Chicken Avocado Quinoa Salad

May 18, 2018 By Shannah 24 Comments

An easy salad, like chicken avocado quinoa salad, that can be made ahead and enjoyed all week long is perfect for meal prep or just to get ready for a summer party! 

During the summer, I totally crave cool salads but get bored with lettuce based salads pretty quickly. Chicken avocado quinoa salad is the perfect salad that fits as a light main course or a fun side dish at your summer BBQ or picnic.

Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini

April 21, 2015 By Shannah Coe 18 Comments

I love cheese. That doesn’t always marry well with my Paleo lifestyle but I do allow myself to indulge from time to time. One of my favorite cheeses is goat cheese. I love it in salads, pasta and so many other dishes too. I had some gorgeous, fresh strawberries recently and I was torn with what to do with them…besides eat them. I ended up making strawberry goat cheese crostini and it was the perfect Spring lunch.

Pad Thai French Fries

January 6, 2015 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

It is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Thai food. From Thai Butternut Squash soup to a host of other things, we eat Thai inspired dishes a lot in our house. Mathlete spends a lot of time begging me to make/eat something other than Thai inspired dishes. So, when I was dreaming up recipes to serve at our upcoming party for the BIG GAME, I knew I wanted to bring a Thai influence into at least one of the game time food options. Our party will be filled with mostly men so I knew French fries would be a hit and decided to make Pad Thai French fries.

Delicious Pad Thai French fries are the perfect thing to serve at your the party for the BIG Game this year!

Maple Roasted Butternut Squash

November 25, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

So, I love fall. It is my hands down favorite season {since Christmas isn’t technically a season I can totally say that}! The crisp days, the crunch of leaves under your feet and all the delicious flavors like cinnamon, maple and squash. Our weather has finally stopped its seesaw pattern of warm and cool and so now I am ready to really jump in with the fall recipes on our menu plan. One of the first recipes I made for this fall has become one of my favorites. I seem to make this maple roasted butternut squash over and over but never tire of it. 

If you want fall on a plate, you want this maple roasted butternut squash recipe!

Mini Stuffing Muffins

November 9, 2014 By Shannah Coe 18 Comments

Holy almost mid-November already. Where is time going? Have you started thinking about Thanksgiving yet? We like to try and get together for a little pre-Thanksgiving with our friends {a Friendsgiving if you will} so I am definitely heavily focused on Thanksgiving recipes right now. Our meals with friends tend to be the kind where you can grab a few things and eat them on the move between one group of friends to another or while trying to keep all the kids at the table and eating. These mini stuffing muffins are the perfect option for that kind of meal because they are one bite and require no utensils!

This is the greatest idea to make Thanksgiving parties so easy! Make mini stuffing muffins so they are one bite and don't require any utensils.

21 Recipes with Basil

July 23, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

I have the world’s worst black thumb. Until recently, the only plant I have been able to keep alive is a Christmas cactus that I was given as a gift when my grandfather died years ago.  That changed recently when I purchased a hydroponic basil plant because they were out of regular basil. On a whim, I decided to plant it and it has been flourishing ever since. The more it grows, the more I realize that I need to find ways to use it and I collected 21 recipes with basil. 

These are the perfect way to use all the extra basil in your house.

21 Great Recipes for the Grill

June 16, 2014 By Shannah Coe 8 Comments

Starting in about mid-May, there is one thing you know you will find on our weekly menu: recipes for the grill. I love getting outside to cook and the taste of grilled food just can’t be beat.  Of course, it helps keep the house cool and we end up with a lot less clean up too which is a big plus.  To keep me inspired and give you a little inspiration to get out and grill, I rounded up 21 great recipes for the grill.

We love cooking on the grill and these 21 recipes are the perfect inspiration for this week's menu!
