Thai Green Curry Chicken Burritos

April 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 9 Comments

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. I was struggling with how to spice up our chicken for dinner and saw Campbell’s skillet sauces. I love anything that makes dinner easier but actually adds good flavors to the meal so I grabbed the Thai green curry version and hit the checkout line. Of course, I rarely do anything just as the package says and so their suggestion to serve the meal over a rice totally went out the window in my kitchen.

Gluten Free Loaded Cauliflower Soup

April 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

I’m not a gluten free eater. I am fortunate to be able to have any of my meals with a healthy dish of gluten any time I want. In fact, for the longest time, I turned my nose up at pretty much anything labeled gluten free convinced that it just couldn’t taste good. Then, a friend of mine needed to go gluten free and I found myself exploring the world of gluten free cooking a little more so that I could continue to have her over for dinner without serving broccoli and water. This loaded cauliflower soup is gluten free but you’d never know if I didn’t put it in the title.

Citrus Pork Chops with Apple, Orange and Fennel Salad Recipe

April 15, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

We eat a lot of chicken…like a ridiculous amount of chicken…in our house. I buy chicken breasts in bulk so that I always have them around. This past week, I wanted to break out of our chicken routine. So, on our weekly trip to Costco (yes, weekly), I decided to pick up a package of their pork chops along with my usual fruit, water, chicken and milk. I don’t think a week goes by that something at Costco doesn’t tempt me to go off of my shopping list!

Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs and Sticky Finger Solutions

April 14, 2014 By Shannah Coe 13 Comments

Once the weather turns warm, I pretty much rely on our grill to cook all of our food. There is literally nothing like enjoying a nice evening on the deck with a delicious meal from the BBQ. Of course, a lot of those meals leave super messy hands behind after the stomachs are long full. I like to keep a supplies on hand to make it easy to eat outside and clean up while we are there too. I toss a few necessities into a little metal tub and it becomes our summer dinner “emergency kit.”

Peanut Butter Cookie Eggs

April 8, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

Every Thursday, I treat my daughter to pizza from her favorite place on our way to gymnastics. Wegman’s pizza is a lot like New York style and she just loves it. She also usually asks for some kind of dessert in the form of a donut or cookie. This is how I discovered their peanut butter patties. I grabbed one and threw it on our bag one time to enjoy as my own dessert. Little did I know what I was getting or how delicious it would be! It is an amazing combination of cookie, peanut butter and chocolate. After having that first one, I knew I would have to figure out how to make my own and decided to make peanut butter cookie eggs for Easter.

Brown Rice Salad with Seared Tuna

April 7, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

The weather is finally starting to warm up around here {I know you are glad because I will finally stop complaining} and that means it is salad season. I’m not quite ready to dive into light, lettuce based salads but I have been eating more cool dishes like this brown rice salad with seared tuna.

Sleepover Planning: The Perfect Snack

April 4, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Six years old are funny. They start to get all kinds of personality and have very specific ways they want things done. A few friends are planning a sleepover for one night of our upcoming spring break from school and I am getting “schooled” on good ideas for snacks. Of course there will be the typical snacks of popcorn, cookies and candy. But, I want to make sure there are a few wholesome snacks too that incorporate fruits or vegetables. So, I did a few taste tests with her and we created what she called “the perfect snack.”

Spring Oreo Truffles

It is official. Spring is here! Well, unless you count the 5 inches of snow we got yesterday. Then, it looks like Spring is farther away than ever. To make myself feel better about this ridiculous weather, I decided to dive into pastel colors head first and make spring Oreo truffles!

Copycat Rigatoni D

March 25, 2014 By Shannah Coe 9 Comments

Ok, confession time: I love pasta. Really, who doesn’t?! I mean it is so versatile and can be paired with just about everything for an amazing dish.
One of my favorite pasta dishes is from Maggiano’s {our local Italian place does a version that is really close as well} and it is called Rigatoni D. It is full of mushrooms and chicken and just so delicious. We’re trying to eat out a lot less so I decided to try and create a copycat of the recipe so we can enjoy it anytime we want at home. I think my copycat Rigatoni D comes pretty close to the original so I am excited to have it whenever I want now.

Chicken with Red Wine Sauce

March 20, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

I am a HUGE wine lover so I was thrilled to work with Gallo Vineyards on their campaign for the Hearty Burgundy 50th birthday #HBturns50. This post was compensated but, as always, all opinions are my own.

Date nights around here have become a little rare. Between our busy schedules, Mathlete’s flight lessons {yes, his newest hobby is learning to fly} and our youngest’s new sleeping arrangements, we find it hard to get out for a night alone. So, I started thinking about ways to have a date night at home without totally losing the fun by making the meal a lot of work. When I had the opportunity to work with Gallo Vineyards, I obviously jumped. Date night is just not the same without a great glass of wine {well, no day is really} so it was the perfect way to enjoy the Gallo Vineyards wine. Once I had my Hearty Burgundy in hand, the plans started to come together starting with my recipe for chicken with red wine sauce and roasted mushrooms.
