Creamy Sage Chicken
Contains affiliate links I absolutely love fresh herbs. I am constantly looking for ways to incorporate fresh herbs into recipes. I’m so obsessed with fresh herbs that I’m currently trying to convince Matthew to buy me an indoor hydroponic herb garden machine thingy. I’ve always had a dream of having a full, vibrant garden with a decent portion of it full of herbs. The best thing about fresh herbs is they add major flavor and dimension to food without adding extra fat, sugar, carbohydrates, or anything else not necessarily good for our bodies. Sage is an herb that pairs well with summer time foods, particularly chicken, pork, and salmon. Most…

Mexican Haystacks
If you have ever consumed Hawaiian Haystacks, then you have definitely either lived/visited Utah, or have a friendship with someone who has ties to Utah. Hawaiian Haystacks, are indeed not Hawaiian. They are called such because typical toppings include pineapple and coconut. I have a child who is OBSESSED with Hawaiian Haystacks. Honestly though, I have never been fond of them. The flavors are either bland or too sweet to my taste buds. So, Mexican Haystacks were born. Ask anyone who has known me a long while, and they will tell you that I would eat chips and guacamole or queso over just about any other snack. I absolutely adore…

Summer Fettuccine Alfredo
Fettuccine Alfredo is definitely a family favorite. It is also a very easy recipe to change up. Adding in season vegetables can completely change the flavor and cause your children to think you are a genius in the kitchen. In the summer, I like to add in fresh vegetables such as bell peppers and corn. Fresh baby spinach is equally tasty. Fettuccine Alfredo is also a recipe that is hearty enough to hold up against adding a protein; while at the same time flavorful enough to not need a protein. In the summer, if I add a protein, it is usually chicken. I’ve added grilled steak slices over top as…

Breakfast Hash & Fried Eggs
Breakfast for dinner is a staple in this household. We have breakfast for dinner at least once or twice a week. Half of the family loves sweet and doughy breakfasts like waffles and pancakes, while the other half goes for savory meals. I’m smack dab in the middle. Sometimes I am feeling Belgium waffles and other times I want a really flavorful breakfast hash. Breakfast hash is actually super quick and easy to make. It is something I live off of whenever Matthew is gone with work. I’ll eat breakfast hash for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Plus you can make a Mexican spin on it (which is my favorite) or…

Instapot Cajun Sausage and Cheesy Rice
After living in Mississippi a decade and a half ago, all things Cajun quickly crept into my flavor palate. Just like most of the other recipes I have in my top favorites, anything Cajun is PACKED full of flavor with each bite. Jambalaya is definitely my favorite Cajun meal, but when your family isn’t a huge fan of seafood or spice…a girl creates another Cajun flavored meal. Plus who can turn down any super cheesy meal? If you use brown Jasmin rice, be sure to adjust the cooking time. Brown rice tends to take longer to cook. Another tasty substitute would be quinoa or couscous. Hope y’all are having an…
