I am always on the hunt for quick kid-friendly meals that I can easily throw together on a weeknight. I’m not calling this a “recipe post” because that would be a stretch. It’s more of a “meal hack” post that I thought I would share because these are the types of dinners we are always …

Awhile ago my girlfriend Sara brought over the best appetizer ever — Tomato Crostini with Whipped Feta, and I’ve requested it every time she offers to bring an app since! Last week she showed up at my house with it again for our wine night and 9 ladies crushed her platter. Naturally, I needed to …
I love a good marinade! We have a few go-to faves in our house that we use over and over and over! I normally prepare my marinades before we go to bed and let the magic happen overnight and through the next day until it’s time for dinner. Today I’m sharing our favorite easy marinade …
I made chicken shawarma quinoa bowls for dinner on Sunday night and doubled the recipe to use for lunches throughout this week. These have been such a fun and delicious change from our usual lunch salads and I have been surprised how well the leftovers have kept in the fridge (I did keep the quinoa …
Matt and I have been on a huge poke bowl kick lately so I decided to experiment with making our own at home. This Hawaiian dish is sort of like a deconstructed sushi roll and is packed with fresh ingredients. To reduce the carbs I used sauteed cauliflower rice instead of white rice and they …
A few weeks ago I used the grill for the first time in my life. I do 98% of the cooking around here so I have always left the 2% grilling to Matt. Plus the grill legitimately terrifies me. Anyway, I had my pork perfectly marinaded and my peach salsa ready to go…just needed Matt …
Last night I threw together the most delicious and healthy dinner — turkey lettuce wraps. Most of the lettuce wrap recipes out there consist of 394583454 ingredients and I just don’t have time for that on a Monday night (or ever). This recipe has minimal ingredients and took me less than 20 minutes to make. …
I recently pulled one of my favorite recipes from my archives — Avocado Chicken Salad. I love how versatile this salad is. You can top a bed of arugula with a scoop of this delicious salad, wrap it up or eat it straight from the bowl. And it lasts for days in the fridge without …
A few weekends ago Lisa’s mom homemade a loaf of zucchini bread for brunch. Each of my kids took a slice. And then another slice. And then another. And then over the next few days Caroline asked me 50+ times to “please make us some sikini bread!!” Finally, I agreed and texted Lisa for her …
I received lots of requests for the Strawberry Margarita Punch recipe from Caroline’s fiesta! I had so much fun creating this punch and it turned out SO good — not too sweet, not too strong! The punch was a huge hit and no drop went to waste. The perfect summer cocktail…
Dinner was SO good tonight that I couldn’t wait to post it! You must make it! MUST! It may look complicated but I promise it’s super simple! After I plated the meal Matt commented that our dinner looked straight out of a gourmet restaurant. Five stars. So good. Grilled Citrus Tuna Steak with Avocado & …
