Having a Cinco De Mayo party? These honey-lime baked chicken taquitos are sure to be a hit. Serve them as an appetizer or even the main dish. The honey-lime sauce used to marinate the chicken gives these babies a bit of sweet and savory in every bite. Brett gave his usual “nod of approval”…
Main Dishes
Naked Turkey Burgers with Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms
I don’t usually crave hamburgers. (Unless I’m pregnant, then the cravings are severe. I have been known to get emotional about my burgers while pregnant too. One time I balled when Brett screwed up my order. I only wanted meat, cheese, and the bun. How could he get it wrong? I laugh now, but if…
Get out of the Chicken Rut: Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Spinach & Tomatoes
If you haven’t noticed, we keep dinners around here pretty simple (well, almost everything around here is simple). I am a simple-kind-of person. I try to get creative with our simple meals, but sometimes I fall into a rut. Especially with chicken. I usually bake up a few chicken tenders seasoned with olive oil…
Oat and Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenders
Just wanted to share these quick and easy chicken tenders before I leave for Arizona in the morning. I’m somewhat disappointed that rain is in the forecast for our race this weekend. I’m in serious need of sunshine. Fingers crossed the weather gods show me some love. I kind of really like love deep fried…
Chicken and Asparagus Risotto
Brett and I had a quiet dinner-in to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We thought it would be fun to make dinner together {which never happens around here}. Last year for Valentine’s Day we were up at a cabin with friends and they made an Asparagus Risotto that we fell. in. love. with. So we thought it’d…

Super Bowl Food: Creamy Chicken Nacho Sauce
Nachos are a Super Bowl food must-have in my book! They are easy to make and can easily feed the masses. This creamy chicken nacho sauce makes doing both even easier. Throw everything into your crock pot Sunday morning and you’ll have a game-time snack ready to be devoured! My friend Megan, shared this recipe…
Bacon ‘n’ Egg Breakfast Pasta
**This just in, what I am calling breakfast pasta is really just carbonara. It just sounds more fun calling it bacon ‘n’ egg pasta. ————————————— Owen and I have a pretty good morning routine going for ourselves. He wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00, I feed him his oatmeal, grab a banana, and we…
Pumpkin Almond Craisin Granola
My granola making over the weekend was a success! I loved the way it turned out. A friend of mine has been ranting about this recipe, so I figured for my first home-made granola go, I’d give hers a try. There are a lot of ingredients that go into it, and the trip to Good…
