This watermelon martini with fresh melon is the perfect way to cool down this summer! The Tall One and I love watermelon, and now that summer is near we can finally get melons that don't cost an arm and a leg. Tasting fresh, juicy watermelon inspired me to make this watermelon cocktail. Not only is it sweet and tasty, it's nice to look at too. You could also make this with cantaloupe or honeydew, or use all three for a really colorful drink. Cheers! ... continue reading...
Tilapia Sandwiches with Spicy Mayo
You can't beat these quick and easy tilapia sandwiches for a fast dinner. They can be on the table in only 15 minutes! These savory, spicy tilapia sandwiches are always a big hit at our house. My #1 piece of advice for this recipe is to use sturdy bread. I chose soft hoagie rolls because I liked the shape, and we had to eat our sandwiches quickly before the bread fell apart. Choose something like crusty French bread or ciabatta rolls, and your sandwich will hold up beautifully. ... continue reading...
Black and White Chocolate Cookies
These Black and White Chocolate Cookies are loaded with chunks of dark and white chocolate. These rich cookies will surely satisfy your chocolate craving! The Pants used to work near a bakery called Specialty's, and he would sometimes bring home cookies for an after-dinner treat. His favorites were the Black and White cookies, dark chocolate cookies with white chocolate chunks. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the Oatmeal Wheatgerm Chocolate Chip, but it's a tough ... continue reading...
Layered Chicken Taco Dip
This easy chicken taco dip has all the goodness of tacos in a fun dip. Make your family happy with this dinner that feels like a party! Boy howdy, I love dips. Usually they are reserved for parties, which is a real shame because dips are so tasty and fun. This layered chicken taco dip could be served as party fare, but we ate it for dinner. That's right. What's the difference between crunchy tacos and chips and dip? Nothing, except one is even more fun than the other. I was going to call ... continue reading...
Easy Weekly Dinner Menu #16 – My Southern Is Showing
Hello, Fellow Chefs! ย How the heck are you? ย I am worn a little ragged but good and happy. ย Do you know that caring for a 2-year-old is a leading cause of weariness? ย It's true! ย The Short One is very, very two right now. ย I don't want to say he's in the "terrible twos" because that sounds, well, terrible, but he is a handful, that's for sure. ย I'm certain that his determination will serve him well later in life, but being determined to get into everything he's not supposed to is wearing this ... continue reading...
Slow Cooker Lasagna with Turkey and Spinach
This recipe is written as slow cooker lasagna, but it could just as easily be made in the oven. If you are home to get it started in the middle of the day and want it to be ready when you get home at dinner time, go with the slow cooker. If you are going to be home a couple hours before dinner time, throw it together and pop it in a 375 degree oven for 45-60 minutes. (You could even make it the day before and store it in the fridge until you are ready to bake it!) Whichever method you choose, ... continue reading...
Simple Southern Lima Beans
These Simple Southern Lima Beans couldn't be easier to prepare, and they pair perfectly with hearty Southern meals. Bacon makes any vegetable better, and it only takes one slice to get that salty, smoky flavor. Try serving these with Baked Shrimp and Grits or Stovetop Barbecue Chicken. ... continue reading...
Cheesy Baked Shrimp and Grits
Being from the South, I'm not sure how I only recently heard of combining shrimp and grits. I have certainly eaten more than my fair share of each, but never together. After seeing two different recipes in one week, I had to try this for myself, and I'm so glad I did! This version of baked shrimp and grits is adapted from both recipes. I encourage you to go check out each one and try whichever one appeals most to you. Just be sure to try shrimp and grits! Try these easy side dishes! ... continue reading...
Snickerdoodle Cocktail
Bring the taste of a favorite cookie to your happy hour with this Snickerdoodle Cocktail! Friends, let me tell you something about procrastination. It can be a wonderful motivator to wait until the last minute to finish a task, but it can also cause things to go terribly wrong. Take, for instance, creating a brand new cocktail the night before you plan to share the recipe. If all goes well, you feel like a creative genius. However, if the first draft isn't great and then you run out of the ... continue reading...
Philly Cheese Steak Pizza
This Philly Cheese Steak Pizza combines two of my favorite dishes into a new comfort food classic! I make no claims about knowing anything about real Philly Cheese Steak. I am from Mississippi and now live in California, but I sure do love the combination of steak, peppers, onions, and cheese. When I saw the idea of turning this tasty sandwich into a pizza, I knew I had to try it. We all LOVED this recipe, and I'm sure I will make it many more times. For the pizza dough, I ... continue reading...
Lime Icebox Pie: An easy no bake dessert.
In the eternal pie vs. cake debate, I have long chosen cake (although this lime icebox pie recipe might make me change teams). The Pants, on the other hand, has always picked pie as his favorite. He will certainly eat cake if it's offered to him, but given the choice, he will always choose pie. His favorite is key lime pie, which is why I tried this recipe. Turns out, I loved it at least as much as he did, and both kids really liked it too. This no-bake lime pie is perfect for warm weather. It's ... continue reading...
