I have been trying to create light but satisfying lunches to eat during the week that are still quick and easy to prepare with a little man running around. And this BBQ Chicken Salad is a total winner. The great thing about this meal is that it can all be prepared ahead of time then thrown

Balsamic Chicken Pasta Salad
I kind of have an addiction to pasta salad (well any pasta really if we are being honest here) and this Balsamic Chicken Pasta Salad is one of the best ones I have ever made. I love balsamic vinegar and the combination of it with the bacon, chicken, tomatoes and onion was just amazing. It is really fresh and
Lasagna Cups
I have had this recipe bookmarked on my computer for quite awhile now and I just finally got around to making them recently. The big push to make them was when my aunt sent me pictures of the ones she made for dinner one night. She had me convinced and I couldn’t get them out
French Toast Waffles
This recipe was such a fun and easy way to whip up some French toast in a flash. It starts out as traditional French toast but is then cooked in a waffle maker for a unique twist. I have to admit that I have owned a waffle maker for years now but have only
Chicken Caesar Wraps
I’m bringing you another quick and easy weeknight meal this week. And it’s relatively healthy depending on how much Caesar dressing you use. But it’s not looking good for us seeing that our favorite bottled Caesar dressing is Newman’s Own which is 170 calories for 2 tablespoons. This actually isn’t even a true recipe, just
Blueberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie
With the new year comes new resolutions and I of course have the “be healthier” resolution on my list like so many others. Joel and I joined a local gym and I have been Zumba-ing my butt off ever since (it’s amazing and so fun…do it!). In addition, healthy eating has been a priority too.
Sweet, Spicy and Sticky Chicken
Today I am bringing you a diverse, quick and easy meal that would be perfect for any weeknight. It only takes about 15 minutes to prepare but still manages to pack a huge punch of flavor. It also uses common ingredients that many already have in their pantry and refrigerator. Can’t get much better than
Monkey Bread
Family traditions, especially those revolving around holidays, are deeply cherished by Joel and me. We both grew up with special Christmas breakfasts and monkey bread was something that always graced Joel’s Christmas table. Because we still go home to visit our parents for Christmas and rotate houses each year, we have our personal family traditions
Pioneer Woman’s Creamy Mashed Potatoes
I was so blessed as a child to have been welcomed in the kitchen. Since I was young, I helped mix batters (and licked beaters), crack eggs, peel potatoes and “pipe” frostings. It was something I enjoyed and my parents always nurtured that love. I am so grateful that they took the extra time in
