Owen has been asking me for weeks when it’s going to be summer again. And lately, we’ve been having 50 degree, spring-like weather (sorry for those of you still buried in snow). So we’ve all been running around with no coat, Owen’s wearing shorts and a t-shirt every day, and so excited summer is here….

Salmon Fajita Boats with Tomatillo Vinaigrette Dressing
One week from today Brett and I will be on our way to the sunny beaches of the Southern Caribbean. We’re going on our first cruise– our first vacation away for more than three days. We’ll be gone an entire week. As much as I love my kiddos, this momma needs a break vacation. I’m…
Slow Cooker Green Chile Chicken & Quinoa Chili
The other day on facebook I asked you what kind of recipes you’d like to see on ST&M this year. I know I can’t please everyone, and I want to stay true to the recipes I like to make for my family (and recipes I actually eat), but I do want to make things you…
Roasted Garlic & Herb Buttered Green Beans with Toasted Almonds
Brett and I are hosting Thanksgiving dinner here. My parents, grandma, and brother will be arriving the day of so it’s up to me and my sister-in-law Kimi to do the cooking. She’s already offered to do the rolls. Whew. Her rolls are a labor of love. I love her. My goal is to…
Thanksgiving Salad with Cranberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette
Everything you love about Thanksgiving dinner in a hearty fall salad! This salad is my husband’s idea of Thanksgiving dinner.

Jalapeño Blue Cheese Dressing
You have to make this dressing. It’s kind of like that amazing, crazy-good-and-addicting Creamy Tomatillo dressing from Cafe Rio. Yeah, that stuff’s so good I want to drink it. But this Jalapeño Blue Cheese Dressing is a little different. It’s super simple and made with jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice and blue cheese. And yogurt (plus a little…
Tex-Mex BBQ Chicken Soup
You know what I love just as much as I love pumpkin cookies this time of year? Soup! I want soup every chilly fall day we have. And fall here in Utah seems to be getting shorter…and colder. Seriously, I see snow-capped mountains out my window and the weekend is looking gloomy. Soup is a must! …

This post brought to you by Sargento Foods, Inc.. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve been in a lunch rut. Like, I don’t know what to feed my kids, don’t know what to feed myself, and don’t know what to feed my husband. Yep, I pack a lunch for my husband most days of the week…
Pesto Chicken BLT Pasta Salad
Sorry I’ve been a little absent on the blog this week. After being in Colorado for almost a week, followed by a quick 36 hr trip to Michigan, I’m wiped out. And just trying to get back into the swing of things. But it’s summer, so the “swing of things” can mean whatever I want…
