Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Warm summer nights usually mean I hang out in front of the grill cooking up kabobs or some other delicious grilled meal. Sometimes though, I am either just too hot or too tired to get out there and grill. Those are the nights that I pull out my recipe for teriyaki chicken quinoa bake and make a dinner that requires a little less active cooking than my typical grilled recipes.

Buffalo chicken gets a ton of rotation in our house. I love all of the flavors and of course chicken is always a big hit. But, I was searching for something different the other night and decided to change it up and make buffalo shrimp tacos in place of our regular chicken version.

Let’s talk about all the things I can throw into a tortilla, shall we? This week is Thai green curry chicken. Yep, you read that right: Thai…Burritos. This whole crazy burrito thing start when I stopped in at Giant the other day to pick up rolls only they carry.

Remember my goal to eat at home six out of the seven days of the week? Well, we are rocking it! One reason we are doing so well is thanks to some super easy meals that I can prepare and freeze or use shortcut ingredients to throw together fast. This easy chicken and rice casserole, using Tyson Grilled and Ready chicken breasts, is one of those dishes that I know I can always get to the table even when I am short on time.

I love pasta. Who doesn’t right? It can be used in anything from a side dish or become a star in a main course. I tend to skip the more traditional pasta in red sauce dishes though and look for ones that get most of their flavor from simple ingredients. When I made orecchiette pasta with sausage and Parmesan, the freshness of the ingredients were where the dish got almost all of the flavor. Yummy!

When it comes to cooking portobello mushrooms don’t be intimidated, it’s easier than you think!

With school back in session and all that comes with it {homework, after school activities, PTA, etc.}, dinner can fall pretty far down the list of priorities. That typically means more take out and/or more trips to fast food restaurants. BUT, it doesn’t have to be that way!
