• Spring Brussels Sprouts everyone will LOVE

    I can’t believe Easter has already come and gone and that we are more than half way through April.  That means warmer temps, longer days & humidity in my part of the world.  It also means it is time to celebrate all spring flavors and one of my favorite is lemon. & Some Brussels Sprouts Too Not only do I love lemons in the Spring but I really love them with Brussels Sprouts….especially these roasted ones with a little parmesan cheese.  The char from the outside skins on the sprouts really pairs well with the brightness and tang from the lemon juice and zest.

  • Avocado Cream Tilapia (KETO Friendly)

    The weather is warming up, the days are getting longer and school is winding down…that means Spring is here!  With Spring comes lighter dinners, citrus kissed almost everything and beautiful colors everywhere, even on your dinner plates.

Sure it can be, but it is a special simple.  This salmon is seasoned with a favorite little blend, giving it a ton of flavor while still letting the fish be the star.    You could definitely use some fresh herbs or additional spices if you wish, but this is a favorite blend for us. Grilled?  Why? Why not? I mean it’s summer here in SE Texas and that is grilling weather.  Anytime we can cook outside and…

  • quick, skinny and oh so good fajitas

    I have a confession (one I have made several times before, but it probably needs to be made again) I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD!  I am not overly picky…I love tacos, burritos, enchiladas but I especially love fajitas! I love that you get all the yummies that Mexican food has to offer but without a lot of the calories and fat of some other options (such as tacos, burritos or enchiladas).   You can have fajitas made with beef, shrimp, chicken or just veggies…all of which are good but when I decided to do a quick one pan fajita skillet at home I knew I wanted to use chicken as it…
