The dish is made by lightly sautéing sliced garlic in lots of extra virgin Olive Oil with the addition of chili flakes and tossing with spaghetti. It sounds too simple to be good, but it’s among the best. Amazing dinner for the family. We are pasta lovers. We love Lasagna rolls, Manicotti, cheese Cannelloni, veggie pasta bake, five cheese Ziti and many more. Pasta Aglio E Olio is one of the most basic and easiest Italian recipes....

My kids enjoy granola so much; I couldn’t resist making a fun new dessert version for them when I saw the chocolate chips in the cupboard as I was starting the granola the other day. My boys loved this granola recipe so much (big surprise, right?) that they begged for a sprinkling of it over their cereal and yogurt each day until it was gone. Over the past few months, granola has been on our table in one form or another at least once or twice a week....

Peanut Butter Oatmeal I still remember the cringe I felt when my son suggested I make peanut butter and jelly oatmeal, so many years ago. Well, my kids loved this breakfast. How could they not, when it reminded them of their favorite sandwich? The peanut butter thickens the oatmeal and creates a distinct peanut butter flavor. Combined with the jelly, this oatmeal really is reminiscent of my boys’ favorite sandwich. I actually enjoyed eating it, too....

For more ideas on how to serve turkey at Thanksgiving, check out my posts for the Best Ever Turkey Breast Instant Pot Recipe, Stuffed Turkey Breast, and Cranberry Pecan Turkey Salad. Does the thought of cooking a whole turkey in the oven send you into near panic? That used to be me! Even after I started this blog, when the holidays would roll around I’d avoid cooking a whole turkey by letting everyone else do it for me!...

This is comfort food at its finest, a symphony of flavors that will warm your heart and taste buds. Traditionally, chicken pot pie is made by cooking a whole chicken in a pot of boiling water with many ingredients, then shredding the chicken and using the stock in the soup....

With your eyes closed, you might not be able to tell one drink from the other. The citrus in the smoothie hides the spinach flavor very well. I’m sharing this version today, to challenge you once again to try a green smoothie if you still haven’t done that. They really are delicious!

Portillos is a restaurant I discovered while visiting Chicago 10 years ago. I fell in love with their house chopped salad and day-dreamed about it for several years until they opened a location in Anaheim, California where we are lucky enough to visit several times a year. Lucky for us, that means every few months I get to enjoy a Portillos chopped salad, crinkle cut fries, and hot Italian beef[-and-sausage sandwich (with all the fixin’s)....

This recipe is super simple and easy to follow and only requires one rise (WOOHOO!) thanks to Fleischmann’s® RapidRise™ Yeast. The yeast is fast-acting, which means your that much closer to a piping hot pan of yummy, perfectly light and fluffy red velvet cinnamon rolls....

In our family, rice pilaf with a little bit of yogurt salad is a meal on its own. My kids love rice, so it’s my go-to lunch on busy days. In fact, when I make chicken schnitzel, breaded chicken breast, or chicken tenders, I always serve it with rice. Today, I serve this pilaf with baked chicken drumsticks. These baked legs take about 40 minutes in the oven. So, rice is the perfect dish to make while waiting for the chicken to bake....

Here’s a delicious variation of lasagna that will “wow” everyone who has the good fortune to eat it! I LOVE lasagna. It’s one of those things I could eat several times a week and not get tired of it. This variation was created spur of the moment when I was trying to decide what to make with a fennel bulb I had on hand. I had also just bought some ground Italian sausage....

Tuna and salmon are two very popular fish in our home. We love them sashimi-style, in a poke bowl, or as lightly seared steaks. The best part about both these fish is that they need very little cooking. Why make this ahi tuna recipe? The recipe is very simple and easy with few ingredients easy to find sushi-grade fish. The cooking time is less than 6 minutes which is perfect seared on the outside still red on the inside....

Sheet Pan Meals are blowing up right now! Here are some more favorites: Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Fried Rice, Healthy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas, and Sheet Pan Sweet Fire Chicken. It’s officially fall (and I have the weather forecast pulled up in front of me to back me up) and I have nothing but easy dinners that invoke fall flavors on my mind. Sure, grilling is nice and Instant Pots are fabulous, but nothing beats the aromas of chicken and veggies cooking in the oven....

It’s already halfway through August. HOW did that happen?? I feel like Summer is slipping away and I’m dying a little bit because Summer is my jam. Tan lines and flip-flops, trips to the lake, camping, cooking and eating outdoors, it’s what my heaven looks like. I’m not ready to give it up just yet. I think I need about three more months of Summertime goodness and then I might be ready to transition into Fall....

If you love this better than takeout Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Fried Rice, you’ll love Sticky Chinese Lemon Chicken, Best Fried Rice, Sheet Pan Sweet Fire Chicken, and Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef. This post is in partnership with Reynolds. All opinions are my own. This winter is going to wrap up soon, right? Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring and I’m holding him to it! Even though I live in Utah with tons of gorgeous snow-covered mountains to wake up to every day, I’m still a warm-weather girl at heart....

My love affair with ice cream has been thriving since I was just a little tyke. (I’m still little, but I like to think I’m no longer a tyke) I was an adamant chocolate lover for years but eventually, I realized there is more goodness in this world than chocolate-chocolate-chocolate. Note: chocolate is still my fav, but my heart has made room for other yumminess. Frozen creamy pineapple yumminess is high on my list of loves....
