by Lindsie / August 24, 2016

Spiralized zucchini with sweet roasted tomatoes and pesto marinated chicken breast ready in about 30 minutes. I remember about 4 years ago now, having Supper Club with some of our friends and I had recently purchased a juilenne peeler and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world! When it was our turn to host, I used my peeler to make long skinny zucchini noodles that I cooked with some butter and garlic and then added in some…

by Lindsie / August 13, 2016

School is already in full swing here in Colorado. We’re lucky in our county, and still have one more week until school starts. Anthony’s first day of school EVER is August 23rd. I’m kind of already a mess over this whole thing, that my baby isn’t really a baby anymore, and is a big boy. The first week of school is going to be filled with tears – for me, and I think for Anthony, he’ll just be so excited…

This is honestly the creamiest Macaroni and Cheese you’ll ever have! It’s been a week or so a couple weeks (eeey) since I last shared a recipe.

CrockPot Chicken Fajitas

by Lindsie / May 16, 2016

CrockPot Chicken Fajitas are probably the easiest way to cook fajitas and they taste ah-mazing! I’ve always loved fajitas, especially because it was one of the few times as a kid that I got a meal loaded with veggies that my Dad would actually eat! In our house, fajitas were always a hit, and I always asked Mom to make them! I never realized as a kid though, how much work Mom really put into the fajitas – slicing veggies…

by Lindsie / May 3, 2016

Spring has sprung! Kinda… This last weekend here in Denver was snowy… But, it didn’t stop us from grilling! BBQ chicken is one of my favorite things to grill, but cooking a chicken breast on the grill can be kinda tricky which is why I am such a fan of these BBQ Chicken Skewers! Making skewers out of the chicken makes for a much quicker cooking time, and makes dinner a lot more fun. I like that skewers are so…

Grilled Green Chili and Pepper Jack Cheeseburger

by Lindsie / April 12, 2016

I’m not usually a cheeseburger fan, but there is a place here in Colorado called Smash Burger that has changed my mind about burgers! This isn’t a post about Smash Burger – although if they wanted to give me free burgers or something for a year I wouldn’t mind, but is a post about my favorite burger there, and how I made it at home. You can make your own burgers at Smash Burger. I like this because I don’t…

I love sneaking in more veggies to my meals. These mashed sweet potatoes do just that. By boiling a couple carrots with your sweet potatoes, you can add another serving of veggies and no one will even know they are there! Sweet Potatoes are special to me. When I volunteered with the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, we dealt with A LOT of sweet potatoes. One night, at a 24 hour telethon, D.J. and I helped sort…
