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.

Strawberry Oreo Cake Mix Cookies

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.

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.

Paleo One Pan Italian Chicken

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.

Thai Peanut Rice Bowl

August 27, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

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.

Bacon Avocado Crostini

**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.
