This has become my new favorite salad of the summer. It reminds me of a pasta salad that my mom made when I was growing up. She would make it with chicken and grapes and it was so delicious! I kind of created this salad by accident one day. I had some leftover coleslaw and …
One of my favorite times of the year is strawberry season. Although I will admit, going strawberry picking is not my favorite thing to do. Thankfully there are plenty of produce stands around here that have them already picked and ready for me to purchase. One of my favorite things to do with freshly picked …
Pizza is a favorite food in our house. We love all different types and kinds of pizza, but our favorite is my homemade chicken garlic pizza. It has a white sauce and is a little different than your usual pepperoni pizza. My local grocery store sells delicious pre-made pizza dough which helps make this pizza …
I got this recipe from a family recipe book after I got married. I’ve adapted it to my own and it has been one of our favorite recipes over the years. This is a bit of a different take on your normal southern jambalaya. It’s made with chicken and breakfast sausage instead of shrimp. It …

While I love cooking meals that take a little prep work and time to cook in the oven, sometimes I need a meal that I can get on the table in a short amount of time. I know that we are also getting into the busy season that includes after school sports practices and recitals. …
In reality this is probably more like a yakisoba teriyaki stir fry since it contains yakisoba noodles, but we have always just called it chicken stir fry. I came up with this tasty dish a few years ago when I was craving teriyaki. However, we didn’t have a decent teriyaki food restaurant in town and …
With just a few ingredients, these burritos are super easy to make and get on the table in a short amount of time. They are perfect for those nights when you need a quick and easy meal. Even though these burritos don’t require a lot of ingredients, they are still packed full of flavor and …
I love this recipe because it’s quick and easy to prep, put in the crock pot and then go. This recipe doesn’t have a thick teriyaki sauce, but all the delicious flavors marinade into the chicken while cooking. Another thing I like about this recipe is that you don’t have to thaw your chicken first. …
