I adore this salmon. It's so flavorful and the combination I want to make salmon more often, but it's so expensive. So I buy it when my budget allows and then pair it with inexpensive sides like rice and frozen veggies. And top it with an amazing sauce or glaze like this one... These peach, sesame oil and ground ginger flavors are just magical! Ginger Peach … [Read more...]
Veggie Loaded Spaghetti Sauce
I love sneaking veggies into sauces like this. Shredded carrots meet a homemade spaghetti sauce and never once have my boys asked about the "orange stuff" in the sauce. (And I think that's because I shred the carrots really small!) I ALWAYS double up when I make this...so that I always have spaghetti sauce in the freezer if I need it for a no-brainer dinner! I'm … [Read more...]

Maple Dijon Salmon
This salmon is one of the first FreezEasy recipes that I developed for the new freezer meal plans. I remember making it a few more times than I normally do with new recipes because it's so scrumptious! Mix up a simple marinade, then toss with the salmon in a freezer safe bag or shallow container. As the salmon thaws, it marinates in this amazing sauce. And then you get to … [Read more...]
Grilled Southwestern Steaks
We don't make steaks often around here...but when we do, we make them with a homemade seasoning or rub! My oldest and third sons would eat steak morning, noon and night. They have been known to jump up and down in the kitchen when I tell them we are having steak for dinner! The meal is a bit of a throw back for me...as we'd often enjoy a thin steak with rice and avocado … [Read more...]
