Let’s talk zoodles…you know, noodles made out of zucchini. I got a spiralizer back when I started Whole30 and I fell in love. Zoodles are a great noodle replacement and, with such a mild flavor, you can put them into just about anything. My favorite right now is making Thai zucchini noodle salad to replace the yummy sesame noodles I typically get.

Summer is in full swing here. Our temperatures range from the mid-70s all the way up to almost 100. No matter what the temperature outside, we are always up for firing up the grill to cook dinner. Burgers are one of our favorite things to cook on the grill. While a good beef burger is always a winner, we tend to stray a little from the standard burger fare and opt for something like a chicken apple burger or a southwestern turkey burger. They are so good hot off the grill and topped with a slice of melted VELVEETA® loaf.

Mondays during the summertime are always a little tougher. We spend a ton of time outdoors enjoying the pool or just hanging with friends so it is always a little harder to get back into the grind of the office. Of course, it doesn’t help when I also have wine slushies around the house either. So, in addition to resetting myself back into work mode, I also try to reset my body back in better eating mode. In our house, we do paleo meals Monday through Friday and then allow ourselves to indulge on the weekends. To me, it really is the best of both worlds. I don’t have to give up my cocktails and nachos, but I still give my body really good, real food for most of the week. This week, chipotle chicken with avocado salsa is on my menu.

I am excited to work with Williams-Sonoma to bring you this recipe. As always, while this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Father’s Day is in just a few weeks. I’ve been trying to decide what to do for Mathlete {besides sending him off flying for the day} and I instantly thought of a picnic. We did one at a local winery for Mother’s Day and it was great. One of our wineries has also opened a brewery on the property and I know Mathlete would love checking out some of the beers they offer. Of course, if we are going on a picnic, we are going to need food to take. I wanted to skip our regular choices {like balsamic chicken sandwiches} and I saw some braising sauces made with craft beers at a recent shopping trip and instantly knew I wanted to make a braised pork sandwich with jicama kale slaw.

Happy National Cheese Day! In honor of one of the best days of the year, I wanted to share with you one of our favorite burgers. While I always like a good beef burger, right now, I am totally in love with this chicken apple burger. It is so good, especially when topped with a slice of melted VELVEETA®.

Happy Paleo Monday! Are you ready to start this week off right with a delicious paleo recipe? I definitely am! Right now, the weather here is crazy how which means I want to spend as little time cooking in the kitchen as physically possible. So, I pick things that cook fast to make dinner quick and easy. I picked up some asparagus at the farmer’s market recently and used it to make a yummy paleo lemon shrimp stir fry.

It is grilling season! Once the weather turns just the slightest bit warm, we break out the grill and it doesn’t get put away until the snow starts to fall. Grilled chicken kabobs are one of our favorite dinners and this mustard balsamic verion wins top billing on our summer menu.

We’re huge Mexican food fans in our house. Seriously, my kid eats guacamole by the truck load and we have at least one Mexican inspired dish on our menu every week. So, of course, we are super excited about Cinco de Mayo. The only bummer is that it is a Tuesday which means I won’t have time to put together a lot of stuff for our celebration. Thankfully, I know where to get delicious taquitos and tamales. Then, all I have to do is make a few delicious sauces and toppings so my family can make their own taquito platter. One of our favorite sauces is jalapeno kale dip which my kids think is just avocado ranch {and I am not tell them any different since the word kale would instantly get a disgusted face and rejection}.
