Mushroom and Spinach Pasta


I wasn’t so sure how the kids would like this Mushroom and Spinach Pasta but I was pleasantly surprised when they devoured the entire skillet. They typically are not huge fans of balsamic vinegar but apparently they didn’t mind it in this recipe.

Sourdough Naan


When I have a little more time to make a sourdough recipe, this Sourdough Naan is one recipe that my kids frequently request. They love to eat it warm, right out of the skillet.

We’ve made homemade pizza with the Naan as the crust. We’ve served strips of Naan alongside pasta. I’ve made it into cheesy garlic bread. Most recently, we topped it with chicken caesar salad and cut it up into quarters to eat like pizza slices. Except Kenxie, she didn’t want hers cut so she folded it up and ate it like a taco. I love the versatility!

Homemade Ranch Dressing


I had some leftover rolls to use and decided to toast them with some leftover chicken and cheese. To add a little twist, I added some ranch dressing to the sandwiches. Since I didn’t have any ranch on hand, I made this Homemade Ranch Dressing.

I add all of the ingredients into a large measuring cup. Once everything is added, I whisk them together with a mini whisk. Once it’s ready, it’s easy to pour out of the measuring cup. Any leftovers go right into a mason jar to keep in the fridge.

BBQ Chicken Tacos


BBQ and tacos are two words that I wouldn’t necessarily think went together but after making these BBQ Chicken Tacos, I know that they BELONG together! These tacos were amazing!

I couldn’t get enough of these…they were that good! Instead of having a third taco 😬, I added some lettuce to a bowl and topped it with the chicken, veggie, and cream. It was a delicious BBQ chicken salad. A little bit healthier without the added tortilla but still all the same flavors.

Mediterranean Chickpea Salad


I had some extra quinoa from earlier in the week so I decided to make this Mediterranean Chickpea Salad to use it up. Great decision…it was a delicious salad that the whole family enjoyed.

The sauce was easy to throw together using my Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus. Gather all the ingredients and throw them in together. A few minutes later, tadah! Beautifully blended sauce with very little clean up. So handy and perfect for smaller jobs when a full sized food processor isn’t needed.

Sourdough Brownies


These Sourdough Brownies may not look the nicest when they come out of the oven but they are a rich, tasty treat. A spoonful is all you need to satisfy that sweet tooth craving!

This recipe reminds me of a flourless chocolate cake. It has a fudge like taste and almost seems undercooked. The brownies are very dense and rich. They are the perfect brownie to pair with a scoop of ice cream.

Sourdough Banana Muffins


These Banana Muffins are loaded with dark chocolate chips. They are full of flavor and absolutely delicious. My kids loved them as much as I did!

I typically like a little added crunch so next time I make these muffins, I may add in some chopped walnuts to some of the muffins for a little variety.

Curry Stuffed Sweet Potatoes


These Curry Stuffed Sweet Potatoes were a filling and nutritious meal. The curry sauce offers just the right amount of spice to balance with the sweet potato and cauliflower. I liked it best when each bite contained a little bit of each ingredient 🙂

It took close you an hour for me to make this meal but that’s because I chose to bake the potatoes in the air fryer and roast the cauliflower. You could easily cut the time down by microwaving your potatoes and steaming cauliflower instead (you could even buy a steamable frozen pouch of cauliflower to cut the prep time even more).

Asian Tilapia with Green Beans


This Asian Tilapia with Green Beans might be the tastiest fish dish I’ve ever made. It was such a fresh, light dish that was super healthy.

Lexie looked at her plate, said “I don’t like fish” then after taking a bite said “I do like this fish though.” That’s a serious Mom win! I do like fish but she was right, this was definitely delicious!

Pesto Shrimp Salad


My kids were seriously licking their plates to devour the last bits of their dinner. This Pesto Shrimp Salad was ridiculously delicious. Needless to say, we didn’t have any leftovers tonight.

Lexie was in love with this sauce immediately. My kids are usually not huge fans of quinoa but it worked so well with this dish. The original recipe is meant to be a quinoa bowl but since I love extra veggies and salads, I used quite a bit more lettuce and served this as a salad instead. Good choice because it was amazing!
