Carrot Cake Muffins
Mom writer here. I know you haven’t seen much of me lately. Perhaps I have been too busy, too distracted, too lazy or too uninspired. But today I have a wonderful muffin recipe for you.
Quinoa Burrito Bowls
I’ve found that the best way to keep myself motivated is by making lists. Whether its a list of long term goals to accomplish or a simple check list of day to day things I need to accomplish. Nate and I decided that by the end of the summer we want to look back and […]
Cranberry, Almond and Spinach Salad w/ Poppy Seed Dressing
One of the best things about living in Utah is living near so much family. Of course there are family member that still live very far away from us But we love that there are some family members that are just about an hour drive from our home. Nate’s brother and his fiance both live […]
Simple Fresh Garden Salad
Tonight I was excited to make a salad from ingredients taken out of my little garden. My garden is small but I have kale, peas, spinach, romaine lettuce, and mint growing in it that were all used in the salad. I was a little concerned about using the kale in the salad, especially worried about […]
Chicken Fajitas
I used to make chicken fajitas quite a bit when Anthony and Aimee were growing up. Then I got distracted or made them one day and decided I didn’t really like them any more, I know, crazy huh!?! But last night Craig was commenting how many mini peppers we had still in the fridge and […]
Roasted Vegetables
Have you ever eaten a parsnip before? In my 52 years I don’t think I had, but I have been seeing them all over pinterest and so I broke down and picked up 2. Parsnips look like white carrots for the most part, perhaps taste like that too. I prepared my parsnips for this recipe […]
Pork Tenderloin
I actually cooked a few new dishes this week and they all were wonderful and delicious and my family enjoyed them all. So I am so excited to share them with you. I will admit none of them are original but I did change them up a bit to make them my own. Sometimes things […]
Eggplant Parmesan
I briefly mentioned that Nate and I are eating vegetarian for the next few days. You can read a little about why we are doing this here. But to sum it up we want to see if it actually makes us feel better. And no, we would never completely cut meats out of our diet […]
Chicken, Rice, Veggie Dish
The title of this recipe is not very original because all it does is describe what is in the dish. But I believe it is yummy and simple and very flexible. I first was inspired to make this because my beautiful daughter-in-law, Jana, made a very similar dish to eat when I was out visiting […]
Raspberry/Blueberry Jam
Last Sunday, I just had the need to create something. Do you ever need to do that? When it grabs hold of you, you feel unsettled until you can create. That is how I felt last week and so I was grateful for the down time Sunday afternoon that allow me to make and bake […]
Crepes
Yes, it was time for another inspiring and wonderful planning meeting with my sweet Beehives – I now know why they are called Beehives because they are as busy as bees. I know it was supposed to be something about them being industrious and sweet as honey, which they are but my little 4 Beehives […]
Rosemary Chicken and Potatoes
I think I mentioned that in my church, I currently serve/work with young women between the ages of 12 and 18. I specifically teach/serve/work with the young women ages 12 and 13. They are called Beehives (because they are learning to be productive, hard working, industrious as bees). Young women this age are pretty silly […]
Shrimp Tacos
I love shrimp. It is one of my favorite foods. I enjoy it battered and fried with shrimp cocktail sauce, I find it delicious grilled with a little seasoning and as part of a pasta dish or salad or taco. I often will order a shrimp dish
Grilled Chicken Citrus Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
I saw this recipe on Our Best Bites and thought; hmmm…. that looks pretty good and then Friday afternoon, Craig and I went to Panera Bread. I had the Strawberry Poppy-seed Salad and thought I could eat this everyday and not be bored, it was so good. These two events hatched an idea and ta […]
