This post is sponsored by Kraft Foods. All opinions are my own. Memorial Day is just around the corner! Which means, it’s time for barbecues and back yard parties! We’ll most likely spend the day getting ready to move, but we will be enjoying good food at some point! I love Memorial Day because it…

Roasted Red Pepper & Cauliflower Quinoa
I’m just coming off of a girls weekend in Moab, Utah and it was just what this mama needed- hiking, laying at the pool, great food, jeeping, chick flicks, pedicures, and lots and lots of girl talk. Kind of the perfect combination of girly/outdoorsy activities. I’d do it all again in a heart beat. …
Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes
This is hardly a recipe. It’s just the best and easiest (and my new favorite) way to cook sweet potatoes! I love throwing these in the crock pot on Sundays before we leave for church. We go to church from 1pm-4pm so by the time I get home my stomach is growling. Something about three…
Quick & Easy Cilantro Slaw
My friend Kelsey brought this Cilantro Slaw to a church get together a few weeks ago. She served it with BBQ pulled pork sandwiches and it was seriously, so, so good. I’ve never really been a big fan of coleslaw, or cabbage for that matter, but I couldn’t get over how good this was. …
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…
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…
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…

Oven Baked Blue Cheese & Cheddar Sweet Potato Rounds
I’ve realized my taste for certain foods has changed since I’ve been married. I like onions. I like buffalo wings. Cherry-dipped vanilla cones are growing on me. And I really like blue cheese. All things I never liked and never ate before I married Brett. All things he loves. I don’t think I even tried blue cheese…
Lemon Pepper & Feta Roasted Asparagus
How do you like your asparagus? I almost always prefer it roasted, prepared with some extra virgin olive oil and a little salt and pepper. No matter how you like it, it’s a super easy and healthy side to serve and I just can’t get enough of it come spring time. This time I decided…
