Last Thursday we had our dear friends over for dinner. We have all been super busy so we hadn't seen them in a while. I decided it was time to get together so I made a potato bar with all the fixings! I served large baked potatoes and had bowls of

German Potato Salad
Truth be told- I am NOT a potato salad fan. Potatoes covered in gloopy mayo has never been my thing. My hubby loves it though, weirdo. Bless his heart. haha. JK. For some reason when I was planning our 4th of July menu I thought a potato salad would go good with what I had planned, so I went on the hunt for a non-mayo recipe. I found this German Potato Salad recipe on-line,

California Pasta Salad
Summer is officially here! Well, for us here in Southern Utah anyway. :) Yesterday was the last day of school for the kids and let me tell you, they were a little too excited. haha. But I don't blame them one bit. After I picked them up from school we went to lunch and ran some errands in town. Not the funnest way to start off summer break, but today hopefully we'll make up for

Chow Mein (copycat)
I'm just now realizing I've been on a copycat recipes streak lately. ha! I recently shared the McDonald's Shamrock Shake, IHOP Pancakes and today's copycat is Panda Express' Chow Mein! I have to say this one is my favorite. It tastes like the one from Panda Express but better! I tricked my kids when I served this yummy chow mein with our favorite baked sweet and sour

Garlic Roasted Carrots
I seriously love to cook. I guess it's obvious- I do have my own food blog. ha! :D But really I do love it and started my blog to share my passion for it. Cooking relaxes me. I love to get lost in my kitchen creating something amazing to eat for my family. My favorite day of the week to cook on is Sunday. I usually go all out for Sunday dinners. A crock pot roast, gravy, fresh

The Best Green Bean Casserole
Yes, I admit it. I am a green bean casserole lover to the core! I not only make this classic dish at holiday dinners, but I make it year round with some of our favorite chicken dishes. I highly adapted this recipe from an old Food Network one. It's the only recipe I use because of the ingredients. Fresh, simple, yet amazing. The creamy homemade sauce is why I call this

Dijon Roasted Asparagus
I did not grow up eating many vegetables. Broccoli, corn and carrots were about it. My Mom was raising us 5 kids alone in a 2 bedroom apartment and we were pretty poor. There were 3 of us kids in 1 bedroom and my 2 oldest sisters in the other one. That left Mom sleeping on the pull-out couch in the tiny family room. She worked her butt off for us kids. Usually holding 2 or 3

Summer Corn Salad
This summer I've had a small obsession with corn. And when I say small- we bake or grill it atleast a few times a week. :D I can't get enough of the flavor and the texture is like nothing else. When you grill it the outside of the corn gets a little charred and crispy, and the inside becomes so tender and juicy. It's like a party in your mouth. A party our taste buds have

Rainbow Fruit Salad
I can't believe the Fourth of July holiday is almost here! How did that happen? ;) I swear, since we've been back from vacation time has just been flying by! I will say- I have been enjoying spending time with my kiddos this summer so far. We've kept ourselves pretty busy so I guess that's why the days are going by so fast. I made this Rainbow Fruit Salad a few weeks

Asian Pasta Salad
I'll never forget the first time I tried this ASIAN PASTA SALAD. My friend Jami brought it to one of our book club girls nights and I fell in-love at first bite. :D After I was finished with my second helping I begged Jami for the recipe. I needed this recipe in my life asap! She text it to me a few days later and I have been making it often ever since. The flavors going on

Cilantro Lime Rice
I have been making this CILANTRO LIME RICE for about a million years. ;) It's just like the one from Cafe Rio and we absolutely love it. It is my go-to rice recipe, besides our beloved Mexican Rice, that I make any time we're whipping up some Mexican food. Especially, on taco night. Kallen's been on an anti-taco kick lately. I don't know what's come over my son but he despises

Cheesy Broccoli Twice-Baked Potatoes
You guys, I'm a carboholic. It's true. If I had to choose to live off one thing for the rest of my life it would be potatoes or bread. Without a doubt! It's always so hard to resist. Especially when I'm trying to get in swimsuit shape for our Hawaii trip in June. The struggle is getting real resisting my starchy loves. Ha! So what better way to torture my own self than
