I love zucchini any way it’s cooked. Growing up, my Grammy made the best fried zucchini. My mouth waters just remembering it. I rarely make it because the frying isn’t all that healthy and it’s also kind of a pain. I decided to take a stab at doing an oven baked, slightly-altered version with some freshContinueContinue reading “Baked Parmesan Crusted Zucchini”

Spicy Zucchini Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs
I’ve been planning to cook zucchini spaghetti for two months and never have actually done it, despite it being on the menu. Tonight I finally did since I had plenty of zucchini in the fridge to be used. I went into this not having a plan but I knew that I had to useContinueContinue reading “Spicy Zucchini Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs”
Grilled Sriracha Honey Chicken
Because I knew Garen Grillmaster was already going to be grilling Cilanro Ranch Chicken for us last night, I went ahead whipped some sauce up for him to cook some Grilled Sriracha Honey Chicken. Garen loves Sriracha…He puts it on an estimated 40% of his food, so when I saw the pin of Sweet Sriracha Chicken from KaceyContinueContinue reading “Grilled Sriracha Honey Chicken”
Cilantro Ranch Chicken
This is another one of my thrown-together “using what I’ve got” recipes. I had a Sam’s club size container of sour cream. Usually, I only use sour cream with chicken in casseroles or crockpot dishes, so I was really going out on limb here deciding to grill it. I even broke one of my cardinalContinueContinue reading “Cilantro Ranch Chicken”

Repurposing Food: Berry Shortcake Parfait
Last night I made strawberry shortcake for dessert. And when I say I made strawberry shortcake, I mean Sam’s Club bakery made fresh pound cakes, which I sliced and served with fresh sliced strawberries, raspberries, and cool whip. Ok, I know it was lazy but it was still tasty and (best of all) easy. I digress. IContinueContinue reading “Repurposing Food: Berry Shortcake Parfait”
Cilantro-Lime Fruit Salad
This salad was supposed to be a mojito fruit salad but Kroger was out of mint. Soooo… I decided to try it with cilantro since I had some from the BBQ Pineapple Ham Sauté that I made. I used fruit that was cut up and left over from my mother-in-law’s fabulous retirement party. Ingredients: AboutContinueContinue reading “Cilantro-Lime Fruit Salad”
Repurposing Food: BBQ Pineapple Ham SautéÂ
Garen’s mom is always great about sending a care package home with us when we visit. This week we got ham. Yum! I looked on Pinterest to try to find recipes of what to do with leftover ham since all of my go-to leftover ham recipes are kind of cold weather food (soups, casseroles,ContinueContinue reading “Repurposing Food: BBQ Pineapple Ham Sauté “
