Salted Pretzel Ice Cream Bites

May 8, 2015 By Shannah Coe 12 Comments

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Safeway, Inc.. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you love ice cream? Who doesn’t, right?! I am a huge ice cream fan and haven’t really met many flavors that I don’t like. Anything with peanut butter in it is a winner for sure. I was trying to decide on a fun ice cream treat to make with my daughter and stumbled upon some Edy’s® Peanut Butter Cup Frozen Custard. Now, I could have eaten it alone but we decided it would be fun to use some salted pretzel snack bars to make salted pretzel ice cream bites.

Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites with Dip

May 7, 2015 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

We love pretzels here so it was a no brainer to work with Simply Homemade® for this pretzel post. As always, while I may have received compensation for this post, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I don’t remember at what age I started really getting interested in cooking and food. I think it was probably late teens or early twenties. It definitely wasn’t seven. Right now, my daughter is always asking to do things in the kitchen and I love it. It gives her and I a chance to spend some time together {since I am always in the kitchen} and also teaches her some important life skills pretty early on. Recently, we got a chance to make pretzels and we made a variety including cinnamon sugar pretzel bites with a yummy dip.

Peanut Butter Nutella Donut Sandwich

So, it is Monday. Are you struggling like I am? We had a gorgeous weekend here in VA and were fortunate to spend most of it outdoors. Weekends like that make going back to the grind of the office even harder. Maybe this peanut butter nutella donut sandwich will ease the pain…

Breakfast Burrito Enchiladas

May 3, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Breakfast is one of those meals that is always super crazy in our house. There is a ton of hustle and bustle and everyone seems to need something at the same time. It can make actually making breakfast and having everyone enjoy it pretty difficult. I turn to recipes that I know I can throw together and let cook while I deal with finding socks, packing backpacks and making sure the fish is fed. One of our favorites is breakfast burrito enchiladas.

Watermelon Goat Cheese Salad

April 29, 2015 By Shannah Coe 22 Comments

Our local farmer’s market opened this past weekend. I was super psyched because it means warmer weather is here for awhile and I can get lots of fresh fruits and vegetables easily. I shared this recipe over on Allyson’s blog during her much deserved maternity break last year. I wanted to share it here too {in case you missed it there} so you could pick up a watermelon on your next shopping trip and enjoy this watermelon goat cheese salad. Of course, watermelon is one of THE summer fruits so you can make this salad all summer long.

Mustard Balsamic Chicken Kabob Recipe

April 28, 2015 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

Get outside to enjoy the nice weather and make this mustard balsamic chicken kabob recipe. These chicken kabobs are perfect for the grill and packed with flavor. You will want to make them over and over.

It is grilling season! Once the weather turns just the slightest bit warm, we break out the grill and it doesn’t get put away until the snow starts to fall. Grilled chicken kabobs are one of our favorite dinners and this mustard balsamic verion wins top billing on our summer menu.

Tropical Guacamole

April 27, 2015 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

I have probably mentioned before that my four year old is totally obsessed with guacamole. If you have met us in person, you know it is quite the spectacle. He will eat guacamole {or more recently just plain avocados} every day if given the change. I love guacamole myself but not quite that much! I’ve been trying to change it up for him from time to time and recently made a tropical guacamole that he absolutely loved!

We’re huge Mexican food fans in our house. Seriously, my kid eats guacamole by the truck load and we have at least one Mexican inspired dish on our menu every week. So, of course, we are super excited about Cinco de Mayo. The only bummer is that it is a Tuesday which means I won’t have time to put together a lot of stuff for our celebration. Thankfully, I know where to get delicious taquitos and tamales. Then, all I have to do is make a few delicious sauces and toppings so my family can make their own taquito platter. One of our favorite sauces is jalapeno kale dip which my kids think is just avocado ranch {and I am not tell them any different since the word kale would instantly get a disgusted face and rejection}.

Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini

April 21, 2015 By Shannah Coe 18 Comments

I love cheese. That doesn’t always marry well with my Paleo lifestyle but I do allow myself to indulge from time to time. One of my favorite cheeses is goat cheese. I love it in salads, pasta and so many other dishes too. I had some gorgeous, fresh strawberries recently and I was torn with what to do with them…besides eat them. I ended up making strawberry goat cheese crostini and it was the perfect Spring lunch.
