One Pan Harvest Dinner = Dinner TONIGHT
It is time to celebrate everything Fall & Harvest. Thanksgiving is a few weeks away, the weather is cooler, boots are a part of our everyday wardrobe, pumpkin spice is everywhere and sweaters are back in the rotation. This is hands down my most favorite time of year. Speaking of Pumpkin Spice Pumpkin spice is not just for your lattes or pumpkin bread…it is perfect on veggies and chicken. Yes I said veggies and chicken. I know that may not sound normal or even that good, but it really, really is so good. It adds a little something extra to make it perfect for Fall. It has just the perfect…

Roasting it makes it so much better
I am so excited the weekend is here. Fall is starting to filter in, baseball playoffs are getting exciting and football is what the weekends are all about. To make this weekend something to remember you have to try this Roasted Salsa Verde. Green is better (in my opinion) My favorite salsa has always been a green salsa. I love the hint of tang the tomatillos bring with a little heat and freshness of lime in each bite. I judge Mexican food restaurants by their green sauce. If I want to pour it all over anything and everything then it is a good restaurant. Roasting is the…

Pumpkin Pasta is a must for Fall
SO it is no secret that I love PUMPKIN everything. Literally I am the one who gets tears in her eyes when PSL makes it debut at starbucks each Fall. I am also that girl who goes to Trader Joes and buys EVERYTHING pumpkin they have (even the dog treats). My last shopping trip… There was also a pumpkin kringle in there. I just CANNOT get enough pumpkin!! Really in Pasta? So I am a BIG, BIG pumpkin and pasta fan. My first experience with it was in a ravioli (similar to the ones I got from Trader Joe’s) and then I had it with butternut squash in a lasagna…

Honey Soy Chicken & Rice
As the country celebrates the promise of Fall, here in SE Texas we are recovering from Hurricane Harvey Thankfully my family is safe and dry but so many others around us are not. If you want to help support to disaster relief you can donate here or to the American Red Cross. Anything you can give will be used to help bless a family. Not your Momma’s Chicken n Rice I am all about comfort food. There is nothing better than a good roast, or chili or casserole. It is like a little hug with each bite. Growing up one of my mom’s go to comfort food dishes was chicken n rice.…

TACO Tuesday FUN
It is TACO Tuesday!! I have the perfect recipe for you that is so easy and so yummy you will be making these for the next several TACO Tuesday’s!! Bakes Tacos….let me tell you….they are AMAZING!! TONS of flavor!! First, you start with the ground beef. For these tacos I kept it super simple but don’t worry it is still loaded with tons of flavor from the taco seasoning. You can use packaged or homemade, like this one. I prefer the homemade version as you can add a little spice if you want or make it super mild, I like having options. If you don’t want to use ground beef…

Dinner Party? No problem
Have you ever been with a group of friends or family and decided to have a little dinner party last minute? Well that happened to me a few weeks back. I was visiting with my God parents and my sis-in-law and we decided to have dinner all together. I had already planned on having my weeknight rib roast so it was no problem to add a few more to the table. A dinner for everyone Now I know rib roast is not something you normally make for a quick weeknight dinner, but my dad found it on sale and picked up 2 bone-in rib roasts. One had 2 bones…

Weeknight Grilling Goodness
I am all about the grill in the summer. I will do anything to not have the oven on heating up the house. So whether it is pork, steak or chicken I want it cooked on the grill as often as possible. I love it even more if the sides can be cooked on the grill as well. With this Grilled Veggie recipe, my kitchen may get a 3 month break. SO many options As I was walking through the farmers market a few weekends ago I was blown away by all the great produce. There was summer squash, zucchini, baby eggplants, peppers, onions…and so much more. I couldn’t pick…
