Can you say CINCO DE MA-YUM!!!! It's Cinco de Mayo week and I've got a great new recipe to try! Love me some salsa (yes, I judge tex-mex joints based on their salsa!) and I apparently have been missing out on the whole 'add avocado chunks to your salsa' thing. This is 'next level' salsa right here...and I'm so grateful to my friend Hannah for introducing me to this bowl … [Read more...]
Garlic Lime Chicken
I love how chicken is like a blank slate or empty canvas...and that you can give it so many different wonderful flavors with different sauces and marinades. This particular marinade is super simple and is perfect for chicken that you plan to freeze, say...when you buy extra from a great sale or deal at your grocery store?! The chicken is frozen with the marinade, then when … [Read more...]
Ginger Peach Pork Chops
There's just something about a simple, fruity glaze that I love on pork chops. This glaze happened 'by accident' as I was fishing around the pantry for ingredients and turns out it's just lovely. The peach preserves plus the ginger and a little sesame oil - it's a great balance of simple and well matched flavors. Plus, my boys will gobble, gobble, gobble this up! Also, … [Read more...]
Skillet Caprese Chicken
This recipe is one of our new MyFreezEasy meals. And while I've written the directions below for making it as a "fresh meal," I would highly recommend freezing the chicken with the oil and balsamic because it will marinate beautifully as it thaws! These fabulous flavors combine in a skillet to make an amazing, fresh and 'light' weeknight dinner. Also, I highly recommend the … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Asian Shredded Beef
Holy fakeout-takeout. I want to say holy guacamole. But that wouldn't make sense with a fakeout-takeout kind of Asian dish like this. So, holy fakeout-takeout. This shredded beef is so delicious. And it's so easy to through together with a fabulous homemade Asian sauce. And...freezer friendly too! Love me a beef roast that can go freezer to slow cooker in just a … [Read more...]
3-Ingredient Pineapple Muffins
Yup yup...just 3 ingredients! Self rising flour, sugar and crushed pineapple. I'm all about the time hacks...including not pulling out all.the.baking.things. when you can use self-rising flour instead! Self-rising flour works wonderfully in many recipes, especially this one. I have not experimented with other sweeteners, but think that applesauce or coconut sugar would be … [Read more...]

Crunchy Dijon Cod
Oh my flavor. In general, I like fish. Milder fish is preferred. But when you add a ton of flavor and crunch, then I love fish. And by ton of flavor and crunch, I mean this. Dill, lemon, Dijon mustard. With some bread crumbs. Generously piled on top of a mild fish, like cod. YUM. This will not disappoint!!! Crunchy Dijon Cod Dill, lemon, Dijon … [Read more...]
Goat Cheese Apricot Stuffed Chicken
So we're going to classify this one as "budget gourmet." Because it's a gourmet flavor...done on a budget! This is actually one of our new MyFreezEasy recipes and it's ridiculously delicious. I had originally thought about doing a quick 'fry-saute' of the chicken before baking it. But...in the spirit of simplicity, I decided that a little salt and pepper on top was just … [Read more...]

We're making a homemade sauce with some ground chicken and the end result... THIS.
