Grilled Chipotle Shrimp Salad

August 6, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

August is always so crazy hot and humid here. The sticky weather makes it hard to think about eating anything that requires cooking. I tend to turn to salads all the time because they are cool and refreshing. I always want some protein with my salad too but hate the idea of heating up the kitchen to cook it. This grilled chipotle shrimp salad is the perfect solution because it requires almost no cooking and tastes amazing!

This chipotle shrimp salad is the perfect hot weather lunch option.

Turkey, Spinach and Macaroni Bites

January 28, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Weeknights around here are crazy. I get home just in time to cook dinner and then it is time to check homework, take showers and get the kids in bed. I like to spend as much quality time with the kids as I can so I aim for meals that are delicious but easy to make. Right now, the only thing my four year old will eat with a spoon is guacamole so I have to make sure we have some finger friendly foods on the table too. I spend a lot of time trying to think outside of the box to ensure he gets more than just chicken nuggets and French fries. One of my favorite ways to get vegetables into him {and his sister} is to mix them with some of their favorite foods. That is how I created these turkey, spinach and macaroni bites.

Macaroni and Cheese bites mixed with healthy spinach and protein packed turkey. This is a great kid friendly food!

Italian Meatball Soup

December 5, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

For years, we have always gotten together and decorated our Christmas tree with friends and family. I love sharing one of my favorite Christmas activities with those that I love. Of course, with out busy schedules, we often end up decorating the tree during dinnertime which means hungry stomachs come along with the Christmas cheer. I like to have something that is easier to make but also filling for everyone to enjoy in between hanging ornaments. One of my favorites is Italian Meatball Soup.

Chicken and Vegetable Coconut Curry

October 29, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Quick weeknight meals are a must in our house so I am so excited to partner with Imagine® Organic Culinary Simmer Sauces for this post to show you how a great meal can be made in under 15 minutes. As always, while I may have been compensated for this post, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

Weeknights are crazy in our household. I try to skip take out and limit eating out to once per week so having easy to make dishes that come together quickly are a must. On top of that, they actually need to taste good too so my family will eat them. That can be a tall order unless we want to eat spaghetti every night! This chicken and vegetable coconut curry is perfect for the times when I need something on the table fast that also tastes great.

Chicken and Vegetable Coconut Curry that is ready super fast and is so delicious. I can't wait to try it.

Turkey, Apple and Brie Bites

October 9, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

I am always excited to partner with quality food brands like Hillshire Farm. As always, even though this post was compensated, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I don’t think I’ve talked much about some of my recent changes in eating. I’ve cut out a lot bread and pasta items that I used to eat all the time. I still enjoy them from time to time but they don’t dominate my meals as much. Instead, I like to combine protein with fruits and vegetables whenever possible. It seems like I am always short on time so being able to have a few items on hand that I can grab on go is key. One of my newest favorite grab and go items are these turkey, apple and brie bites.

Only three ingredients to make a snack that is BIG on flavor. Yum!

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!

One Pot Chicken Enchilada Pasta

September 16, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

I think every family has a go to food that they make over and over because everyone loves it. In our household, that is pasta! While I may prefer something like a butternut squash and sage pasta and Mathlete likes the sausauge and pepper version, we can all agree that pasta is what we want for dinner. Plus, pasta cooks fast making weeknight meals way easier to actually get on the table on time. How about we make it EVEN easier though by making a one pot chicken enchilada pasta?

Anything I can make in only one pot is winner for me. This pasta looks amazing.

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.

Herbed Shrimp Pesto Pizza

August 25, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

As a food lover, I am excited to be partnering with Pompeian to share with you a recipe using one of their olive oils. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

For me, shrimp and butter are made for each. Think of shrimp scampi and how amazing it tastes basted in all that butter. I can think of very few times that I have cooked shrimp in anything but butter {unless it was shrimp cocktail of course}. August is National Olive Oil month and Pompeian is working to get people to take the Pompeian Pledge to swap butter for Pompeian olive oil in one of their favorite recipes. I recently made herbed shrimp pesto pizza and when I typically would have reached for the tub of butter!
