Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Bagels

 If you like spinach artichoke dip, you'll love this recipe. It is full of cheesy yumminess! It's a quick, easy, and filling lunch or you can serve it as a dinner on the go too. 

I bought a package of plain bagels and planned to top all of them with this filling. I used one block of cream cheese as called for but added a lot spinach and artichoke hearts to bulk it up. I also eliminated a lot of the cheese because I really didn't think it was necessary with the cream cheese base. Everyone loved these open faced sandwiches and we didn't miss the extra cheese at all. They were delicious even with considerably cutting back the cheese. 

Chicken Shawarma

 

This might be one of my favorite meals! The seasoning on this chicken is soooo delicious. We all practically inhale the chicken as soon as it comes off the grill. The addition of the greek yogurt sauce and veggies in a pita, make this a perfect, balanced meal. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

This recipe calls for 2lbs of chicken thighs. You could halve it if you'd like but I promise you will have no trouble eating any leftover chicken. It really is that good!

Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe

When I stumbled across this recipe, I immediately thought back to the Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches we had on vacation in Philly. Wow...were they amazing! If this recipe could come close to achieving those flavors, I knew I'd be one happy mama. 

This recipe did not disappoint! It was amazing! It is a great way to use ground beef (or venison for us) in a new way with a totally different flavor. 

Butternut Squash Soup with Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

If it was up to me, we’d have soup multiple times a week. Perfect meal on a cold evening but…my kids are not soup lovers so it’s a treat for me to actually enjoy it for dinner. Tonight was a treat since I got to have a big bowl of this tasty Butternut Squash Soup. Most times, I’ll make a batch of soup over the weekend and bring it to work each day for lunch. Butternut squash soup has always been one of my favorites. I love the creamy texture. Lexie says it’s like baby food but I totally disagree. I’ve tried numerous squash soup recipes and thought that this one was pretty good. It have a good amount of flavor and spice. The grilled cheese with apple slices sold the kids on this dish!
