Paleo Chicken Salad

May 18, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Guess what day it is?! It is Paleo Monday. I am so excited to share with you one of my absolute favorite new recipes this week. I’ve been searching for a way to replace the chicken salad that I loved for lunch each and every day before going Paleo {er-ish}. Well, I think I finally done it. This paleo chicken salad is to die for and is so perfect for Spring and Summer lunches.

Watermelon Goat Cheese Salad

April 29, 2015 By Shannah Coe 21 Comments

Our local farmer’s market opened this past weekend. I was super psyched because it means warmer weather is here for awhile and I can get lots of fresh fruits and vegetables easily. I shared this recipe over on Allyson’s blog during her much deserved maternity break last year. I wanted to share it here too {in case you missed it there} so you could pick up a watermelon on your next shopping trip and enjoy this watermelon goat cheese salad. Of course, watermelon is one of THE summer fruits so you can make this salad all summer long.

Watermelon is the best summer fruit. Enjoy it in a delicious watermelon goat cheese salad for an amazing and light snack or lunch.

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.

Shanghai Meatball Stir Fry

January 15, 2015 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

Every year, I vow to plan out my meals and chop my veggies on Sunday so I am ready for the week. Some weeks that actually happens. Other weeks…not so much. I love making Shanghai meatball stir fry but don’t always have the time to prep all the ingredients from scratch. Thankfully, I discovered Eat Smart Salad and Stir Fry kits which come in handy for days like that.

Peppermint Mocha Donut Recipe

December 11, 2014 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

I slaved over my donut pan to bring you the best Peppermint Mocha Donut Recipe ever. These are the perfect combination of chocolate, coffee and peppermint!

When Mathlete and I were dating, I was totally addicted to Peppermint Mochas from Starbucks. Almost every date we went on either started or ended with a trip to Starbucks for my beloved drink!

Peppermint Mocha donuts are the perfect addition to Christmas morning breakfast!

Italian Meatball Soup

December 5, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

For years, we have always gotten together and decorated our Christmas tree with friends and family. I love sharing one of my favorite Christmas activities with those that I love. Of course, with out busy schedules, we often end up decorating the tree during dinnertime which means hungry stomachs come along with the Christmas cheer. I like to have something that is easier to make but also filling for everyone to enjoy in between hanging ornaments. One of my favorites is Italian Meatball Soup.

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!

Caramel Apple Pie Shooters

November 24, 2014 By Shannah Coe 13 Comments

SoFab Disclosure

Have you ever been relaxing on your couch or in bed and get a call that “surprise” you are going to have a visitor for dinner? Or maybe your in-laws decide to drop in for a little visit? This time of year those unexpected visits come a lot more frequently than they do any other. While I always love a chance to visit with friends and family, it can be a little stressful to throw something together on short notice when my to do list is already full of other “get ready for the holidays” tasks. So, I turn to a few go to ingredients that I keep on hand at all times to be able to make something quick but delicious, like caramel apple pie shooters, for everyone to enjoy…even on short notice. They are #ThankfullySweet and perfect for those unexpected visitors or even if you have plenty of time to plan but want to take a few shortcuts. #CollectiveBias

20 Minute Mummy Pizza

October 23, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

My family loves pizza. So, I am excited to partner with Fleischmann’s Pizza Crust Yeast to bring you this quick, family friendly recipe. As always, while I may have been compensated for this post, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

We used to have bi-weekly pizza nights where we would get together and make homemade pizza with toppings of our choice. Even then, I was always nervous about making the crust so I would buy dough from the store. Of course, that dough requires time to rise and so I always had to make sure I planned ahead. We stay pretty busy right now so that planning ahead part isn’t usually in the cards and we end up with pre-made pizza crust instead. This 20 minutes mummy pizza changed that for good!

Super cute homemade mummy pizza in 20 minutes!

October 15, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

You all know I love pumpkin! Well, today, Shauna is going to share with you an amazing recipe for pumpkin pudding sugar cookie cups. It is simple and so easy which is definitely want you want during the busy holiday season.

******************************************************************

Get out the pumpkin because  it is time to make the most amazing pumpkin cups for dessert.

Hi, my name is Shauna and I blog over at The Best Blog Recipes.  I am so excited to share one of our recipes today with Shannah  and all of you here on Just Us Four! It’s that time of year when my kitchen is very busy getting ready for holiday parties and big family get togethers. It can be hard sometimes when you want to take a dessert but don’t know what everyone will like.  I know a lot of our family isn’t a huge fan of pumpkin so that’s why I make something that’s easy and just has a light pumpkin flavor so that it isn’t overwhelming to those who don’t really like it all that much.
