Margarita Chicken Rice Bowl

October 8, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

I am so excited to continue my work with Success® Rice by sharing this recipe with you that has become a family favorite of ours. As always, while I was compensated for this post, all opinions and thoughts are my own.

We are big Tex-Mex and Mexican food fans. From burritos to quesadillas, we love the flavors of lime, cilantro combined with a hint of spice. One of my favorite things to get when we go places like Chipotle is a rice bowl. I was at home one evening and really craving one so I decided to make my own version. This margarita chicken rice bowl is so easy to make and ridiculously delicious too. You may never go to Chipotle again because you’ve got something even better that you make at home!

This margarita chicken bowl is so delicious. It is like Chipotle made at home.

TBT – Pumpkin Macaroni and Cheese

October 2, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

So, you know when you make something that becomes a family favorite and you share it with a ton of people {say, on a blog} but the pictures just don’t do the dish justice? Yeah, I have plenty of those cases. I’ve decided that those recipes need the equal opportunity to be discovered and tried so I have been taking new photographs of them and will be sharing them as a Throw Back Thursday series here and there. It won’t be an every Thursday thing but keep your eye out from some renewed love in an old dishes like this pumpkin macaroni and cheese.

The perfect fall twist on a traditional macaroni and cheese. I love the idea of making pumpkin macaroni and cheese by adding pumpkin to the sauce.

Balsamic Braised Beef

September 22, 2014 By Shannah Coe

I love to cook. I would spend all of my free time in the kitchen if I could. The downside to all that cooking is, of course, all the dishes that it creates. I am not a dirty dish fan and would prefer to just pretend they weren’t there. One of my most recent recipes, paleo-ish balsamic braised beef, gave me my biggest dish challenge yet. But, the resulting recipe is totally worth it! It is so flavorful and the meat practically melts in your mouth.

This is the BEST beef dish I have ever made and it is PALEO! Yummy.

Garlic and Herb Pork Kabobs

September 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 11 Comments

We are coming down to the last days of the regular grilling season and I am trying to squeeze in every chance to grill that I can. Of couse, my available cooking time is almost nonexistent right now so I need things that can cook fast and don’t require a lot of marinade time or prep work. That is one of the reasons I love the Smithfield marinated pork products…they do all the work for you. I recently picked up one of the garlic and herb tenderloins and brought it home to grill for dinner. 

Yummy kabobs in under 30 minutes...this is an awesome weeknight meal!

Slow Cooker Cuban Beef

September 9, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

Grab your Crockpot and get ready to make the MOST amazing recipe ever. This Slow Cooker Cuban Beef is so delicious, easy to make and full of flavor!

I have such a love affair with my Crockpot. Once the weather starts to cool a little bit and I move away from grilling everything from burgers to fruit, I start using my slow cooker more and more. Mathlete isn’t always a huge fan of chicken cooked in the crockpot so I tend to stick to beef more often. 

Crockpot Cuban beef is the BEST slow cooker recipe. So easy and so much flavor.

Chicken Satay with Orange Jasmine Rice

September 3, 2014 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

I love creating new recipes and sharing them with readers. I am really excited to have partnered with Success® Rice on this recipe. As always, even though this content is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own and I only feature products I personally use.

So, school started this week. So did gymnastics, play classes for my youngest and just about every other activity you can possible cram into a week. That puts time at a premium and makes going out to eat look really attractive when it is 5pm and I have no idea what to make for dinner. One thing I know is always a hit in our house is stir fry and rice so threw together some chicken satay with orange jasmine rice the other night.

Thai Green Curry Chicken Burritos

April 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 9 Comments

Collective Bias Disclosure

Let’s talk about all the things I can throw into a tortilla, shall we?  This week is Thai green curry chicken.  Yep, you read that right: Thai…Burritos. This whole crazy burrito thing start when I stopped in at Giant the other day to pick up rolls only they carry.  I was struggling with how to spice up our chicken for dinner and saw Campbell’s skillet sauces. I love anything that makes dinner easier but actually adds good flavors to the meal so I grabbed the Thai green curry version and hit the checkout line.  Of course, I rarely do anything just as the package says and so their suggestion to serve the meal over a rice totally went out the window in my kitchen.

Ham and Vegetable Fried Quinoa {Gluten Free}

March 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

Last week, I shared with you my first intentional gluten free recipe.  I say intentional because my friend alerted me to a few recipes on here that are already gluten free.  Today, though, I am sharing with you a recipe that is a favorite of mine that also happens to be gluten free: ham and vegetable fried quinoa.

Cleaning and Cooking in the Kitchen

January 4, 2014 By Shannah Coe 36 Comments

I love to cook! In fact, if I had my way, I would totally spend all of my free time cooking in the kitchen. I hesitate to call myself a chef though because what I do in the kitchen is definitely more playing than anything of actual skill.

Of course, with playing around in the kitchen, comes a bunch of big messes.  I’ve been known to knock over full boxes of quinoa onto the floor or have little pieces of pasta fall onto the floor when I break the spaghetti in smaller pieces for my kids to eat.  There is a little corner in my kitchen that gets all the little extras that fall and don’t get noticed because I am focused on the food and not the clean up.  Then, when I run the little mini vacuum around the kitchen to do our nightly cheerio pick up, that food just gets bypassed because it is too far in the corner for the little vacuum to reach.

Orecchiette Pasta with Sausage and Parmesan

November 27, 2013 By Shannah Coe 10 Comments

I love pasta.  Who doesn’t right?  It can be used in anything from a side dish or become a star in a main course.  I tend to skip the more traditional pasta in red sauce dishes though and look for ones that get most of their flavor from simple ingredients.  When I made orecchiette pasta with sausage and Parmesan, the freshness of the ingredients were where the dish got almost all of the flavor.  Yummy!
