at a restaurant and if we did make them from home they were the pre-marinated kind from HEB. I rarely, if ever, made them myself. I know, it’s…
BBQ Cola Chicken & Meal Planning Monday
I found a can of coke in my fridge from when we had company and decided it was going to be put to good use. This grilled chicken was really yummy with this sweet and tangy homemade BBQ sauce smothered on top. If you want the recipe, I posted it over at Our World Family….
Pesto Parmesan Turkey Burger & Meal Planning Monday!
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…
Southwestern Turkey Burger Sliders with Chipotle Ketchup
I wanted to get one more recipe posted before Super Bowl Sunday. These sliders are fantastic. Flavorful, moist and a little different. I made them the same day that I made the black bean dip so I had the leftover chipotles in adobe sauce. I was inspired by the flavor profile of the black dip…
Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos
A lot of you are probably familiar with lettuces wraps from P.F. Changs. They used to be one of our favorite appetizers to order from that restaurant and since I haven’t been there in over a year and a half, I thought it would be fun to make my own lettuce wraps, Mexican style. Yes,…
