Many people probably think of salads as a traditionally summer dish. I will say that I'm a big fan of salads in the summer. Throwing together fresh summer produce and topping it all with some grilled protein is a win in my book. But fall also has one of my favorite produce items: squash. I love to roast squash, put it in soups and stews, or puree it for my kids to mix into their oatmeal and yogurt. It's packed with vitamins, can made in sweet or savory dishes. Pumpkin pie is one of my absolute ... continue reading...
Apple Cheddar Pop Tarts
I think a lot of us probably have the foods we ate as kids that were a rarity. For me, pop tarts fell into that category. I'm not sure if that's due to their lack of nutritional value or not, but for some reason they weren't a frequent purchase at the grocery store. My favorite flavors were the brown sugar and cinnamon and the classic strawberry. I haven't had a pop tart in years, and now that I know how easy it is to make them at home, I may never go back! The exception for me is when I run ... continue reading...
Rosemary Dijon Chicken Thighs
I am a huge fan of my cast-iron skillet. I have dreams of someday owning this one, but for now, I'm super happy with my well-loved significantly cheaper one. You can bake cobblers, skillet cookies, and other delicious treats in it. I use it most for dishes that start on the stove and finish in the oven, like this one. I love my skillet, and I also love chicken thighs. Needless to say, chicken is a popular meat to cook. Chicken breasts are so easy to throw in the crock pot, roasted chicken ... continue reading...
Apple Cider Baked Oatmeal
The very first time we took a flight after Lleyton was born, we decided to book a red-eye to Chicago. Some kids do really well on red-eye flights and sleep the entire time. Our then 6-month-old was not one of those kids. I didn't get any sleep the entire flight and by the time we got to my parents' house in Chicago around 7am local time, I was exhausted. We walked into the house and I was greeted by the delicious smell of something baking and knew that I was in for a delicious breakfast. My dad ... continue reading...
Chickpea Farro Shawarma Bowl
Have you ever had a shawarma? It's traditional some type of meat roasted over a spit, then stuffed into a pita with vegetables and tzatziki sauce, very similar to a gyro. The flavor of the meat is incredibly delicious, but I promise you that with this shawarma bowl you won't even miss the meat! I've written on the blog before about how we try to eat meatless at least twice a week. It's a great way to cut grocery store costs, pack in more vegetables, and make sure we're eating enough whole grains ... continue reading...
