Mike and I decided years ago that we just aren’t campers. Actually, it was after our first camping trip that we sort-of had an inkling that it just wasn’t our cup of tea, but after our second trip we outright swore off camping altogether. (It’s not the bugs, or the snakes, or even the uncomfortable bedding that gets me. What kills it for me is the fact that I can never just get clean, lol. Dirty feet and sticky fingers are the stuff my nightmares are made of.)...
Grilled Chicken Salad with Corn, Peaches, Blue Cheese, and Balsamic-Honey Syrup
This Grilled Chicken Salad with Corn, Peaches, Blue Cheese, and Balsamic-Honey Syrup is full of summer flavors! Until about a year ago I was completely grill-lazy. Which was strange because I went through a grill-all-the-time phase where I wouldn’t even let my hubby touch the grill. (Ok, that’s a stretch…I insisted on being the primary griller, but far be it from me to completely stand between a man and his fire.)...
Tomato-Basil Turkey Burgers with Garlicky Zucchini and Quinoa Recipe {Plus a Q&A with Denise Austin and a Giveaway of Her 10-Week Health and Fitness Plan}
For nearly everyone I know, February is their least favorite month (even my sis, and it’s her birthday month!). By the time February rolls around, the excitement of starting a new year has worn off and so has the novelty of snow…and the need to constantly bundle up and chug soup to stay warm. Green grass, leafy trees, and color in general are still a long way off and everything just seems kind-of blah. I’ve got something that’s full of excitement and energy to warm you up on a cold February day…how about a chat with Denise Austin, some fabulous fitness motivation, and her recipe […]...
Herbed Chicken and Brown Rice Spanakopita Bowls
Thank you to Tyson Foods for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe for Herbed Chicken and Brown Rice Spanakopita Bowls. I don’t know who first came up with the idea of a meal in a bowl (for some reason, I feel like it was a fast food chain!), but whoever it was is a food genius....
Hot Dogs, 3 Ways
Front to Back: Taco Dog, Hot Dog Topped with Crunchy Slaw with Almond & Apricot Dressing, and Hot Dog Topped with Indian-Spiced Onion Relish I don’t think regular hot dogs will ever cut it again!, my dad replied. He pushed back his chair, threw his napkin on his plate, and sighed contentedly. For my family, it’s not summer without a hot dog party, and now it’s not going to be a hot dog party without going all out. We’ve been spoiled. After all, it isn’t every barbeque that we make three different hot dog toppings! (It’s usually just ketchup, mustard, relish, and onion – “the […]...
Grilled Peaches with Orange Blossom Syrup and Pistachios
Each month Kitchen Play hosts a Progressive Party with six food bloggers who are typically assigned one of the following courses: cocktail, amuse bouche, salad, appetizer/soup, main course, and dessert. The bloggers then have to incorporate the same product into whatever course they were assigned. This month’s challenge was a little different, in that the course assigned to all the bloggers was “Iconic Grilling Recipe” and the theme, which was sponsored by the Ad Council who is promoting new USDA food safety guidelines during the summer grilling season, was “Make This Recipe…Safer”. I love grilling and I was thrilled to be invited to participate in this […]...
Grilled Zucchini
On weekends during the summer my family does a lot of grilling. Anything and everything you can imagine is fair game, from jalapeno poppers to crab cakes, to more traditional things like kebabs, chicken wings, and corn on the cob. Next week we have some pretty tasty plans for grilled stuffed mushrooms and I’m dying to see how they turn out. But so far this summer, this zucchini has been my favorite thing to come off the grill....
