Saving the Family Dinner

March 22, 2016 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Terra’s Kitchen. The opinions and text are all mine.

About two weeks ago, my daughter and I both had the flu. We were those that thought we didn’t need a flu shot back in the late fall but boy were we wrong. A week of recovery and she is all better. Me…I have pneumonia. For those of you with busy households, you know that when mom goes down, most of the daily happenings in the house really start to suffer. Most notably in our house is family dinner. Mathlete isn’t much of a cook and I usually take on making sure dinner is ready through meal planning and doing all the shopping. When my doctor prescribed 5 medications (yep, 5!) and most of which carry warnings of “causes extreme drowsiness” or “may cause dizziness”, we knew we needed a plan to save our family dinner.

Weeknight Meals: Lemon Paprika Chicken

March 16, 2016 By Shannah Coe 10 Comments

Weeknight meals can sometimes be the most difficult to come up with. We tend to make the same things over and over again and then get bored with them. To keep from hearing “spaghetti, again?” too often, I try to change things up while still keeping our weeknight meals easy to make. One of my newest favorites is lemon paprika chicken.

Gluten Free No Bake Granola Bars

March 14, 2016 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

This post was sponsored by Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

Do you love snack bars? We’re huge fans and like to have a variety of different types around the house. Recently, though, I started making my own because it allowed me to control the ingredients that went into them and really customize them to what my family likes. These gluten free no bake granola bars are my most recent attempt and they are my favorite ones to date.

Taco Ranch Popcorn for Pizza Night

March 9, 2016 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

For years, we’ve done movie nights on Fridays. It is the best way to end the week. Of course, there are three Ps that are necessary for a successful movie night: plot, pizza and popcorn (dark chocolate sea salt is a sweet favorite). For our most recent movie night, I created taco ranch popcorn for the perfect hit of spice and a little change from our usual movie theater butter version.

I had a flashback the other day to my days after school coming home to have a snack. Little bagel pizzas were my absolute favorite. We’ve bought them from time to time but H has way more fun creating her own freezer friendly pizza bagels.

How to Freeze Cauliflower Rice

March 7, 2016 By Shannah Coe 17 Comments

Between doing Whole30 and trying to eat Paleo the rest of the time, we eat a lot of cauliflower rice on our house. I like to do most of our meal prep on Sundays to make getting dinner done much easier during our busy weeknights but cauliflower rice was one of those that I just never could do ahead of time. Cauliflower just plain stinks once you cut it. I saw all over Facebook how Trader Joes had frozen cauliflower rice but none of our local stores EVER seem to have it. So, I decided I would figure out how to freeze cauliflower rice at home so I could still do my meal prep on Sundays but not have my house stink all week.

Slow Cooker Pork Ragu with Gnocchi

March 2, 2016 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

Slow Cooker Pork Ragu is the perfect week night meal! Serve it over gnocchi and you have the perfect comfort food fit for a Monday night or a dinner party!

I am always in search of easy recipes that taste great and go from a weeknight to a dinner party with little to no changes. Recently, we visited a local restaurant owned by former Top Chef contestant, Mike Isabella, where we had the best pork ragu. {If you remember that season, I can attest to the pepperoni sauce being as AH-MAZING as the judges made it seem on the show.}

One Pot Irish Stew

I was looking through my calendar the other day {scheduling Girl Scout cookie booths} and couldn’t believe how close we are to March! Of course, with March, comes St. Patrick’s Day and all the green beer, Guinness {cupcakes} and Irish food your heart could desire. One of our favorite meals to enjoy for St. Patrick’s Day is one pot Irish stew.
