Spiralized Cucumber Greek Salad
My Spiralizer gets a lot of use making pastas and noodles for hot dishes. It’s a great way to replace pasta to create healthier meals. However, raw spiralized dishes can be just as good. This Greek salad is made with cucumber noodles and topped with tomatoes, red onion, olives, bell peppers, and crumbly feta cheese, then tossed in a light vinaigrette. Each bite […]
Tomato and Feta Stuffed Chicken
Stuffed chicken recipes are the best. The stuffing helps keep the chicken nice and moist while adding tons of flavor. After making my Spiralized Cucumber Greek Salad, I had a bunch of feta cheese and tomatoes left over so I immediately thought about adding it to chicken. These chicken breasts are stuffed with crumbly feta cheese, […]
Guajillo Chili Red Enchilada Sauce
I finally broke down and got a Le Creuset Dutch Oven and I’m in LOVE with it. I’ve been making soups and stews, caramelized onions, shredded pork, and sauces. One of my favorite sauces is this Guajillo Chili Red Enchilada Sauce. After trying lots of different store-bought enchilada sauces, I realized that I never found a favorite. […]
Mint Black Cherry Sparkler
As the summer months are quickly approaching, so is the warmer weather. That means I’ll finally get to dig my sundresses and shorts out of the back of the closet and put away my cozy sweaters. That also means that I need to hit the gym a little harder and fine-tune my diet. Even though […]

Funfetti Cheesecake with a Whipped Vanilla Icing
This cheesecake makes me smile. The sprinkles remind me of summer pool parties and sunny weather. That’s why I think it’s a great recipe for a Monday morning. Sprinkles are perfect for brightening up the start of a week. The sprinkles disintegrate during baking, so the entire cheesecake is super-creamy and smooth. Topped with a light, […]

Barbecue Peach Meatballs
After visiting Carlsbad Caverns, we headed north through Taos to Durango, Colorado. When I was a child, we took the historic steam-powered train from Durango to Silverton through the beautiful San Juan mountains. We sat in one of the open train cars, so we could enjoy the incredible weather and views. We didn’t even bother to bring […]
S’more Trail Mix
After visiting the Antelope Slot Canyons near Page, Arizona, we arrived at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We are staying in a cabin right on the rim of the canyon. It’s been a lot of fun watching the sunrises and sunsets from our porch rocking chairs. We’ve stayed in these cabins countless times during my childhood, […]
