Brinner is generally quick and this one is colorful, flavorful, packed with protein and veggies. You can serve it as is, or with some ripe, fresh fruit. The cooking method for this meal is … [Read more...]
Grilled Balsamic Veggies
Here is the perfect side dish for your next cookout. As I've shared before this month (and I'll share again!), I love when you can make an entire meal out on the grill...main dish, side dish, bread and even dessert.

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...]
