Gruyere & Onion Flatbread
Gruyere & Onion Flatbread is a wonderful recipe for a quick weeknight meal. It’s light and will leave you feeling satisfied without being overly full, and it has great flavor! It’s a little salty but has this rich and nutty flavor from the gruyere cheese and a hint of tang from the red onion. The Lavash flatbread makes the perfect pizza crust. If you aren’t familiar with Lavash, it’s a flatbread that is low in sodium, low in cholesterol, and is very thin (less doughy). I think Lavash is perfect because it is paper thin and get a nice, crispy bottom, so each bite is crunchy. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. This recipe makes 2 flatbreads so go ahead and cut the ingredients in half if you only want to make one. Place one piece of Lavash on each baking … Continue reading

Cookies Galore
Spring will be over before you know it and as we get into the summer months, you might be looking for something fun for the kids to do over summer break. Why not make a fresh batch of cookies? (And then send them outside to recover from the sugar rush) 😊 There is nothing like fresh baked cookies, right out of the oven. I always have to sample one off the baking sheet (for quality control purpose) before they are even cooled enough to transfer to a cooling rack. Am I a monster? Yes. But so are the 1st cookies I want to share with you today 😊 Monster Cookies are giant in size and truly the best! They are loaded with peanut butter, oats, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and M&M’s, so you are essentially combining aspects of your favorite cookie into one super-sized cookie. They are thick, chewy, and a crowd pleaser! The recipe can be found here. Start by … Continue reading

Pesto & Tomato Flatbread
Pesto & Tomato Flatbread is a yummy recipe when you are in need of a quick meal. It’s light and will leave you feeling satisfied without being overly full, and it has great flavor! The Lavash bread is crispy, the pesto has a lovely, fresh taste, the mozzarella cheese is melted and pairs well with the pesto, and the tomatoes are tender and roasted. It’s delicious! Plus, if you’re anything like me, you probably have most of the ingredients at home already so it’s easy to whip up in a bind or when you don’t have other dinner ideas 😊 I like to use store-bought pesto for the convenience, but you can use homemade if you prefer. If you aren’t familiar with Lavash, it’s a flatbread that is low in sodium, low in cholesterol, and is very thin, so it’s less doughy. It’s great when you are looking for a paper-thin, crispy crust or are looking to cut some … Continue reading

Instant Pot Chicken & Vegetable Pad Thai
Instant Pot Chicken & Vegetable Pad Thai is simple weeknight meal that is ready in no time! It’s packed with tender chicken, lots of veggies, noodles, and a flavorful sauce. Pad Thai sauce is a little salty, fairly nutty, and a little sweet in flavor. I think it’s similar to peanut sauce, which tastes great on just about anything 😊 This is a one-pot meal your whole family will love! The recipe can be found here. Start by doing all your prep work. Slice the chicken, zucchini, bell pepper, etc. I like to buy matchstick carrots because they are already the needed size. I also prefer to julienne (cut super thin) my zucchini but if you have a spiralizer, that also works well. Set all the ingredients aside until ready to use. Next, make the Pad Thai sauce. In a large bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients – brown sugar, chicken broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, … Continue reading

Bacon Jalapeno Crescent Roll Puffs
Bacon Jalapeno Crescent Roll Puffs is an easy appetizer or dinner recipe that will be a crowd favorite! I say appetizer or dinner because the recipe is something most people would serve as an appetizer but if you eat enough of them (like we did) they can also be filling enough for an entire meal 😊 Think of this recipe as a spin on a traditional jalapeno popper. You still have the jalapeno, bacon, shredded cheese, and cream cheese but instead of being stuffed inside the jalapenos, the ingredients are wrapped in crescent roll dough. You get crispy bacon and spicy jalapeno, but the heat is cut by the combination of Colby jack and cream cheese. The crescent roll dough creates this warm, soft, pillowy blanket to hold the ingredients together. They are addictive! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook the … Continue reading

