simple salmon = delicious
As I have said before simple really is sometimes the best way to go…and this simple salmon is definitely the best I have had in a while. The Hubby and I love salmon and we have had many different ways. Some with sauces, such as this Lemon Caper Salmon, or some grilled like this Grilled BBQ salmon … but I have to tell you one of our favorites is just this simple salmon and this spice combo makes it AMAZING!! The spices are simple, and you probably have them all on hand…and if you don’t you really should because they can make almost anything yummy…but anyway this simple combo adds just…

one pan & done alfredo
Who doesn’t love a one pan meal…I mean c’mon it comes together with just a few steps and clean-up is super fast making this a perfect dinner option for a busy day. Over the years I made my fair share of one pan meals like this one pan spaghetti and this one pot sausage & potato stew but one of my most favorites it this cheesy one pot alfredo pasta. Alfredo sauce is my favorite sauce to put over noodles and when I can make everything in one pot it makes it even better. Now as we all know this cheesy and decadent sauce can be a little higher in…

A slider to remember
So there has been a ton going on my life lately and sometimes there just doesn’t seem to be the time (or energy) to make a big dinner so instead lets make a little dinner with BIG flavor….Blue Cheese Bacon Slider! A slider is a favorite for me and The Hubby. We eat them out and at home. Sometimes we like just a traditional cheeseburger slider with american cheese, other times we take it up a notch with some grilled onions, a fancier cheese, some veggies and maybe even an egg…but my all time favorite slider is blue cheese with bacon. There is just something so delicious & yummy about the…

lasagna in no time
Do you love lasagna? Do you love how long it takes to make a traditional lasagna? Probably not (at least I know I don’t)…so how about a lasagna that comes together in less than a hour and brings together all the best flavors of your favorite traditional lasagna? Yes, that sounds good? GREAT… then I have a perfect recipe for you. This recipe came together very quickly…I thought The Hubby had a dinner meeting but I was wrong and he came home hungry and ready or dinner. Thankfully I had been to the store earlier in the day and I had picked up some sausage, I just like to have it…

casserole = happy Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner and that means it is time to indulge a little in some delicious Mexican fare. As I have mentioned many times before I LOVE Mexican food…and this casserole helped foster that love when I growing up. Honey (my mom) loved casseroles as they really are perfect for a busy family and we were definitely busy. My brothers and I were involved in tons of activities which made family dinner hard but so important. Some of our favorite casserole were chicken spaghetti, or this king ranch chicken casserole, but this cheesy mexican chicken casserole with nacho chips was one of my favorites for sure. It…

no thai take out here
OK, so yesterday I shared my new favorite sauce (Peanut Sauce) and I mentioned that The Hubby and I love to drizzle it over grilled chicken, but we love it even more when we drizzle it over this grilled chicken. Why this chicken? Well it is all about the marinade. The marinade is loaded with so much flavor…it has soy sauce, brown sugar, siracha, lime juice, fresh cilantro and so many other yummies making this chicken really something to remember. I love anytime I can marinade something that is going to be grilled, especially boneless & skinless chicken breasts. I love grilling anything and everything but I LOVE grilled…

loving this thai peanut sauce…
Not too long ago I was strolling the aisles at my local Trader’s Joe and came across a thai peanut salad dressing. Now I know this doesn’t sound too special but to The Hubby it is was a HIGE find. You see The Hubby loves peanut butter, he loves thai flavors and he loves sauces so really this was a perfect find for him. Now the Trader’s Joe version is delicious but it does have some things in it that I can’t pronounce so I decided I need to make my own version that The Hubby would love and with ingredients that I know what they are…and then this thai…

sweet & spicy…oh so good pineapple!
It is no secret that we love to grill here in Texas. I mean c’mon we kinda live on grilled everything in the spring & summer. We will grill anything that will sit still on the grill (or not fall through the grates)….fruits such as pineapple. The obvious favorites are of course, steak (like this steakhouse steak), chicken, pork anything, veggies…but another big favorite is fruit! Yes, I said fruit. There is just something so yummy about fruits that have been charred a little…it really brings out the sweetness of the fruit while intensifying the flavor immensely. I love grilled peaches for sure but my favorite grilled fruit is pineapple. It’s so funny, I…

stay in for this favorite…fajitas
The Hubby has started cross fit in the last couple of months…yes I said The Hubby is doing cross fit. Now just to be clear, I am not doing cross fit The Hubby is doing cross fit and I am so, so proud of him. He has been so committed and goes at 6:00 AM, 3 days a week and in turn I have been trying to feed him a little better (with a few indulgences here and there). One of the things The Hubby has been really craving and needing is protein and I think he could eat grilled meat 6 times a day, and especially fajitas. He has…

chicken + grilled cheese = perfect sandwich
One of my most very favorite things to eat in the whole world is a sandwich and a grilled cheese is at the top of the list. OK, I know that sounds a little simple from a “food blogger” but I LOVE a grilled cheese sandwich. There is something so yummy to my tummy about a crunchy buttered bread with ooey gooey cheese…and when you add other yummy stuff to that combo it only gets better. Last week I made one of the most delicious grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had and it was all by accident…I just love it when that happens. So it all started with some thawed…
