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.

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.

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. I’m sure it is just because we are super busy that it seems to go by so quickly. Busy weeks are definitely when our easy dinner recipes meal plan is a major savior for me. I just buy my stuff and cook my way through the week. Easy peasy.

School started today. I’m pretty sure all the moms in my neighbor let out a sigh of relief mixed with a twinge of stress. Sure, we get back on a regular schedule now but that schedule gets infinitely busier thanks to homework, after school activities and all the other stuff that comes along with school starting for the year. It makes the regular stuff like cooking dinner just a little bit more difficult. Thankfully, we can all embrace one pot meals like this paleo one pan Italian chicken to make dinner go a little smoother.

I am excited to share one of my favorite new recipes using Minute® Ready to Serve Rice. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
Have I told you yet that school starts here on Monday? Can you tell I’m a little stressed thinking about it. I’m looking over our calendar and I can feel at least 10 new gray hairs popping up. I’ve gotten used to a laid back schedule where dinner could take awhile to make and no one really cared. That all changes come Monday because we add in homework, gymnastics, dance and so much more into our evening schedule. Good thing I have items like Minute® Ready to Serve Rice to turn to so I can still create delicious dinners like a Thai peanut rice bowl in the limited amount of time I have.

**I know we usually do Paleo Mondays but, to be honest, vacation kicked my butt! So, enjoy this delicious crostini recipe instead and we’ll get back to the paleo goodness next week!**
So, we totally buy our avocados at Costco. When you have a five year old who eats 1-2 per day, you need to buy in bulk. But, sometimes he just isn’t feeling it and we are left with a bunch of avocados and no idea what to do with them. We can only eat so much guacamole after all. I was having friends over recently and decided to put them to good use by making bacon avocado crostini.

Weeknights get hectic once school begins. Between after school activities, homework and everything else, dinner needs to be quick and easy. Of course, we also want something delicious too. It is nights like those that one pot pasta meals are the perfect solution.
