For some reason, I’ve been really in the mood for Mexican food lately. Maybe it’s the summer heat that makes me feel like I’m down in sunny Mexico, and I start craving the spices to go with it. Whatever the reason, I’m just going with it. After whipping up some Zucchini Taco Rolls and an Easy Taco Pasta Salad, I was looking around my kitchen for new things to cook up Mexican-style, and I happened… read more

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Anyone who has ever had a vegetable garden knows about the problem of Too Many Zucchini. When the first tender little baby zucchini start showing up in July, it’s great. But as the summer goes on and the zucchini just keep coming, you start to get sick of them. You’re eating them every night, in every conceivable way – grilled, stuffed, sautéed – and you just can’t keep up. There’s even an unofficial holiday on… read more

20 Delicious Cucumber Recipes

Driving home from the mall yesterday I spotted a pop up farmers stand by the side of the road. I stopped and the guy offered me a killer deal on all his remaining cucumbers because the weather was about to take a turn for the worse and he wanted to go home. I ended up with about 30 pounds of cucumbers for just under ten dollars, a total steal. When I got home and… read more

Peanut Butter Cup Smore Bites

If I had to name a dessert that’s perfect for summertime, I’d definitely have to say s’mores. For anyone who never went to summer camp as a kid, these are a classic campfire treat made by toasting marshmallows and squishing them between two graham crackers, along with a square of chocolate. The molten marshmallow melts the chocolate and it all oozes out in a sweet, sticky elixir that tastes like…summer. There’s only one catch: to… read more

Easy Taco Pasta Salad

Summer is a great time for salads. Pasta salad is one of my favorites, because it’s quick, healthy, and filling enough to make a whole meal. But I also really love taco salad, because it’s so hearty and full of zesty Mexican spice. So I figured, why decide between the two? Why not make both at once? This Easy Taco Pasta Salad has all the features of a great taco salad – seasoned ground beef,… read more

Deliciously Easy Casserole Recipes

I love casseroles. They are a no-fuss, one-dish meal that’s easy to make, easy to serve, and easy to clean up. Typically we then use the leftovers (if there are any) the next day for lunch. Casserole leftovers sometimes taste even better than straight out of the oven casseroles because the flavors have had time to meld together. I find myself making casseroles quite often because they are so easy. Here are some Deliciously Easy Casserole… read more

Shrimp and Sausage Foil Packets

With the summer heat going full blast, we’ve been cooking a lot of our meals outdoors on the grill. Fortunately, there are lots of things that are delicious to grill, like shrimp, smoked sausage, corn on the cob, and potatoes. The problem is, if you grill all these things separately, they all get done at different times. What I wanted was a way to grill them all together, as one big mixed dish. Looks like a… read more

Zucchini Taco Roll Ups

Two words I’ve been hearing more and more in the past few years are “gluten free.” Restaurant menus highlight their gluten-free dishes, and supermarkets carry gluten-free versions of everything from pizza to blueberry muffins. I haven’t jumped on the gluten-free bandwagon myself, but I’m trying harder to come up with recipes that gluten-free eaters can enjoy. So when I got the idea for these taco rolls – tasty little bite-sized versions of a taco… read more

Quick and Easy Ground Beef Recipes

When I am home with the kids during summer break, I have a really bad habit of waiting until the last minute to decide what to cook for dinner. I can’t help it. My schedule is packed all summer long and I’m spending as much time as possible with the kids. Please tell me I am not alone here! On nights that I totally lose track of time, I turn to ground beef to save… read more

Hawaiian Chicken Foil Packets

That old summer sun just keeps beating on down. It’s no time to be heating up the kitchen, so I’ve been doing a lot more experimenting with foil packet dinners – meals all wrapped up in foil and cooked over the grill. One of the nice things about foil packets is that they make it a lot easier to grill foods with a lot of sauce, which would normally make a mess of your grill…. read more

Creamy Ravioli Bake

Here’s the easiest way to come up with a great recipe: start with something that’s good all by itself. Then, add a bunch of other stuff that makes it even better. Sounds confusing? Well, here, I’ll show you. Let’s start with ravioli. That’s a pretty simple, tasty dish that it’s hard to mess up. I mean, all you have to do is heat them up with some tomato sauce, and you’ve got a pretty good… read more

Life Changing Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

When you think of grilled cheese, what comes to mind? For me it used to be two slices of wonder bread, slathered with butter (or mayo) with a piece of yellow wrapped cheese placed perfectly in the middle. My mom could make a banging grilled cheese sandwich. They were always paired with a big, steaming bowl of tomato soup. As an adult, when I think of a grilled cheese sandwich that yellow wrapped cheese isn’t… read more

Banana Split Bites

In summertime, it’s always nice to keep your meals light and cool. And that goes double when it comes to dessert. After all, when it’s 90 degrees out, who wants to heat up the kitchen baking a cake or a pie? No, it makes much more sense to go for something light with fresh fruit, or a frozen treat that helps you stay cool. These Banana Split Bites are both in one. They have all… read more
