So, we’ve started adding getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas to our busy routine. It isn’t like I had a whole lot of spare time anyways so now we have even less time to get everything done. Of course, with the expenses of the holidays, I am working harder than ever to keep our eating out under control. It is times like these that recipes like this one for mushroom and red wine beef become so important!

Chicken and Vegetable Coconut Curry

October 29, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Quick weeknight meals are a must in our house so I am so excited to partner with Imagine® Organic Culinary Simmer Sauces for this post to show you how a great meal can be made in under 15 minutes. As always, while I may have been compensated for this post, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

Weeknights are crazy in our household. I try to skip take out and limit eating out to once per week so having easy to make dishes that come together quickly are a must. On top of that, they actually need to taste good too so my family will eat them. That can be a tall order unless we want to eat spaghetti every night! This chicken and vegetable coconut curry is perfect for the times when I need something on the table fast that also tastes great.

20 Minute Mummy Pizza

October 23, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

My family loves pizza. So, I am excited to partner with Fleischmann’s Pizza Crust Yeast to bring you this quick, family friendly recipe. As always, while I may have been compensated for this post, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

We used to have bi-weekly pizza nights where we would get together and make homemade pizza with toppings of our choice. Even then, I was always nervous about making the crust so I would buy dough from the store. Of course, that dough requires time to rise and so I always had to make sure I planned ahead. We stay pretty busy right now so that planning ahead part isn’t usually in the cards and we end up with pre-made pizza crust instead. This 20 minutes mummy pizza changed that for good!

Creamy Baked Avocado Pasta

October 21, 2014 By Shannah Coe 13 Comments

I am so excited to be partnering with Hass Avocado to share with you my new found love of avocados and all the health benefits they offer. As always, even though this post was compensated, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

As a kid, I ran away from anything that had avocado in it. It was one of those ridiculous situations where I had never really tried an avocado but was convinced I didn’t like it. Thankfully, as an adult, I became a little wiser and fell in love with avocados. I eat them on toast, in salads and, of course, in guacamole. I have also started cooking with avocados more and it all started with this creamy baked avocado pasta.

Margarita Chicken Rice Bowl

October 8, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

I am so excited to continue my work with Success® Rice by sharing this recipe with you that has become a family favorite of ours. As always, while I was compensated for this post, all opinions and thoughts are my own.

We are big Tex-Mex and Mexican food fans. From burritos to quesadillas, we love the flavors of lime, cilantro combined with a hint of spice. One of my favorite things to get when we go places like Chipotle is a rice bowl. I was at home one evening and really craving one so I decided to make my own version. This margarita chicken rice bowl is so easy to make and ridiculously delicious too. You may never go to Chipotle again because you’ve got something even better that you make at home!

Pork and Mushroom Stroganoff

September 26, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

I am excited to be sharing a delicious recipe using Smithfield Marinated Pork. While I was compensated for this post through Sverve, as always, all opinions, recipes and ideas are my own.

A long day at the office can leave me feeling like the last thing I want to do is think about dinner. On those days, I need something that I can throw together fast and that still tastes really good. After all, if I am going to cook, I want something that is still delicious or I’ll be regretting not ordering take out. That is when I turn to items like marinated meats and other convenient foods. Recently, I used the Smithfield marinated pork loin to create a pork and mushroom stroganoff that was absolutely amazing.

Macaroni and BBQ Chicken Pizza – Budget Friendly Meals

September 24, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

So, I am going to give you a second to digest the title of this post. I’m sure, at first, it seems a little odd. Well, this Macaroni and BBQ Chicken pizza came about on a day when I wanted to use food we already so I a) didn’t have to make a trip to the store and b) didn’t have to spend any additional money on food since I had already spent our food budget for the week/month {I know the 1st and 15th can be particularly sticky times of the month for most people’s budgets}. I called out to the fam and asked “what do you want for dinner?” The response was: BBQ chicken, pizza and macaroni and cheese. So, I decided to put them all together and this crazy but so delicious pizza was made. Using what I had and focusing on low cost ingredients made this truly one of my budget recipes.

Garlic and Herb Pork Kabobs

September 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 11 Comments

We are coming down to the last days of the regular grilling season and I am trying to squeeze in every chance to grill that I can. Of couse, my available cooking time is almost nonexistent right now so I need things that can cook fast and don’t require a lot of marinade time or prep work. That is one of the reasons I love the Smithfield marinated pork products…they do all the work for you. I recently picked up one of the garlic and herb tenderloins and brought it home to grill for dinner.

Slow Cooker Cuban Beef

September 9, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

Grab your Crockpot and get ready to make the MOST amazing recipe ever. This Slow Cooker Cuban Beef is so delicious, easy to make and full of flavor!

I have such a love affair with my Crockpot. Once the weather starts to cool a little bit and I move away from grilling everything from burgers to fruit, I start using my slow cooker more and more. Mathlete isn’t always a huge fan of chicken cooked in the crockpot so I tend to stick to beef more often.

Sloppy Joe Casserole

August 14, 2014 By Shannah Coe 16 Comments

I am always looking for new products to use when my gluten free or vegetarian friends and family visit for meals. I am excited to share my newest find, that I used in our favorite recipe for sloppy joe casserole, with you today. Even though I was compensated for this post, all thoughts and opinions expressed here are 100% my own.

With fall and back to school fast approaching, I am starting to build a great list of go to recipes that easy to make and taste great too. My sister in law was visit recently and she is vegetarian. I thought she might be joining us for dinner one night so I did a little research on what I could make that my family of meat eaters would love and she could enjoy too. That was when I was introduced to #BeyondMeat. BeyondMeat is a meat substitute that takes all of the familiar things in meat {amino acids, fats, trace carbohydrates, minerals and lots of water} from plants and applies heating, cooling and pressure so that the result is just like meat. I used the BeyondMeat to make a delicious sloppy joe casserole and everyone LOVED it.
