With that other big, giant zucchini I snagged from our neighborhood crop drop, I made some zucchini cookies as well as some delicious zucchini bread. And I’m sharing both recipes today! You’ll be happy to know both are on the healthier side. This Low-Fat Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is from Skinny Taste (love this…

Zucchini Pizza Casserole
I don’t have a garden. If I did, I wouldn’t know what to do with it. But I like the idea of a garden, and having a plethora of fresh fruits, veggies, and herbs in my back yard (and fewer trips to the grocery store). Recently, some of the families in my neighborhood put…
Easy Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Drumsticks
While I was home, we had a little picnic on our lawn with some family friends and picked up a couple buckets of chicken from KFC to eat. Our friend’s little boy, Jake, is eight and I think he scored every single drumstick. Lucky boy! I remember my brothers and I fighting to the…
Chile & Cheese Egg Bake
This is another recipe of my mother-in-laws. She made it for brunch on Sunday while my parents and Brett and I were there. She says it’s great company food, because it’s so easy to throw together, and much easier than making individual omelets or an enormous batch of scrambled eggs. I say it’s great any-day…
Buffalo Wing Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Made these for dinner last night. Let me tell you, I am winning with the low-carb eating husband right now. Knocked his socks off! I think I’ve mentioned it before, but my husband is a wing (as in chicken wings) man. I was never a wing girl until I met him (and his entire…
Faux Fried Rice
I really like cauliflower. I like it raw, roasted, and even went through a phase about a year ago where I was cooking faux mashed potatoes using cauliflower several times a week. I got a little cauliflowered out! That was long enough ago that I can welcome this new phase and use of cauliflower:…
Vanilla Bean Paste Giveaway & Vanilla Bean Coffee Cake
For the last few months I’ve been baking with Vanilla Bean Paste. Oh. my. word. It has changed my world of baking. Vanilla Bean Paste is a cheaper and easier alternative to use when a recipe calls for whole vanilla beans, but I’ve been using it in my every day baking too. Cookies and cakes…
Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Sandwiches
Nobody wants to heat the house up in the summer by turning the oven on. Especially when you’ve been outside all day, and you’re already hot, sticky, and sweaty. Bleh. On those days crock pots can be a life saver. These Chicken Caesar Sandwiches are a nice change up from your typical Pulled Pork…
BBQ Sausage and Sweet Potatoes
This was the first meal I cooked for my husband when we were just dating (over three years ago). I like to think of it as the meal that stole his heart. His football coach at BYU had been putting some pressure on him to gain weight that summer, so I guess I came along…
Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa
Brett and I got an indoor/outdoor George Foreman Grill for our wedding three years ago and while we’ve talked about upgrading for a while, we haven’t ever taken the plunge because to be honest, we love our George Foreman. It’s actually the perfect size for our small patio deck and it gets the job done. …
