I love spending just a few minutes in the morning and then reaping the reward hours later when the chaos is in full swing. I always feel like a good mom when I can feed my family left at home while I am in the car driving other kids.
This chicken taco soup is full of flavor. My favorite part of this recipe is the mexican ...
Breakfast Quesadilla
My kids love helping me in the kitchen. My 2 year old is my biggest help right now--sometimes a little too helpful if you know what I mean! My kids love creating recipes. Working with Johnsville Sausage we have created an easy Sausage and Egg Breakfast Quesadilla that kids can make because my kids will eat anything wrapped in a tortilla.
The hardest part of this recipe is the sausage. But fear not! I want to tell you about Johnsonville Fully Cooked Sausage. All the hard work is done. No ...
Taco Skillet Dinner
Our busy season has already started! We have soccer, piano, volleyball and gymnastics at night during the week making it hard for dinner.

Crock pot meals make easy recipes as well as one dish meals. One of our favorite one dish meals is this Taco Skillet Dinner.

Easy Peach Pie
It is peach season! One of my trees is producing large beautiful peaches that are ready to be picked. My girls helped me pick a few and wanted to make an easy recipe. We decided to make Easy Peach Pie. This recipe can be prepped and in the oven within 15 minutes! The peaches can easily be prepared by using a trick I'll share, the butter/flour/sugar mixture is combined in a food processor and the crust is premade. Put it all together and it is ready to cook. The cooking and cooling time is ...

Lime Grilled Chicken Breast
I'm always on the lookout for quick dinner recipes. Chicken recipes are even better! Sometimes I need a last minute chicken recipe because it was a busy day and I didn't plan dinner.

Avocado Butter
In the summer we grill a lot of chicken, steak and fish. This Avocado Compound Butter is an easy recipe that can be made in advance. When you pull your meat off the grill place a slab of butter on top and watch it melt.
We had a bunch of avocados that were all ripe at the same time. I needed to find something to do with them all so they would not be wasted. We could only have homemade guacamole two days in a row. I created a compound butter that we put on top of Grilled Lime Chicken. ...

One of our favorite Sunday side dishes is Hashbrown Cheese Casserole. One of our favorite days of the week is Friday family night when we have pizza and watch a movie. I thought it would be fun to try something new and combine our two favorites. Potatoes are almost like a blank canvas they are so versatile. We love eating potatoes almost every week in different forms such as baked, ma...
Herbed Sweet Potatoes
Whenever I BBQ I always think to myself, what can I cook as a side dish that requires the grill? Why leave a big open space on the grill when you can fill it with something else that smells delicious! Cooking in foil is one of my favorite ways to make easy recipes. All those delicious juices are trapped inside the foil marinating whatever is inside.
Cooking in foil makes clean up a breeze. Just throw away the foil and you have one less pan to scrub. That is always a good thing in my house!...

It takes a few minutes to mix the rub but then the rest of the time is waiting for the marinating and grilling.
