Citrus Garlic Chicken with Coconut Lime Rice
Citrus Garlic Chicken with Coconut Lime Rice – Chicken dinner made with tons of citrus for a bright and fresh dinner. Plus rice cooked in coconut milk and toss with lime for the perfect side dish. I love a good chicken dinner. And I think that most people do. It is just so darn easy…
Taco Pasta
I think this was one of the first things I pinned when I joined Pinterest! That site is amazing, so much better than just bookmarking. It is addicting, which can be a problem! I love following new people, so join me over there! I am always struggling for dinners that all of us can enjoy….
Hyderabadi Biryani
This has been a crazy busy week and weekend! I haven’t even turned on the computer in the last 3 days! The start of this week does not look any better, but hopefully by Wed I will be back to normal. At least that is what I keep telling myself! But there is an end…
Grilled Margherita Pizza
It has been a great weekend to have our 6 year old stay with his Grandparents. We got lots done around the house, got to spend time together, and got to see friends. Very excited to see him again, and hear all about his adventures. I am sure the car ride home will be full…
Creamy Penne with Sausage
I saw this recipe on That Skinny Chick can Bake awhile ago. I was immediately sold! I had tomatoes and rosemary in my garden, and this was the perfect thing to use them in. Well, I couldn’t wait for my tomatoes – they just aren’t turning red! So I used canned tomatoes, and it awesome!…
BLAT’s and Award
BLAT’s are one of my favorites in the summer. It isn’t traditional I know. People think I am strange, and don’t know what I am talking about. But the A is for Avocado! It goes perfect on a BLT. But then it really isn’t a BLT anymore is it? So I have to call it…
Creamy Avocado Pasta
I think I found a new favorite pasta recipe! I saw this mentioned somewhere, and was intrigued. I had to think about it for awhile though, I was a little nervous. I mean, I LOVE avocado’s, but the idea of that as my pasta sauce made me a little nervous. What would it taste like? …

Barbeque Ribs
Memorial Day is all about grilling right? So we spent the weekend using our grill as much as we could! Brats, hot dogs, chicken, ribs, potatoes – pretty much every meal! It was great to get out of the “kitchen” and be outside! Ribs have to be one our favorites, and have been for awhile. …
Chicken Vindaloo
Chicken Vindaloo – A spicy Indian curry you can make at home. Lots of spices some together for a super flavorful dinner. Serve over rice or with naan bread. Indian food is relatively new to me. I have been experimenting with it more and more like Easy Coconut Chicken Curry. I grew up in a…
Chicken Burrito Pizza
In case you missed it, Cinco De Mayo was yesterday! In honor of this holiday I decided to try a recipe that caught my eye in Shape magazine. I love all things Mexican – chips and salsa, guacamole, enchiladas, tacos, the rice, fajitas….pretty much all of it. I think I could eat it everyday,…
Char Siu Pork Roast
I had printed this recipe from Cooking Light a LONG time ago, and really really wanted to try it. I finally got around to it. I hate it when your expectations are so high, and it just doesn’t live up to it. I love Asian flavors, and pork – so I thought this would be…
Finally Spring
It is finally starting to feel a little like spring. It has been a long time coming this year in Iowa. We went from 80’s one weekend, to snowing the next! And since, it has just been rainy, windy, and cold! So this weekend when it was finally sunny and in the 60’s it was…
