Cheesy Beef Enchiladas

Cole and I started dating when we were both in high school, but we lived in separate towns 45 minutes apart. This meant I only got to visit him on the weekends. However, one of the huge perks of weekend visits was that his step-dad always cooked large family meals, and he usually was inventiveContinue reading “Cheesy Beef Enchiladas”

Roasted Parmesan Zucchini Coins

In my opinion, zucchini is one of the most underrated healthy foods. It can be used in so many different ways and tastes delicious! So, with that being said, this recipe is one of my favorite quick side dishes. It is so, so easy to make, and only spends 5-7 minutes in the oven. YouContinue reading “Roasted Parmesan Zucchini Coins”

Garlicky Grilled Shrimp

I can remember the first time I ever tried shellfish. My grandma always bought the holiday platters with shrimp and cocktail sauce to serve at our family gathering on Christmas Eve. In my childhood curiosity I wanted to try one so badly, but I was nervous because my dad was allergic to all forms ofContinue reading “Garlicky Grilled Shrimp”

Summertime Crisp

Desserts are simply the best. There, I said it. Most of the time I hold a strict mantra that, “Dessert is not worth eating unless it has chocolate in it.” However, Cole loves fruity desserts, especially ones that have apples or peaches in them, so out of love for my husband, I decided that thisContinue reading “Summertime Crisp”

Growing up I was never one of those kids that struggled with eating vegetables; however, I do firmly believe that all vegetables need a little something added to them, even if it’s just a little bit of butter. One of my favorite ways to add some flavor to certain veggies is with Parmesan cheese though.Continue reading “Parmesan Crusted Asparagus”

Huevos Rancheros

The first time I ever had this dish was the morning after attending a holiday party thrown by Cole’s work in a cute little town on the shores of Lake Superior. The town was so adorable, and clearly catered to tourists staying on the lake, so we decided to go to one of the localContinue reading “Huevos Rancheros”

Painting Oak Kitchen Cabinets

Okay, I’m going to start out this blog post by saying that I am by no means an expert on this topic. I am simply a person that loves to cook, who wants my dream kitchen. However, I am also a very frugal person, so I know that I will never be able to justifyContinue reading “Painting Oak Kitchen Cabinets”

Healthy Chicken Enchiladas

Cole and I both love enchiladas, but a lot of recipes for them are not super healthy, and this summer we are both trying to be a little more careful about what we are eating. After discovering the delicious goodness of goat cheese, I decided to whip up an enchilada recipe that takes calories andContinue reading “Healthy Chicken Enchiladas”

Open-Faced Avocado Breakfast Sandwich

Since I am off work in the summer, one of my favorite indulgences during those three months is sleeping in until 9:30 every day and making myself brunch instead of lunch. Even though there are so many delicious brunch foods, I try to keep it on the healthier side. More specifically, I try to incorporateContinue reading “Open-Faced Avocado Breakfast Sandwich”

Fried Over Easy Eggs

How to Achieve the Perfect Runny Yolk Fried eggs are one of my favorite breakfast foods. They taste great with so many different flavor combos, whether they are served with toast, on a breakfast sandwich, or on a bed of spinach. But everyone knows that the perfect fried egg is the one that you cutContinue reading “Fried Over Easy Eggs”
