Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Tater tot casserole is a total family favorite in our house. Easy to put together and full of flavor, you just can’t find a better recipe for feeding the family on a busy night.

Every party needs a few yummy appetizers. From crescent roll recipes to finger foods, you can never go wrong with a plate of spicy sausage pinwheels when planning your party or game day menu.

Every party needs an delicious one bite appetizer that the host can easily make in advance but also stands the test of the hours long it sits during a party. Prosciutto cups with pear and goat cheese are perfect for parties because much of the prep can be done 1-2 days ahead.
While they can survive a few hours on the party table, you won’t need to worry about that because they will totally disappear once people try them.

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.

I’ve recently cut out all refined sugar from my diet. Once I set my mind to it (and saw the lbs start to drop off!) it was easier than I had initially thought. But, it’s summer, and I would still like to enjoy an ice cream every so often.
I’ve seen this recipe for 1 ingredient banana ice cream on Pinterest for a while now and have been dying to give it a try. I wasn’t sure that it would really taste like ice cream but BOY was I wrong! It’s also a great way to use up those over-ripe bananas…there’s only so much banana bread you can eat!
This couldn’t be easier to make: You want to use 4 or 5 over-ripe bananas (the browner they are, the sweeter the ice cream will be!).
Peel them and slice. Place the slices on a plate and freeze overnight. Then, all you have to do is blend them up in food processor/blender until thick and creamy!
Now, in the spirit of being sharing, I’m going to let you know that I froze my bananas whole with the skins still ON. Don’t do this, they are impossible to peel once they are frozen!! You could peel first, then freeze but I reckon slicing them up first would make the process a whole lot easier.
If you want to serve it right out of the blender, expect a “soft-serve” consistency. To make it a bit more solid, pop in a freezer-proof container and chill for at least 2 hours.
Who knew that pureed frozen bananas were so thick and creamy!? Honestly, if you love ice cream and bananas then you will adore this. It’s Paleo friendly, dairy free, (added) sugar free and a great guilt-free treat for both kids and adults alike. Feeling adventurous? Once you’ve mastered this version, don’t be afraid to experiment! I’m going to add almond butter to my next batch 🙂
One pot meals are my favorite. They really make it easy to get dinner done without a lot of dishes to clean up in the aftermath. On a lot of weeknights, I end up being the one to get the dishes in the dishwasher so I appreciate any little bit of help I can get. My favorite dish right now is paleo one pot chicken and kale.

I am excited to work with Sara Lee® Bread to bring you this recipe and fun idea for school lunches. While this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
In just a few short weeks we will be headed back to school. It means lots of activities, homework and of course, back to packing lunches each day. I do my best to change up what the kids get in their lunches so they actually want to eat them. One of my newest sandwiches for lunches is a spinach artichoke turkey sandwich.

Happy Paleo Monday! Did you survive the weekend? As I mentioned in Friday’s party post, we held birthday parties for both of my kids over the weekend so I am exhausted. It is days like that make me so glad that I meal plan. Oh, and makes me thankful for recipes like paleo pork pineapple stir fry.
…
Ok, you guys…I am about to give you the easiest and most delicious weeknight meal you can make. A bonus: it is paleo too {if you care about that kind of thing}! Seriously, I make this on Sundays and then I grab a little for breakfast with a poached egg or Mathlete will have it for dinner with rice {yes, we still keep rice in our mostly paleo kitchen} when I am gone. I can’t tell you much we love our paleo sausage and vegetables!

I am excited to partner with DairyPure milk to bring you this new recipe. While this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
We love mac & cheese in our house. I don’t get to make it from scratch as often as I like but I try to make a big batch and then freeze it for later use at least once per month. Since we eat it a lot, I like to try and change it up from time to time and go beyond a basic macaroni and cheese. Recently, I wanted to make some that was geared a little more to the adults in our house and created spicy Italian macaroni and cheese.
