This is my favorite side dish when grilling meat. Because I can grill it alongside the meat and have the entire meal made on the grill. If you aren't grilling garlic bread, you should start now. It'll become your go-to 'starch' for all your future grilling meals. :) See the full Grilling Recipe for Grilled Garlic Bread here! Pin all of our 31 Days of Grilling Recipes … [Read more...]
Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich
I had to sneak in a kid favorite into this series. This is your basic peanut butter-banana sandwich with a few secret ingredients...grilled to perfection. But note, this isn't just for the kids. I loved this sandwich and have made it several times in the recent past. I just love how the peanut butter gets perfectly ooey gooey when you grill it. You could grill this on a … [Read more...]
Grilled Doughnuts Strawberry Shortcake
When I was pulling together old recipes and new ideas for this 31 Day series, I thought...I'll include some dessert recipes at the end of the month because dessert comes at the end of the meal. We should top off the series with some grilling dessert recipes. Then I thought... NO WAY. Let's start with dessert. So I added this ridiculously delicious dessert recipe on day 2. … [Read more...]
Asian Chicken & Veggie Foil Packs
Simple & tasty...that's my dinner-hour motto! This Asian Chicken & Veggie Grill Packs are just that...2 main ingredients plus a homemade Asian marinade...and done! Marinate the chicken, add to 'packet' of foil with some veggies and throw it on the grill. Serve it over or next to some rice. (Or if you're like me, you'll grill some garlic bread and serve with … [Read more...]
Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan Pasta Bake
Let me tell you where this meal comes from. It comes from the fact that I absolutely adore this skillet recipe (and thought it needed an oven-version!)...AND...the fact that I have a jar of sun-dried tomatoes leftover from the recent 20 Meals for $150 meal plan! I love sun-dried tomatoes and the flavor that they add to a meal, especially pasta. This pasta bake calls for … [Read more...]
Creamy Tomato Soup with Homemade Pesto
So it's hot. And you might think that I'm a little silly for sharing a soup recipe in the summer. But I'm having this soup chilled. Although, you could certainly warm this up. The homemade basil pesto is an absolutely lovely complement to the chilled tomato soup. As I took each bite (do you bite soup? maybe slurp? but that sounds so un-lady like?), I would grab a … [Read more...]
Cherry Cheesecake Red Velvet Bars
Let's talk about this smooth, summer-y dessert for a minute! Crumbly red velvet cake as the crust. Smooth, sweet cheesecake as the middle layer. Topped with perfectly sweet-tart cherries. Chilled to perfection. This just might be my favorite dessert of the summer, and it's time for you to try it! Cherry Cheesecake Red Velvet Bars This just might be my … [Read more...]
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
These pancakes are inspired by 2 things... 1. My Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal. (Which is basically baked oatmeal with cinnamon chips and white chocolate chips mixed in the batter!) 2. The way-too-complicated methods and recipes that I've seen for Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I'm all about the simpler-the better. I don't have time for crazy and fancy. These Cinnamon Roll … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Mocha Lava Cake
Want to treat yourself to a super simple and ridiculously delicious chocolate dessert? This is a total 'cheater lava cake' - meaning it's not made from scratch, it's made in the slow cooker...but I totally make up for the cheating by... 1. Adding more chocolate in the form of chocolate chips. 2. Adding instant coffee in the batter to bring up the chocolate … [Read more...]
Southwest Shells with Beans and Corn
Smoky, smoky, smoky! The flavor in this simple pasta salad gets kicked up a few notches by adding 2 spices to the mayo before you toss it all together. My guess is that you have all of these items on hand you could make this TONIGHT. I adore pantry staple recipes like this one...not only because of how easy and simple they are to put together, but also because they … [Read more...]
