Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
I am a total chip addict. If there is a new chip out in the store, you can bet I have to try it. Of course, when we host parties, chips and dip are a mainstay. We have a few friends who have gluten sensitivities and I, honestly, have not found a delicious, gluten free chip at the store. So, instead, I created my own 2 ingredient gluten free chips.

We are all about tacos (especially on Tuesdays, haha) in our house. Of course, having the same old tacos every week can get kind of boring no matter how good they are. So, when we get tired of our regular carnitas tacos, turkey and black bean tacos or even, chicken bacon mango tacos, I make shrimp scampi tacos to change things up a bit.

Football season is officially underway and that means TONS of football watching parties, tailgating and other events. Of course, in addition to the game, everyone is also crazy interested in the food table too. From wings to dips, every good football watching party has yummy food for everyone to enjoy between plays. One winner at our house right now: crab Alfredo lasagna dip.

When you are a working mom of 2 busy kids, relaxing is pretty hard to do. Our version of relaxing tends to come in the form of being able to sit down for more than two minutes and not drinking/eating on the go. With the kids heading back to school, I am looking forward to having a few extra hours a week to enjoy simple things like everything bagel chips, veggie cream cheese, and a tall glass of iced tea.

Over the long weekend, I had a few friends over to help me taste test some upcoming recipes and cocktails. It was loads of fun and I am already mentally planning another one because I loved getting the feedback.
One of the resulting cocktails from our taste tests is this grapefruit prosecco smash and I have to tell you…it is quite possibly my favorite cocktail ever (well, maybe a close second to my wine slushies).

On my current list of favorite things: peaches, corn and grilled chicken. Typically, I wouldn’t have that all together but, with this curried peach corn salsa, I just had to grill up some chicken to put it on top of! The salsa is amazing with chips of course but I love it as a topping to grilled chicken, pork or even fish.

Ok, so I know we are all kind of starting to think about pumpkins and comfort food for the upcoming fall and winter months. Heck, it was even chilly enough yesterday during the rain that I wore a sweatshirt. But, there are still summer days left to enjoy and, with them, a melon arugula salad to eat.

Mathlete’s birthday always falls very close to Labor Day. So, to celebrate a day off from work and his birthday, we usually throw a fun Labor Day barbecue with friends and family. It is the perfect way to close out the summer and get in one last day party before the fall weather starts to set in. Of course, no party is complete without delicious food, especially yummy dips, to enjoy while the main meal cooks. For this year’s party, I am super excited to make tempura cauliflower to go alongside the Heluva Good! Bacon Horseradish dip we are currently drooling over.

So, we started school here yesterday. Based on my Facebook and Instagram feeds, we are not alone in going back to school in the last week or so. Of course, with back to school comes homework, more activities and just an overall much busier schedule. I find, especially during the first few weeks where we struggle to get out of the summer laid back mindset and into a routine, dinner rarely makes it to the table. This year, I am determined to change that though and this list of the most delicious one pan meals (EVER) is my secret weapon.

Last year, when we visited California wine country, I fell in love with a chicken salad we found at a local market. I always refer to it as the “wine country chicken salad” whenever I bring it up to Mathlete. While I haven’t found it in any markets close to home, I have started making from scratch at home trying to recreate that vacation. Plus, the chicken salad is perfect for parties and picnics because it is so easy to pack and take along.
