Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
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.

Whenever I am planning a party, I always look for recipes that I can make ahead and then serve hot, cold or even room temperature. Need the same thing? Look no further than this cheesy bacon corn dip then.

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.

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.

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.

We are in the last few days of August and with the new month also comes one of our favorite seasons: apple season. As part of the #CreativeBuzz challenge this month, I used my favorite granny smith apples to create an amazing caramel apple parfait. Seriously, this thing is to die for so just get ready to make it now because I know you won’t be able to resist.

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.

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?
