Taco Stuffed Zucchini

This is one of those recipes that really makes me love summer.  It’s not looking like our zucchini survived this year in the garden, so I’m happy to see that the ones at the grocery store are starting to look at little bigger.  Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to 425 Get a pot of water…

Thai Peanut Sauce

I love playing with recipes of peanut sauce.  I especially like the ones that use things I usually already have sitting in my pantry.  This sauce is really good.  I used it to top the Thai pizzas that I posted just a little bit ago.  This recipe is from my February 12, 2017 post.  I…

Grilled Pizza

I’ve been wanting to make pizza on the grill for a long time and now that we have a new grill – it seemed like the perfect time.  My husband was on board until I started talking about it being a Thai pizza with cabbage on top with peanut sauce.  Mark and the kids opted…

Texan Ranch Chicken Casserole

This is a lightened version from the original with only 329 calories per serving.  This recipe makes 8 pretty good sized servings.  The recipe comes from the Healthy Cooking Cookbook from Taste of Home.  I followed the recipe list as it was listed to keep calories consistent.  Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to 350 Saute…

Cheeseburger Crescent Ring

This was dinner in a hurry and fun to make.  I’m a fan of when little things can be done to make the meal feel special for each person.  In this case there were some with no cheese, some with cheese and some with cheese with pickle relish.     Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to…

Egg Scramble for 1

I’ve been making this for the last couple months once or twice a week because I’m trying to eat more veggies and this is so quick and easy.  It takes less than 10 minutes depending on the veggies you use and how long you like to have them saute. My favorite combo is broccoli and…

Taco Pizza

We had leftover taco meat from our walking tacos at lunch and I had planned grilled pizzas for dinner, so I put the two together.  There’s a quick cheese sauce on top that was so easy and added lots of flavor!  I threw on a couple crunched up chips after I took the picture and…

Walking Tacos!

I’ve had walking tacos pinned on my Outdoorsy Girl board on Pinterest for a long time now and we’ve finally tried it!  They were just as tasty as I hoped and super fun because everyone got to pick what they wanted to add to theirs.  We had these for lunch after a morning of outdoor…

Fun Twist on Smores

I’ve seen posts on pinterest about using fudge striped cookies as the graham cracker and chocolate for smores and wanted to give them a try.  We tried it over the weekend and they were quite tasty.  The first night my husband wouldn’t taste it.  He said that the original way was great and no sense…

Quick Macaroni Salad

Macaroni salad is a summer staple in our house.  It’s the perfect side to anything you throw on the grill and you can make it on a Sunday afternoon and have it on hand for a quick stand-in side as needed during the workweek. There’s nothing particularly fancy about this recipe other than I love…
