Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Want to take a guess what we are doing absolutely every weekend right now? You know, besides gymnastics practice for what feels like ALL day on Saturdays. If you guessed watching football, you would be spot on. We even toss in a few Thursday nights and Monday nights into the game watching too. The good about all that football watching is it means tons of game day snacks!

I am a total chip addict. If there is a new chip out in the store, you can bet I have to try it. Of course, when we host parties, chips and dip are a mainstay. We have a few friends who have gluten sensitivities and I, honestly, have not found a delicious, gluten free chip at the store. So, instead, I created my own 2 ingredient gluten free chips.

Football season is officially underway and that means TONS of football watching parties, tailgating and other events. Of course, in addition to the game, everyone is also crazy interested in the food table too. From wings to dips, every good football watching party has yummy food for everyone to enjoy between plays. One winner at our house right now: crab Alfredo lasagna dip.

When you are a working mom of 2 busy kids, relaxing is pretty hard to do. Our version of relaxing tends to come in the form of being able to sit down for more than two minutes and not drinking/eating on the go. With the kids heading back to school, I am looking forward to having a few extra hours a week to enjoy simple things like everything bagel chips, veggie cream cheese, and a tall glass of iced tea.

On my current list of favorite things: peaches, corn and grilled chicken. Typically, I wouldn’t have that all together but, with this curried peach corn salsa, I just had to grill up some chicken to put it on top of! The salsa is amazing with chips of course but I love it as a topping to grilled chicken, pork or even fish.

Mathlete’s birthday always falls very close to Labor Day. So, to celebrate a day off from work and his birthday, we usually throw a fun Labor Day barbecue with friends and family. It is the perfect way to close out the summer and get in one last day party before the fall weather starts to set in. Of course, no party is complete without delicious food, especially yummy dips, to enjoy while the main meal cooks. For this year’s party, I am super excited to make tempura cauliflower to go alongside the Heluva Good! Bacon Horseradish dip we are currently drooling over.

Last year, when we visited California wine country, I fell in love with a chicken salad we found at a local market. I always refer to it as the “wine country chicken salad” whenever I bring it up to Mathlete. While I haven’t found it in any markets close to home, I have started making from scratch at home trying to recreate that vacation. Plus, the chicken salad is perfect for parties and picnics because it is so easy to pack and take along.

I am so excited to partner with Bar-S to bring you this perfect summer recipe. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Summer nights are all about getting outside to enjoy the gorgeous weather and firing up the grill to cook something delicious. We are huge fans of grilling for lunch or dinner during the summer because it combines our three favorite things: food, family and fun. Our kids love grilled hot dogs and, for the adults, we add delicious pineapple jicama salsa.

This is for all you pizza lovers. While I was compensated for this post, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I may not have shared this before but I suffer a particularly sad problem of not being able to eat regular pizza. I’ve tried tons of different tomato sauces and none of them sit right with my system. So, instead, I go for white pizzas or sometimes a bbq pizza. Right now, I am totally in love with this amazing crab pizza.

For us, it all starts with Memorial Day weekend. Loads of picnics, BBQs, and potlucks spread throughout the summer. I absolutely love it but do find that I turn to the same recipes over and over again and then wonder if the people eating it are bored. Well, that isn’t going to happen this year! Instead, I am going to use this list of amazing potluck and bbq recipes and wow the hosts and guests of any event I am invited to this summer. Seriously…this list has everything from side salads to chocolate cupckes. The one thing they share in common: they are all ridiculously good!
