Pumpkin tends to get all of the love at this time of year, but apples deserve their own time in the spotlight if you ask me. There are so many varieties of apples out there, but one of my favorite to bake with happen to be granny smith apples. I love the slight tartness that they bring to a recipe and they are perfect for muffins as well. There is nothing that smells much better than fresh muffins baking in the oven, and these definitely do not disappoint. This recipe for apple cinnamon streusel muffins is sure to become one of your favorite fall muffin recipes.

I took two of my favorite dishes and merged them together to create a truly delicious spin on the traditional shrimp and grits recipe. Louisiana style bbq shrimp happens to be one of my husband’s favorite dishes and I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious shrimp and grits recipe that uses those same flavors. Creole BBQ shrimp and grits is one of those dishes that is loaded with flavor and is a crowd pleaser all around.

Zucchini is the vegetable that I find everyone one ends up having an abundance of in their fridge in the summertime. Whether you picked some up at your local farmer’s market or grew it yourself in the garden, zucchini seems to be the vegetable that everyone has on hand right now. Beyond using it as is or in savory dishes, I love grating it up into my baked goods too. Zucchini is one of those vegetables that doesn’t have a ton of flavor so you can get away with tucking into baked goods, smoothies, and more! This recipe for chocolate chip zucchini muffins is going to quickly become your new favorite summer muffin recipe.

Crispy Spiced Chicken Cutlets with Tomato Cucumber Salad

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Few things make me happier than perfectly crispy fried chicken! I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to bring you such a delicious and light way to enjoy fried chicken any night of the week. I personally love serving up something tangy, crisp, and crunchy with my fried chicken and so it just makes sense to serve up this chicken with a fresh summer salad. Summer cucumbers and tomatoes come together in a simple salad that pairs perfectly with these fried chicken cutlets. This recipe for crispy spiced chicken cutlets with tomato cucumber salad is going to be on repeat for dinner on season long.

Smoothies are one of those things that we tend to make more of in the summer months. When it’s hot outside, sometimes all you want is something cold and nourishing. I love that I can pack my smoothies with good for you ingredients and that they always taste delicious too. I tend to use fruit that is in season and buy it in bulk and then freeze some of it when it gets perfectly ripe and sweet. Peaches are particularly great for this because they ripen so quickly. This recipe for my strawberry and peach smoothie tastes like a milkshake, I kid you not, and you are going to love making it all summer long!
