Turkey, Apple and Brie Bites

October 9, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

I am always excited to partner with quality food brands like Hillshire Farm. As always, even though this post was compensated, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I don’t think I’ve talked much about some of my recent changes in eating. I’ve cut out a lot bread and pasta items that I used to eat all the time. I still enjoy them from time to time but they don’t dominate my meals as much. Instead, I like to combine protein with fruits and vegetables whenever possible. It seems like I am always short on time so being able to have a few items on hand that I can grab on go is key. One of my newest favorite grab and go items are these turkey, apple and brie bites.

Thai Butternut Squash Soup

Enjoy fall at its best with this Thai Butternut Squash Soup recipe, its pure comfort food and the perfect blend of creaminess, spice and sweetness!

Once October hits, I am a huge soup fan. I eat soup at least a few times a week between lunches and dinners. While I love broth based soups like vegetable quinoa soup and spicy sausage and tortellini soup, my absolute favorite to this day remains Thai Butternut Squash Soup.

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!

TWIX Parfait

October 6, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

A few months ago, I discovered TWIX bites when I made my three ingredient TWIX dip. They are absolutely amazing and we keep a bag of them around the house all the time. I was dreaming up more ways to use them the other day and came up with this delicious TWIX parfait. It is so easy to make and perfect for whipping up as a dessert for a party or dinner. If you don’t have little parfait glasses, you can easily just toss it all in one big bowl for serving.

Candy Corn M&M Halloween “Trash”

September 30, 2014 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

Sometimes, the simplest recipes are the best. I love creating recipes that are easy to make but taste delicious. This is especially true when Halloween or Christmas comes around and I want to be able to give treats to neighbors and visitors. One of our favorite things to make any time of year is white “trash.” I decided to change it up a little bit and make candy corn M&M Halloween “trash” after seeing the candy corn flavored M&Ms at the store.

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.

One Pot Chicken Enchilada Pasta

September 16, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

I think every family has a go to food that they make over and over because everyone loves it. In our household, that is pasta! While I may prefer something like a butternut squash and sage pasta and Mathlete likes the sausauge and pepper version, we can all agree that pasta is what we want for dinner. Plus, pasta cooks fast making weeknight meals way easier to actually get on the table on time. How about we make it EVEN easier though by making a one pot chicken enchilada pasta?

BBQ Ranch Chicken Pull Apart Bread

September 15, 2014 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

Do you have a case of the missing husband like I do now that football season is here? Mathlete is more of a college football fan than a NFL fan so our major sports day is typically Saturday. BUT, he likes hanging with the guys so there is plenty of football on the tv each Sunday too. Of course, with football, you need snacks that are delicious AND easy to eat. My pepperoni pizza pull apart bread was a huge hit so I decided to try and change it up and made a bbq ranch chicken pull apart bread.
