It's been a long time. Too long of a time, since I've done a "5 Ways" post. Because we've been grilling lots and lots these past few weeks, I thought a grilling something version of 5 Ways was in order. So we'll start with potatoes. Below, you'll find 5 different ways to grill potatoes. And please feel free to share your favorite grilled potatoes recipes in the … [Read more...]
Chicken, Pineapple, Pepper Kebabs
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 I had some teriyaki sauce on hand...because I usually keep some, "just in … [Read more...]

Homemade Jerk Seasoning and Grilled Jerk Chicken Recipe
Afternoon my friend! If you want some extra "jerk" to your seasoning, just add a little more red pepper. I try to keep things on the mild end because of the little ones in the house. Hope you enjoy it! Over the past few years, I've taken a number of steps toward healthier eating on a budget. In addition to making my own salad dressings, I've also … [Read more...]
Grilled Pork Chops, Peaches and Red Onions
A little over 3 years ago my life changed for the better. I was doing the dishes after having a meal similar to this one. And just like you'd see on a "ticker" on ESPN or FoxNews, the phrase "$5 Dinners" passed through my brain. Then it passed through again. And again. And it wasn't long before I was sitting at the computer to see if this concept had been launched in … [Read more...]
Pesto Stuffed Burgers
I've been dreaming about these burgers for a while. A long while...ever since the Inside Out Cheeseburgers from last summer. I've been pondering what other delicious things could go inside of a burger...why not pesto!?! A little homemade pesto. Some provolone cheese. A tomato, sliced just moments after picking from the garden. All together as a burger...grilled to … [Read more...]

I made this pizza on Wednesday afternoon. The same afternoon I made some whole wheat, sugar free muffins (I will share the recipe as soon as I can make them again...I need to get my hands on some more sucanat first!). The afternoon I was feeling pioneer-ish! My neighbor was over and our kids were playing around the yard. We were catching up, talking about the upcoming school … [Read more...]
Chicken Fajita Melts
The final recipe from this month's pantry challenge. This is a new one to me. Maybe not to you. In the freezer I found chicken breasts, peppers and onion blend, loaf of reduced priced bread, slices of pepper jack cheese. And the pantry did make a contribution to the meal...some jarred salsa! Once I had it all out on the counter, it occurred to me that I bought some … [Read more...]
