Melon Prosciutto Crostini

June 28, 2016 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Ok, summer is definitely here. We are rocking 80+ temperatures every day and the farmer’s market and grocery store are filled with delicious items like summer melons. With the warmer weather and the longer days, we are doing a lot more “entertaining” {I use that term lightly because it is really me just putting out food and everyone hanging out} and so I am always looking for quick and easy recipes to throw together. Combine fresh summer melon with cheese and prosciutto for an easy appetizer that can’t be beat.

Easy Dinner Recipes Meal Plan – Week 21

November 29, 2015 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Did you survive Thanksgiving? How about Black Friday? I am happy to report that both were successful around here 🙂 Of course, it is time to get back to the grind and it is so much harder after an extended amount of time off celebrating the holiday. On top of that, we are taking my oldest to New York this week so the week is shorter than usual. It is weeks like this that our easy dinner recipes meal plan makes such a huge different.

College football season has started and that means lots of game watching and tailgating has started at our house. We started with the opening game of our favorite team and plan to host homegating parties almost every weekend we have a game! Of course, no game day is complete without delicious snacks to eat in between plays. We love having people over to watch the games and seeing what everyone brings to share. And, of course, I like to make sure there are items on our food table that are one of a kind and never seen before! One of my recent favorites were the BBQ chicken bacon skewers we served.

Strawberry Oreo Cake Mix Cookies

October 2, 2015 By Shannah Coe 16 Comments

My daughter has started watching all the youtube videos about baking. It is a girl and her mom baking these ridiculous cakes but she loves it. I love that it has inspired her to want to spend more time in the kitchen. When she asked to bake something recently, I was already brainstorming ideas for the Cooking for the Cure blog hop to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Of course, pink is the signature color for Breast Cancer Awareness so we decided to make strawberry Oreo cake mix cookies.

TBT: S’mores Pizza

October 1, 2015 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

S’mores Pizza might be the most amazing dessert you’ll ever make! You get all the s’mores taste without the need for an open flame or skewers! Everyone will want a piece, or two! This S’mores Pizza is the perfect recipe to serve at a party, because there is more than enough to go around!

The Just Us Four household is filled with s’mores lovers. We even keep s’mores in a jar so we can quickly get our s’mores fix. Or, when I have time on the weekends, I might make s’mores donuts. Our favorite thing by far though is s’mores pizza. It is perfect for dessert on a weeknight or if you are throwing a party. You won’t find anyone who will turn it down.

These weeks are flying by way too quickly. I feel like I see our grocery guy as much as I see my husband! I really don’t know where the time is going.

Lemon Tuna Linguine

September 16, 2015 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

Quick and easy meals are a must in our house. I like things that require just a few dishes but still taste great. I recently made lemon tuna linguine, using Bumble Bee® Chunk White Albacore tuna, for dinner and loved it! We are always huge pasta fans so being able to add some extra protein into one of our favorite dishes just took it from good to great.

Pumpkin Orange Crescent Rolls

I am excited to work with Minute Maid® to bring you these thoughts and recipe. While this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Do you ever feel like you are always falling behind? You see that mom {or dad} who just seems to have it all together and feel just ever so slightly inadequate. As a working mom of two kids, I get that feeling all the time. I live in a place where most moms stay at home and seem to have endless amounts of time to plan playdates, volunteer at school, supply cupcakes for the bake sale and 1,000 other things. Of course, they also manage to have their hair and makeup perfect while doing it. Me, I’m happy to have lunches packed on time and a decent breakfast for the kids. While some moms are making homemade cinnamon rolls and pancakes every morning, we tend to be more cereal eaters in our house because who has the time. I know I probably won’t ever have time to make my kids pancakes on a busy weekday morning but I can make them pumpkin orange crescent rolls that will bake while I struggle with tangles in hair and forgotten paperwork in backpacks.
