simple recipes, easy clean-up
Oh yes, you read that right. Guacamole Linguine. All the goodness of guacamole mixed up with some whole wheat linguine noodles and a little sirloin steak too. Remember earlier this week when I showed you how to freeze an avocado? Well, I pulled my frozen avocado out of the freezer to whip up this quick and easy, creamy pasta dish. I absolutely love this festive pasta recipe. Are you going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this Sunday? You know I {Read More}
Let’s talk steak fajitas for a minute. There are several ways to prepare fajitas, but these steak fajitas are quick, simple, and slap-your-mama-in-the-face good. You can get extra fancy with the toppings you choose to put on your mouth-watering fajitas, but you HAVE to have charred sweet peppers and onions. It’s practically criminal if you don’t. By giving the onion and peppers a good swift kick with a dry hot skillet you break down the juices inside them and they {Read More}
Last December I had the opportunity to go on a very informative tour with the Arizona Beef Council. It was called “From Gate to Plate.” To be quite honest, I told my husband that this tour could either make or break me on my love for beef. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was going open minded and eager to learn more about how beef is raised in Arizona, and how it gets to my plate. I was {Read More}
The lack of restaurants in my new small town is killing me. It’s forcing me to try and re-create some of my favorite meals from back home. One of my favorite places to drive thru for a quick lunch was Sonic. Not only do I completely miss their $1 happy hour {so long Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper}, but their chili cheese crunch wraps have been on my mind a lot lately. There is nothing crazy and awe- inspiring about this {Read More}
I am totally in love with curry right now. This Curry Beef Stew is a mix between a hearty beef stew and a creamy, slightly sweet, and just a tad-bit spicy soup. It’s served best over some hot jasmine rice. It’s the perfect way to warm up on a cold winter night. This creamy curry beef stew is actually light and healthy! It’s full of veggies and lean beef, and a great way to keep on track. I’m usually a grilled steak {Read More}
I love to throw parties at my house, but I don’t like to be stuck in the kitchen preparing a meal for everyone else and totally miss out on the fun. That’s why it’s necessary to host a buffet style type of gathering. One of my favorite types of food spread happens to be a Potato Bar. Just think of how easy it is to throw a bunch of potatoes in the oven and then set out all sorts of {Read More}
There are just 10 more days until school starts for my kiddos. So now the summer panic is starting to set in. You know, when you realize you didn’t get to do all the fun and exciting things you had planned for in the beginning of the summer. And now your kids are going to be ‘that kid’ at school who had a “boring summer.” I’m not joking when I say that I have taken my kids swimming every. single. {Read More}

So when did Jeopardy get so hard? I don’t usually have time to sit down and watch a show, but the other day I had a few minutes of down time and Jeopardy happened to be on. I could only answer two of the questions, and they were in the first round and only worth 200 points. I don’t think I’ll be trying out for that show anytime soon. Apparently you need to be on the verge of rocket scientist {Read More}
