Sheet Pan Chicken and Bell Pepper Fajitas

July 24, 2018 By Holly 20 Comments

If you’ve been following us on social media, you might know that I spent a good portion of the month eating my way through the mediterranean. It was a lovely trip filled with gelato, amazing Greek food, and fantastic Italian drinks. I’ll definitely be posting more on my trip (and some travel inspired recipes!) later this summer, but as I transition back into real life and recover from jet lag, I’ve been relying on quick and easy recipes to get dinner on the table for my family. These Sheet Pan Chicken and Bell Pepper Fajitas are the perfect weeknight meal.

Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Jalapeño Chimichurri

May 22, 2018 By Lane 47 Comments

Summer is here and I just can’t stay away from the grill. Seems like now that the weather is warm, everything needs grill marks, and everything needs to be eaten outside. Am I right? We are lucky enough to partner with Queen Creek Olive Mill, and in my mail a few weeks ago was a bottle of their amazing Fresh Crush Jalapeño Olive Oil. I was having a hard time narrowing down the million ideas I came up with to use this oil, but I finally settled on these Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Jalapeño Chimichurri. Quick, easy and delicious. Try them for yourself! Or better yet, make them for a friend-they will thank you!

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Chickpeas

May 15, 2018 By Holly 6 Comments

Like so many others, I’ve become somewhat of an Instant Pot fanatic. When I first bought my Instant Pot, it sat in the box for about six months, coming out only to serve as a glorified rice maker. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s a great rice maker, but I didn’t really appreciate just how great this kitchen instrument was until I started using it to fast track healthy dinners for my family. Over the past year, it’s become a go-to tool for soups, stews, roasts, and countless large batches of quinoa. I love that it allows me to produce meals that taste like I’ve been working on them all day, but in reality, came together in less than an hour. My latest IP favorite? This simple recipe for Instant Pot Coconut Curry Chickpeas.

Instant Pot Black Bean Tacos with Avocado Crema

April 3, 2018 By Lane 13 Comments

Without further ado, here is the recipe for the Instant Pot Black Bean Tacos with Avocado Crema that I had promised you all! (and for extra yum, they contain butternut squash as well!)

I recently hosted one of my book clubs and decided the theme should be tacos. The book was “Americanah”, and if you’ve ever read this book you’re wondering right now where I got the idea for a taco theme. Spoiler alert, my mind works in mysterious ways. I can’t explain it. I won’t even try. But for some reason, this book made me decide to create a recipe for Instant Pot Black Bean Tacos with Avocado Crema and I’m sure glad it did. …

You might have heard this story before, (you’ve probably lived this story before) but this particular ending is delicious! This Farro Salad is worth reading about!

I recently went out to lunch with a group of friends, at a restaurant I go to frequently. While looking at the menu, I was tempted to order my “usual”, but instead decided to take a chance on this Farro Salad. Thank goodness I did! As soon as I started eating, I decided this was a dish I needed to create at home. ASAP.

Lemon Roasted Shrimp with Broccoli and Rice: A Sheet Pan Dinner

February 27, 2018 By Holly 20 Comments

If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, you may know that I’m a really big fan of one-pot and sheet pan style dinners. Like so many busy parents, I rely on a well tested rotation of weeknight dinner recipes to get through those busy weeks. My personal collection of go to recipes seems to have a common theme: they are all easy to prepare, don’t need fancy ingredients, and don’t make a huge mess (because, let’s face it, dishes are the least fun part of cooking!). Recently, I’ve been looking to add some new dishes to our rotation and with winter seemingly never ending around here, I wanted to get some more bright flavors onto our plates. This week’s recipe for Lemon Roasted Shrimp with Broccoli and Rice does all of that and more. I think you’ll love it!

This is the frittata of my dreams. Cheesy, packed with flavor and so, so easy, Southwestern Frittata is a keeper.

And with no kids and no husbands to cook for, we had full artistic license! SO MUCH FUN. I’m so excited to share all of the new recipes we created, starting with this Southwestern Frittata!
