Pork Chops with Cranberry-Mustard Sauce
You know at the holidays when canned cranberries are on sale? Like, deep discount kind of sale? (And sometimes you can find them after the holidays as reduced for quick sale, if you store needs to move their extra inventory quickly!) I always.always.always. stock up and I'd encourage you to do the same. One of the reasons I stock up...is so that we can have these pork … [Read more...]
Blueberry Muffins with Vanilla Chex Streusel
So I'm a numbers nerd. I was doing some math and it looks like I've got 15 more years of the "busy back-to-school season" ahead of me. I'm 8 years in (with the early intervention pre-school my oldest attended) with 15 more to go. 22 years of someone starting school. That's a lot of busy, right there.

Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken
Lemon Pepper Chicken might be my favorite way to grill chicken. Why? Because the lemon juice does such an amazing job of tenderizing the chicken (the acidity actually breaks down the chicken to literally soften it), and infusing it's citrus-y flavor goodness deep into the chicken. The result is perfectly grilled chicken! Combined with more pepper in the marinade than you … [Read more...]

5-Ingredient Cajun Sausage Alfredo Dinner
I want you to not be spooked by the word Cajun. Or to think that it might be too spicy for any little mouths you might be feeding. While the Cajun sausage does have a bit of a kick to it, the creaminess from the Alfredo sauce really softens it nicely. And at the same time, the spice from the sausage brings out a touch of sweetness in the Alfredo sauce. (Did you know that … [Read more...]
