Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
It is almost Memorial Day week {the countdown is on} which means all around the country people will be bringing out their grills and starting to BBQ. When you bring out the grill for the first time of the season, you definitely want to make sure you have the perfect thing to grill. I’m sharing 10 perfect burger recipes to try this weekend.

One of my daily goals is to eat more green vegetables. With the farmer’s market filled with spring vegetables each weekend, this is pretty easy to do. I am always grabbing fresh asparagus, kale and spinach when we go on Saturday mornings. Salads are my go to lunches because they are quick, delicious and easy to take to the office with me. My current favorite is a bacon spinach salad.

Mathlete’s absolute favorite dish from an Italian restaurant is chicken Parmesan. When we were dating, he would offer to make it for me which has become a bit of joke between us since his version is MUCH different than what you get from a restaurant. I’ll just say that it involves a microwave and frozen chicken patties.
With our busy schedule, I rarely have time to make the actual dish so I use it as inspiration for other recipes that I know I can make quickly like my chicken Parmesan muffins or chicken Parmesan burger. Recently, our newest favorite are chicken Parmesan zucchini boats.

We eat a lot of chicken and so I hear from Mathlete “chicken, again?” a lot too. I definitely have to try and make it interesting so that he doesn’t get too tired of my favorite protein. Well, to be honest, my favorite protein is probably bacon but we’ll pretend it is chicken since that is a little healthier. I recently made orange chicken with a white bean saute and it was a huge hit!

With summer coming quickly, I am dreading the hot days where you don’t want to turn the oven or stove on no matter how hungry you may be. I turn to salads and as many no cook recipes that I can once the temperature starts to rise. Of course, I still want sweets so I’ve gathered some of the best no bake desserts that are perfect for the hot summer days.

I spend a lot of time on the go. With my daughter in gymnastics for 9 hours a week, plus an hour of dance and then all my commuting to the office, I am gone a lot. I have a HUGE sweet tooth so I like to have sweet snacks on the go to satisfy my sweet tooth. I know finding great snacks that are also perfectly sweet can be a difficult task so I am sharing some perfect sweet snacks for on the go.

I am excited to partner with Acorn and Cafe Breaks to share this delicious recipe with you. While this post was sponsored, the thoughts and opinions are my own. #LoveCafeBreaks
I spend most of my evenings on the go. Dinners are eaten in the car between errands or sitting at the gymnastics gym watching my daughter practice. Even though I have a busy schedule and lots to do to take care of my family, I still try to take five minutes for myself to indulge in a little something sweet or relax. A strawberry mocha trifle is a delicious sweet treat that even gets me fresh fruit too.

Back when I did Whole30, I started eating a version of avocado toast almost every day for breakfast. Bacon replaced the bread and I was in heaven. After Whole30, I would have bread on some days or my regular paleo version on others. Then came the day that my grocery store was completely sold out of ripe avocados and I had to find something else to eat. I was still craving toast and so I decided to make carrot hummus toast to change things up a bit.

Happy Monday! I am recovering from a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend that included a trip to local winery, a visit to my husband’s parents and the best nap ever! We topped off the weekend with some Indian food including butter chicken and vegetable pakora. I’m back on track today with a paleo taco bowl on my lunch menu.
