Peanut Butter Cookie Eggs

April 8, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

Every Thursday, I treat my daughter to pizza from her favorite place on our way to gymnastics. Wegman’s pizza is a lot like New York style and she just loves it. She also usually asks for some kind of dessert in the form of a donut or cookie. This is how I discovered their peanut butter patties. I grabbed one and threw it on our bag one time to enjoy as my own dessert. Little did I know what I was getting or how delicious it would be! It is an amazing combination of cookie, peanut butter and chocolate. After having that first one, I knew I would have to figure out how to make my own and decided to make peanut butter cookie eggs for Easter.

The weather is finally starting to warm up around here {I know you are glad because I will finally stop complaining} and that means it is salad season. I’m not quite ready to dive into light, lettuce based salads but I have been eating more cool dishes like this brown rice salad with seared tuna.

Sleepover Planning: The Perfect Snack

April 4, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Six years old are funny. They start to get all kinds of personality and have very specific ways they want things done. A few friends are planning a sleepover for one night of our upcoming spring break from school and I am getting “schooled” on good ideas for snacks. Of course there will be the typical snacks of popcorn, cookies and candy. But, I want to make sure there are a few wholesome snacks too that incorporate fruits or vegetables. So, I did a few taste tests with her and we created what she called “the perfect snack.”

Shannah’s Test Kitchen: Crockpot Beef Bourguignon

March 31, 2014 By Shannah Coe 8 Comments

Awhile back, I was cruising the internet searching for recipes for my monthly meal swap. I needed something fairly easy to multiply since I was making 5 batches but that was delicious too. I picked a recipe from a very well known blog and bought all of the ingredients to make it. Long story short…it was a flop. There was absolutely no way the recipe would work as written and I spent over an hour trying to figure out a way to make things work. That experience had me wondering if anyone had ever had those problems with one of my MY recipes and it turned out that I wasn’t along. So, I reached out to a few other bloggers to create a fun new series called Shannah’s Test Kitchen.

Spring Oreo Truffles

It is official. Spring is here! Well, unless you count the 5 inches of snow we got yesterday. Then, it looks like Spring is farther away than ever. To make myself feel better about this ridiculous weather, I decided to dive into pastel colors head first and make spring Oreo truffles!

Copycat Rigatoni D

March 25, 2014 By Shannah Coe 9 Comments

Ok, confession time: I love pasta. Really, who doesn’t?! I mean it is so versatile and can be paired with just about everything for an amazing dish.
One of my favorite pasta dishes is from Maggiano’s {our local Italian place does a version that is really close as well} and it is called Rigatoni D. It is full of mushrooms and chicken and just so delicious. We’re trying to eat out a lot less so I decided to try and create a copycat of the recipe so we can enjoy it anytime we want at home. I think my copycat Rigatoni D comes pretty close to the original so I am excited to have it whenever I want now.

Chicken with Red Wine Sauce

March 20, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

I am a HUGE wine lover so I was thrilled to work with Gallo Vineyards on their campaign for the Hearty Burgundy 50th birthday #HBturns50. This post was compensated but, as always, all opinions are my own.

Date nights around here have become a little rare. Between our busy schedules, Mathlete’s flight lessons {yes, his newest hobby is learning to fly} and our youngest’s new sleeping arrangements, we find it hard to get out for a night alone. So, I started thinking about ways to have a date night at home without totally losing the fun by making the meal a lot of work. When I had the opportunity to work with Gallo Vineyards, I obviously jumped. Date night is just not the same without a great glass of wine {well, no day is really} so it was the perfect way to enjoy the Gallo Vineyards wine. Once I had my Hearty Burgundy in hand, the plans started to come together starting with my recipe for chicken with red wine sauce and roasted mushrooms.

Prosciutto and Poppy Seed Chicken

March 19, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

I love ham and cheese sliders. Like really, really love them. I think we ate them at least once per week for the entire month of December. Then, I decided that a) I shouldn’t serve sliders so often and b) all that butter probably wasn’t good for my waistline. So, I decided to try and make a dish that had a lot of the same flavors of the sliders but in a meal that didn’t involve mini rolls and practically a stick of butter. The first time I made prosciutto and poppy seed chicken, even my dad ate and liked it. You guys don’t know my dad but for him to like something new is a pretty big deal. Especially if that something has poppy-anything in the name.

Ham and Vegetable Fried Quinoa {Gluten Free}

March 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

Last week, I shared with you my first intentional gluten free recipe. I say intentional because my friend alerted me to a few recipes on here that are already gluten free. Today, though, I am sharing with you a recipe that is a favorite of mine that also happens to be gluten free: ham and vegetable fried quinoa.
