I tried a new recipe earlier this month. Like the Creamy Chicken Caesar Pasta I prepared for the first time last month, this recipe is one that my husband came across and thought sounded good. I’m so glad we gave it a try because it was delicious! It’s a one-skillet meal, so preparation and cleanup are super easy. If you like pasta … [Read more...] about Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Air Fryer Steak Bites
I tried a couple of new recipes during the month of June. Our favorite was this one. I’ve made steak bites before, but I had not previously prepared them in the air fryer. It turns out that this is a wonderful way to prepare them! In fact, it will be my default means of preparing them from now on.

July 2021 Dinner Menu
Summer has arrived and it is hot, hot, hot around here. We’re keeping cool by eating lots of popsicles! Like I did last month, I’ve planned meals that don’t require the oven to prepare.

Creamy Caesar Chicken Pasta
A while back I shared about how I got my husband to use Pinterest as a tool to save recipes that he’d like for me to try. He doesn’t pin things very often, but a few weeks ago he did pin a couple of recipes that sounded good to him. Because he was excited about these recipes, I deviated from our menu so I could try one. I was also … [Read more...] about Creamy Caesar Chicken Pasta

This is a great strategy, but it can be … [Read more...] about Does Having a Deep Freezer Save You Money?
BBQ Chicken Salad
I love salad. I could eat salad every day of the week and be happy, but my husband definitely doesn’t share this sentiment. Though he will eat it, he doesn’t find it to be as delicious and satisfying as I do. Thus, I’ve been trying a few new salad recipes in order to find some varieties that are hearty and have a flavor that he … [Read more...] about BBQ Chicken Salad
June 2021 Dinner Menu
Our weather has been hot and rainy over the last couple of weeks. We’re finally getting a break from the rain, but the heat isn’t going to go anywhere anytime soon. Thus, I’m trying to plan meals on my menu that don’t use the oven.

Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken
Every now and then my dinner plans don’t work out and I have to scramble to find something to prepare. This happened several weeks ago when I went to pull some Italian sausage from the freezer to thaw for dinner and realized I didn’t have any. I had forgotten to put it on my grocery order. I looked over the contents of my freezer and pantry … [Read more...] about Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken
