For most holidays, I find the side dishes seem to be everyone’s favorite (they are definitely mine). You definitely need to include this cranberry apple farro as one of the Thanksgiving vegetable side dishes on your menu. It is packed with flavor and a great change from the usual dishes on the Thanksgiving menu.
You guys…do you know what happens when you are so busy that you can’t think straight? You buy two times the amount of some ingredients thinking you hadn’t already gotten them. I was baking my white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies for our Girl Scout bake sale and bought the dried cranberries twice. So, I decided to create this delicious cranberry apple slaw to go with our dinner that night to use some of them.

Saturday nights are usually all about take out for us. Between my daughter’s gymnastics running right up to dinner time and college football being on, we rarely want to go out and I don’t want to cook anything elaborate.

Ok, we’ve all been there. We are running in 10 different directions, with a to do list that is at least 5 pages long, and solo parenting on top of it. Then, one kid comes home with some major school project (due tomorrow), or it is the weekend of the big gymnastics meet/dance recital/soccer tournament. I’ll admit I am living that right now and so we are having pizza night, and I’m earning my “Running on Fumes” Red Baron® Baroness Patch. I am including a stone fruit salad with our pizza night, but that is just because I can’t go soft and give up on my “fruit and vegetables with all dinners” rule.

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.

I am so excited to share this recipe, featuring Minute® Ready to Serve White & Red Quinoa, with you. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I always try to have a salad for lunch. I say try because, if I am not careful, I fall into a rut of the same old romaine and dressing and find myself ordering a burger from the cafeteria. Right now, that is definitely not an issue though because I am totally in love with this Mexican quinoa power salad.

Lunch is one of those meals that sometimes gets overlooked. For me, it tends to be the the meal that I am most likely to actually be able to eat sitting down versus on the run. I am always looking for great lunch ideas so I wanted to share with you some of my ultimate lunch combinations.

A few years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to broccoli salad. I don’t know how I lived my entire life without every tasting it but I was hooked immediately. I still make it all the time but, now, I also make a Creamy Broccoli Pasta Salad to change things up a bit.
