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.

The weather is starting to really get cold which means it is time to start breaking out the sweaters and ladling out bowls of delicious chili. Paleo chicken chili is hearty and full of flavor. It is the perfect thing to warm you up on a cold, winter day. It makes a bunch too so you can look forward to leftovers!

Strawberry Oreo Cake Mix Cookies

October 2, 2015 by Shannah Coe 16 Comments

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

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.

Easy Dinner Recipes Meal Plan – Week 12

September 26, 2015 by Shannah Leave a Comment

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.

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.

Pumpkin Orange Crescent Rolls

September 8, 2015 by Shannah Coe 5 Comments

I am excited to work with Minute Maid® to bring you these thoughts and recipe. While this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Do you ever feel like you are always falling behind? You see that mom {or dad} who just seems to have it all together and feel just ever so slightly inadequate. As a working mom of two kids, I get that feeling all the time. I live in a place where most moms stay at home and seem to have endless amounts of time to plan playdates, volunteer at school, supply cupcakes for the bake sale and 1,000 other things. Of course, they also manage to have their hair and makeup perfect while doing it. Me, I’m happy to have lunches packed on time and a decent breakfast for the kids. While some moms are making homemade cinnamon rolls and pancakes every morning, we tend to be more cereal eaters in our house because who has the time. I know I probably won’t ever have time to make my kids pancakes on a busy weekday morning but I can make them pumpkin orange crescent rolls that will bake while I struggle with tangles in hair and forgotten paperwork in backpacks.

Spicy Pan Fried Noodles with Shrimp

September 2, 2015 by Shannah Coe 3 Comments

I might be slightly obsessed with take-out noodles. I am totally that person you see in the movies eating them straight out of the little white boxes straight from the refrigerator. I always get our place to add a little extra spice to mine and not a single noodle goes to waste. Of course, I save it for the weekends when I am not trying to eat most Paleo 😉 In our efforts to make more home cooked meals, I started making spicy pan fried noodles at home.

Paleo One Pan Italian Chicken

August 31, 2015 by Shannah Coe 15 Comments

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.
