June 12, 2013 By Shannah Leave a Comment

Happy Wednesday! In our house, Wednesday equals menu plan day. That is how What to Cook Wednesday was born and I look forward to it each and every week. Finding menu plan ideas for myself and, then, sharing them with you is always super fun. Although, I will admit I get a little hungry looking at all this delicious food 🙂

Before we get started, I wanted to let you know {remind you} that you can do a What to Cook Wednesday here! It is a great way to get exposure for you, your blog and {if you want} your recipes! Don’t worry, you can sign up for one even if you don’t write/make food on your own blog!
Interested? Just drop me a line to justusfourpartners {at} gmail {dot} com and I will give you all the deets.

Now, let’s look at some foooooddddd

Sunday: Mathlete loves Greek food. So, it only makes sense to make sure he gets some of it on Father’s Day. This year, I’m thinking Greek style grilled pork chops will be on the menu.

Food for July 4th: Red, White and Blue Firecrackers

June 10, 2013 By Shannah 66 Comments

Food for July 4th parties can be so fun to make! Get the kids involved and make these Red, White and Blue Firecrackers using only marshmallows and candy! These Red, White and Blue chocolate dipped marshmallow pops are so festive and fun to make, everyone will have a blast!

I love entertaining! Holidays for me mean a time to get family and friends together and share a meal. Of course, for most holidays, I like to coordinate the food with the occasion. When thinking about food for July 4th, I wanted something fun that the kids could also help with.

The Ultimate in No Bake Desserts – Ice Cream Pizza

June 5, 2013 By Shannah 26 Comments

Thank you to Kizmos for providing some cook’s tools for use in creating this recipe and as a giveaway prize for my readers. All opinions and thoughts expressed here are my own.

It is H-O-T outside. With the heat comes the desire to avoid cooking anything…especially if it means turning on an oven. BUT, summer also brings a lot of picnics, BBQs and get togethers so I bet you’re often still on the hook for a dessert. How about making the ultimate in no bake desserts: an ice cream pizza?

Quicky Menu Planning {WTCW #103}

June 5, 2013 By Shannah Leave a Comment

What do you get when you combine one {already} busy mom with the last week of school? NO time to do anything extra at all and some quicky menu planning!

Now, a smart mom/blogger would have planned this out weeks ago and written up the post, complete with fancy collages and descriptions, too. BUT, I never claimed to be a smart mamma 😉 So, What to Cook Wednesday is lacking in the pretty collages and commentary this week. I wouldn’t leave you hungry though so read on for some great menu ideas.

Yogurt Marinated Chicken with Almond Basmati

June 3, 2013 By Shannah 13 Comments

Dinner can be hard to get together some nights. I combined #SuccessRice with almonds and served it with Yogurt Marinated Chicken for an easy dinner!

I love to cook. That is probably pretty obvious if you hang out around here. I am always looking for new ideas and recipes to share with my family. One staple most of our family meals have in common: rice.

{A Glimpse} Prepping for Father’s Day

May 31, 2013 By Shannah 1 Comment

I am so excited to be working with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and Country Crock for a series of posts. This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Unilever.

Father’s Day is approaching so quickly! In between now and then, I also have end of school parties for both kids and a lot of work at the regular job. I also found out that I will be having knee surgery in June so Father’s Day may be spent with me on crutches which would seriously limit my ability to do much! So, I’m starting my preparations early and we’re going to have an early Dad’s day celebration for Mathlete!

Last month, I shared this chocolate salted caramel milkshake over at Sugar Bee Crafts! It is so delicious that I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss out either!

I went out to lunch the other day with a co-worker and had the most amazing milkshake. It was a blend of salted caramel and chocolate…delicious! Of course, I wanted to try and create the milkshake at home so I could enjoy it anytime I wanted. And thus, this chocolate salted caramel milkshake was born.
