Behind the scenes peak. So this is my June 2012 photos folder for the blog in Photoshop. The only food I’ve taken photos of in all of June were these Chicken Pineapple Kebabs. And I’ll confess that Steve assembled them and cooked them. And I just took the photos. So why haven’t I been cooking? [...]

This weekend I was really craving some teriyaki kebabs…I knew I had the canned pineapple (new coupon out for Dole…save and use with $1 sale for $.50 cans!), the chicken and we had a few peppers in the fridge that we didn’t use last week. So I thought teriyaki kebabs would be perfect. I figured [...]

Chicken Guacamole Enchiladas. Cilantro Lime Chicken Avocado Enchiladas. Cilantro Lime Chicken Guacamole Enchiladas. CLCG Enchies. For short. I really don’t care what we call these, because it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that they are packed with flavor. And they are the perfect summer enchilada. Sales for avocados have started, you can pinch cilantro [...]

Last week I decided to tack onto my batch cooking plan…doubling up on browning some ground beef. I ended up doing spaghetti for dinner one night and saved the other half of the beef I ground. I thought I’d use it later this week or next week…but ended up making this goulash over the weekend. [...]

We’ve all seen (or had) the 7 layer dip cups to serve at parties. But what about dinner in a cup. Specifically, burrito dinner in a cup. Sure burritos, require tortillas…but what if you can’t eat tortillas. We have a kid who is currently off gluten (and a number of other foods) because of some [...]
Hey y’all! No recipe from me this week…or any other day this week. I’m out of town (again!) this week and decided to step back, lighten up my workload and enjoy my time in LA. Yes, I will be working some of the time…but will still plenty of time for fun too! We’ve still got [...]
If you only read the title and you don’t read one, you might be missing your new favorite enchilada recipe! You know what you might be thinking… Erin, seriously…sweet potatoes in enchiladas. I can see the look on your face. Because I saw it on my friend Christan’s face when I was telling her about [...]

Evening y’all! I had all kinds of grand intentions of getting this recipe posted on Friday…but that just didn’t happen! After getting home from the Atlanta Savings Nation class (which was AMAZING folks!…you have got to go to one if it comes to your area!), I took the boys down to Cincinnati to the Lego [...]
Remember this Slow Cooker Brown Sugar and Balsamic Pork Roast from Slow Cooker week? I’ve been dying to try it. I’m a huge balsamic fan and was intrigued by the pork, brown sugar, balsamic flavor combination. (See: Balsamic Chicken with Caramelized Onions, Chicken Wraps with Balsam-melized Red Onions, Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Balsamic Onions) [...]
I was cruising through the produce department recently and saw that eggplant was priced as “per eggplant,” not per pound. So of course, I looked for the largest one so I could make lots of sauce! Don’t forget to get the largest one when you see “per unit” prices in the produce department! So here’s [...]
