  • One Pan Sausage & Veggies

    YES you read that right this is a one pan dinner…yes ONE pan.  Even better it is loaded with veggies and yummy turkey smoked sausage making this dish not only easy but also delicious and not so bad for you too. Season, Season, Season To make this dish really stand out it is all about the seasoning.  To keep it simple though I chose a seasoning mix that brought a ton of flavor but you probably already have everything you need in the pantry.   I mixed together salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and dried parsley.   If you wanted to use your favorite all purpose seasoning you could…

  • A whole new way to Fajita

    I could literally have a fajita, of some sort, for every singe meal.  Yes for breakfast, lunch and dinner and maybe even a snack.  As much as I love fajitas, sometimes I just don’t want to take the time to fix them…well that is until now. Peppers and Onion…OH YEAH! One of my favorite parts of any fajitas are the peppers and onions.  I just love the little charred bits and the hint of sweetness and a little spice in each bite.   Even better they add a ton of flavor to the meat, in this case chicken, which makes them a must have in all my fajita dishes.

Not your ordinary steak The Hubby loves steaks, and is always up to grilling his favorite cut of meat but this time it is going to be so much more than just a grilled steak…he just doesn’t know it yet. First off we need to season the steaks.  Most of the time I like to keep things simple with just a little salt & pepper but for this steak I want something a little different so I am going to add…

  • Roasted Balsamic Veggie Goodness

    Over the last few years I have learned to LOVE veggies.  I love them raw, grilled & steamed but my favorite is roasted.  And these roasted veggies are my ALL TIME FAVORITE!! Good for you… Now we all know that veggies are a good choice but when you make them extra yummy they become a GREAT choice.  The key to make them even better than normal is all in the seasoning.  Just a little goes a long way.  So with a little extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili powder you can take ordinary and make it extra-ordinary. Since the veggies are loaded with goodness for you splurge…
