Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Pizza night is probably my entire family’s favorite night of the week. They love putting together their own creations and I love seeing what their favorite toppings are for the week. Recently, we put together what might be the best combination ever: a chicken bruschetta pizza.
We are all about chips and dip in this house. My son is a huge guacamole fan and eats it all the time. We also love creamy dips. Right now, though, our favorite is this grapefruit avocado salsa that uses the best of spring produce to give it tons of flavor.

Being able to make a quick salad at the beginning of the week and last for days is a huge time saver! This easy cucumber salad is perfect for your weekly meal planning or event because it is so easy to make and can be tossed together a few days in advance. The flavor just gets better with time! This easy cucumber salad is destined to be your new favorite salad!
Cheesecake bars are one of those desserts that are impossible to resist. This combination of delicious carrot cake and flavors of a classic cheesecake recipe create a dessert that is perfect for any holiday or when your sweet tooth has a craving.

I love to cook but, with our crazy schedule, I often need to fit dinner preparation into a super short period of time if my family has any hope of actually eating dinner! A stir fry is such an quick and easy way to make a meal that is full of flavor and includes vegetables too! This ginger soy chicken stir fry, which includes spring’s perfect vegetable, is a current favorite in our house and we make it several times a month!
Now that spring is officially here, we are all about delicious spring vegetables like artichokes and asparagus. While Mathlete isn’t as big of a fan, I can’t get enough asparagus! I just love it. To make him a little happier about eating it so often, I make him prosciutto wrapped asparagus.

During the week, our schedule is absolutely insane. So, I need recipes that are easy and fast to make sure my family still gets a home cooked meal versus delivery from some local restaurant. We are big chicken marsala fans but I rarely have the time to create one of our classic Italian favorites at home. Right now, one pan meals, like this one pan pork marsala, are my savior.

Growing up, Easter was one of the holidays where we always got together for lunch as a family after church. Usually, we went to my grandma’s house and she cooked a ridiculous amount of food. There was always a ham and then what seemed like an endless amount of side dishes and desserts. Now, as an adult, I typically host Easter at our house and love looking for Easter recipes to serve. I don’t cook nearly as much food as my grandma did but I have a few favorite Easter recipes that I always include.

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring! I really wish it actually felt more like spring here but, after a February filled with 70 degree days, I guess I can’t complain too much that we have snow on the ground in March. I made these spring pastel vanilla donuts to celebrate the first of spring.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow, today’s Throwback Thursday post is all about Reuben sliders. I first made these sliders for Mathlete a few years ago since I know he really loves a Reuben sandwich.
