Bruschetta Chicken – chicken marinaded and grilled, then topped it tomato and garlic bruschetta. Healthy, quick, easy, and delicious! As soon as summer hits I want to eat everything off the grill and use all the ingredients from the garden. It can be easy Turkey Burgers or even grilling steak, I want to eat it…
Easy Homemade Salsa – quick and easy salsa you can make in minutes all year round, using ingredients you probably have in your pantry already! What a crazy weekend! It started bright an early on Saturday morning with a game of tennis. The lessons my 10 year old is taking are sure paying off. After…
Easy Balsamic Bruschetta – Fresh summer tomatoes make the best bruschetta! Top with single serve balsamic vinaigrette packets, and you can have bruschetta for 1 or many, any night of the week! What a fun weekend, not ready to be back to work yet. I spent the weekend in Denver with a friend for a…
We are in the last few days of August. Hard to believe how fast the summer flew by. This weekend my husband and I celebrate 13 years of marriage. We actually have a friend who is going to watch our 9 year old so we can go out! Not sure what we are doing yet,…
I can not believe today is the last real day of summer break. The summer has really just flown by. Yesterday, I took my son to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. He loves exploring there, and having fun with all of the hands-on exhibits. We have also had some of friends over to…
Today I am teaming up with a great group of bloggers, Partnership for a Healthier America, and All-Clad to help raise awareness of childhood obesity. The theme for this event is back to school, which couldn’t come at a better time for me. School starts for my 3rd grader tomorrow!
Fresh Tomatoes and Basil make the perfect Bruschetta. Great for snacking, light dinner, or an appetizer. Is your garden exploding with tomatoes right now? Mine is going crazy! We got back from a couple days away, and I picked a big mixing bowl full of tomatoes. There are still tons out there that are almost…
My cooking club is back! We took a break over the summer since it would be nearly impossible for us to meet with kids home. We met last Friday, and it was great to just relax, and have a wonderful lunch. This month the theme was Tomatoes! Oh the possibilities….. I almost made Bruschetta. But…
Have you ever seen one of those robotic vacuums in person? I have seen the commercials, but that is the extent of it. I never thought they would work well, so I kind of wrote them off. But apparently my techy husband has been eying them. He found a good deal on one, and ordered…
I personally don’t think you can watch the Superbowl without chips and salsa. They just go together in my opinion. I personally love margaritas with my chips and salsa (hello girls night), but I think that is frowned upon with the manly Superbowl crowd. So I will go with Tom’s Pomegrante beer with my salsa…
I made this salsa the other day, and it got my husband and I talking. He said this was the first salsa he learned how to make during his summer in Colorado, 12 years ago. I remember that summer after he came back from Colorado us running all over Madison looking for a Smart Chopper…
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 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…
