Chicken Avocado Quinoa Salad

May 18, 2018 By Shannah 25 Comments

An easy salad, like chicken avocado quinoa salad, that can be made ahead and enjoyed all week long is perfect for meal prep or just to get ready for a summer party! 

During the summer, I totally crave cool salads but get bored with lettuce based salads pretty quickly. Chicken avocado quinoa salad is the perfect salad that fits as a light main course or a fun side dish at your summer BBQ or picnic.

Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini

April 21, 2015 By Shannah Coe 18 Comments

I love cheese. That doesn’t always marry well with my Paleo lifestyle but I do allow myself to indulge from time to time. One of my favorite cheeses is goat cheese. I love it in salads, pasta and so many other dishes too. I had some gorgeous, fresh strawberries recently and I was torn with what to do with them…besides eat them. I ended up making strawberry goat cheese crostini and it was the perfect Spring lunch.

17 Make Ahead Breakfast Recipes

December 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

With Christmas morning always being crazy hectic, I like to have a few make ahead breakfast recipes that I love to be able to make in the days before. That way, we wake up to a breakfast that requires minimal work and, if needed, can just cook while we check out what Santa brought everyone. Of course, I use these make ahead breakfast recipes all throughout the year too.

Paleo Overnight Breakfast Casserole

December 4, 2014 By Shannah Coe 6 Comments

Having a Paleo Overnight Breakfast Casserole in your fridge for breakfast is awesome! Most of the work is done when you wake and all you need to do is pop it in the oven and then enjoy! This paleo breakfast recipe is a lifesaver on time, and is one delicious paleo breakfast!

Every Christmas, I make a breakfast casserole. It is the perfect thing for us to let cook on Christmas morning while we gather around the tree see what Santa has brought. My favorite version is one that I can put together the night before and pop in the oven when I first wake up.

As I focus on healthier choices, I find myself swapping out things like potatoes for sweet potatoes and skipping bread all together. Knowing I will be eating plenty of homemade donuts and chocolate fudge on Christmas day, I figure I should also have a healthier option like this Paleo Overnight Breakfast Casserole on hand as well.

The perfect overnight breakfast casserole and it is healthy too!

Guest Blogger: Crock Pot French Dip Sandwiches

December 12, 2013 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

Hi! I’m Danita and I very excited to be guest posting for Shannah here at “Just Us Four.”  I have a passion for all things food. I love planning it, preparing it, sharing it and of course eating it! At O Taste and See I blog about my family’s favorite recipes and often the stories behind them.  My husband says it’s about, “Real Food for Real People”, that means, simple, easy, delicious dishes, made from ordinary ingredients.  If your reading about it, we’ve probably recently eaten it.

The Ultimate in No Bake Desserts – Ice Cream Pizza

June 5, 2013 By Shannah 26 Comments

Thank you to Kizmos for providing some cook’s tools for use in creating this recipe and as a giveaway prize for my readers.  All opinions and thoughts expressed here are my own.

It is H-O-T outside.  With the heat comes the desire to avoid cooking anything…especially if it means turning on an oven.  BUT, summer also brings a lot of picnics, BBQs and get togethers so I bet you’re often still on the hook for a dessert.  How about making the ultimate in no bake desserts: an ice cream pizza?
