A good friend of mine shared this recipe with me. She has six kids. Six! It’s beyond me how she gets dinner on the table every night for her family. Every day is a busy day. I like to save my slow cooker for busy days, so if I were her, I’d be…
Main Dishes
Slow Cooker Quinoa Chicken Chili
I’m currently obsessed with quinoa. Not that it’s new to me, it’s just been a while since I’ve cooked with it. And can I just say this chili knocked dinner out of the park? Hubby loved it. And even my picky two year old liked it. This Quinoa Chicken Chili is thick…
Pumpkin Quinoa Breakfast Cookies
Didn’t you hear? It’s totally normal to eat cookies for breakfast. Especially if they are actually called breakfast cookies. But not to worry, they taste just like middle-of-the day, after-dinner, and late-night-snack kind of cookies. Meaning, you’re totally getting away with eating dessert for breakfast. I changed up this recipe from Bon Appetit…
Apple Cider Muffins
Whipped up a batch of these warm Apple Cider Muffins over the weekend. It was only fitting with Saturday marking the first official day of fall. My husband’s been super sick for the last two weeks and hasn’t had a sense of taste or smell. But on Saturday, he woke up feeling a little…
Taco Pasta
It’s been a wing-it kind of week for dinner. Quesadillas…Cereal…Soup… Just whatever we had on hand. With no planning on my part. Then we had this Taco Pasta. It turned out to be a great last minute, no plan kind of meal. Got this one from my sister-in-law, who…
Pepperoni Pizza Spaghetti Casserole
This dish is a combination of my boys’ favorite meals–pizza and spaghetti. It’s like a deep-dish spaghetti pie with pepperoni in every bite, is perfectly cheesy, and has a thick pizza-like crust of spaghetti noodles. Sounding delicious? It’s a lot easier than making a pizza but takes a little more…
Skinny Enchiladas
My typical Mexican dining experience looks a little like this… First-I stuff my face with so many chips and salsa that I no longer have room for the three chicken and cheese enchilada special I just ordered. And of course I’ve already guzzled three diet cokes. When that enchilada special shows up…
Slow Cooker Peaches ‘N Cream Oatmeal
Coming from a girl who hated oatmeal as a kid, it’s now one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast. And I love how thick and creamy it is when you cook it in a crock pot. What I like best though, is that you’ve got a warm bowl of breakfast ready the…
Peachy Chicken & Gouda Cheese Quesadilla
It’s peach season it Utah and we just picked up our first 20 pound box over the weekend. In just a few days we’ve stuffed our faces with peach-everything. This Peach, Chicken and Gouda Cheese Quesadilla has quickly become one of our favorites. It’s quick and easy and great for lunch or dinner….especially if…
Easy Baked Biscuit Donuts
We seriously live right across the street from a grocery store. Right across the street. Do you know how many times I go to this store in a week? I really shouldn’t say, and Brett really doesn’t need to know. But do you know what it’s like living across the street from a grocery…