Derby Day
Are you ready for the Kentucky Derby? It’s usually held on the first Saturday in May, making it this upcoming Saturday, May 7, 2022. A lot of people like to gather with friends and family to watch the races and enjoy some good food and drink. I believe it’s known as “the greatest two minutes of sports” so why not spend all day in the kitchen for 2 minutes of cheering pleasure? 😊 Kidding…it’s a very fun horse race to watch! I will be preparing the following items to enjoy during our viewing pleasure, and you might notice a theme… Kentucky (where the derby is held) and whiskey/bourbon (sponsors of the event and heavily influenced in the south). Kentucky Hot Brown Dip Whiskey Spiced Chicken Wings Kentucky Oaks Cocktail Maple Bourbon Candied Pecans Kentucky Hot Brown Dip is a rich a creamy dip that encompasses the wonderful ingredients and flavors of a … Continue reading

Cheese Ravioli with Sage & Walnuts
Do you ever order ravioli at a restaurant and wonder why it doesn’t taste the same when you make it at home? Or you think you need to make homemade ravioli for it to taste as good as at a restaurant? Well…you don’t! You just need to find a premade, store-bought ravioli that you like, and jazz it up! My preference is to buy fresh. This is what you can find in the refrigerator section, often by the lunch meats or deli items. These “fresh” pastas usually have a shorter shelf life and only take a few minutes to boil. You can also go the frozen ravioli route if you have a brand or flavor in mind. These options make cooking ravioli SO MUCH EASIER at home because the bulk of the work is already done for you. All you must do is add sauce and toppings and you have a wonderful meal! The recipe I want to share … Continue reading

Ham & Gruyere Quiche
A simple Ham & Gruyere Quiche is sure to please your taste buds so look no further for a quick and easy (yet delicious) breakfast that is perfect for a weekday morning or weekend brunch! If you are unfamiliar with gruyere cheese, it’s a traditional Swiss cheese that is semi-hard and has a rich, creamy, salty, and nutty flavor. It works well as a substitute for Swiss cheese in recipes but also tastes great on its own with some crackers or bread. In this quiche recipe, the gruyere cheese pairs well with the tender and salty ham and the soft and creamy eggs. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. Next prepare the pie crust. If you are using frozen pie crust, make sure it has time to fully thaw before you start. If you are using refrigerated pie crust, let it sit on the counter … Continue reading

Vegan Beyond Meat Thai Lettuce Wraps
Vegan Beyond Meat Thai Lettuce Wraps are a great recipe when you are looking for something healthy or are trying to “eat clean”. They are simple to make, scrumptious, and packed with flavor. I like how customizable they are because you can add any toppings of your choosing when creating your lettuce wraps. If you are unfamiliar with lettuce wraps, think of them as a taco but with a lettuce leaf instead of a tortilla or taco shell. The recipe can be found here. Start by preparing the Beyond Meat. I personally like to use Beyond Meat in a lot of recipes and think it fits well with the flavors in this recipe. It also makes this recipe vegan if you follow a vegan lifestyle. If you don’t, feel free to substitute the Beyond Meat with ground chicken, ground turkey, or ground beef. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Beyond Meat, onion, and garlic. Cook for about … Continue reading

Mediterranean Turkey Bowls with Lemon Rice
Mediterranean Turkey Bowls with Lemon Rice are my new favorite “bowls” to eat and quite honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever make regular rice again – lemon rice is where it’s at! These bowls are FULL of flavor. You have a tomato salad that is incredibly fresh, a Tzatziki sauce that is creamy and tangy, ground turkey that is perfectly seasoned and tender, and fluffy rice that is infused with a wonderful citrus flavor. The recipe can be found here. I know this recipe looks really long and complicated but it’s actually quite easy! We’re going to break it down into 4 categories: Tzatziki Sauce Tomato Salad Lemon Rice Mediterranean Turkey Our first step is to prepare the Tzatziki Sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, garlic, and cucumber. Stir to combine then taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
