Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup with Sage Oil

Dare I say that I can finally feel a hint of fall?  The air is definitely changing here in Texas, even though it is still pretty hot compared to some other parts of the country, it's feels pretty great to me.  I had the windows open all weekend and definitely felt the fall baking bug and soup cravings hitting me hard.  Anyone else have this happening right now?  My roasted butternut squash and apple soup with sage oil is going to cure your soup hankering by giving you a hug from the inside!

One Pan Roasted Chicken Sausage and Veggies

Guess what came in the mail this week?  A copy of MY cookbook, that's what!  I am pinching myself y'all!  I mean I knew it was coming out ya know, but to actually have a copy in hand makes it so real and super exciting!  I cannot wait for you guys to get your hands on a copy and to hear what you think about all of the recipes!  Only another month and it will be officially released, but you can pre-order it here!   Needless to say, I couldn't go to sleep last night because my brain was too happy!  I'm feeling like I need extra coffee today and am thankful for easy dinners like my one pan roasted chicken sausage and veggies for days like today!

Easy Salmon on the Stove

Easy recipes have been saving my life lately.  Parks is officially on the move and getting into everything!  I almost always eat my breakfast and lunch standing up in between chasing him around the house and needless to say, this mama is whooped by the end of the day.  Pouring a glass of wine is sometimes all the energy I have left in me...truth.  I make salmon once a week because, number one it is so good for you, and number two it can be ready in 12 minutes!  That's why my recipe for easy salmon on the stove is perfect for any night of the week and especially for tired mamas.

Greek Chicken Pasta Salad

Can someone please explain to me how it is almost July and how I am going to have a 9 month old baby?  Where has the time gone?  This year is flying by entirely too fast for me and I need it to slow down.  We've had a lot going on the past month with Parks having surgery among other things and one thing that has been a lifesaver for me is easy dinners!  I have been making lots of 30 minute meals lately because I just don't have time for much else!  I am sure you can relate with kids home from school, vacations, and all of the other busyness that comes with summer.  The days are disappearing and dinner time rolls around without any warning leaving your hungry family staring at you wondering what will be on the menu for the night.  My Greek chicken pasta salad is going to be one of your new favorite easy meals that will fill up your "people" while keeping it somewhat healthy at the same time!

Grilled Apricot and Chicken Skewers

I've been back in the kitchen this week cooking for My Diary of Us (finally) and dang, it feels good.  With so much going on in my life right now, both work and personal, I have been neglecting this space that I have always loved coming to.  I'm jumping back in with baby steps and just kinda feeling my way back into the groove of it all.  But, with the said, I am jumping back in with an ultimate summertime recipe that you are going to want to make at your next barbecue...or if you are obsessed with grilling like me, then you will want to whip this one up on any ole night of the week.  My grilled apricot and chicken skewers are super healthy and have an explosion of flavors that will have your whole family begging for seconds.

Easy Taco Salad: My Diary of Us

Easy Taco Salad

Do you have those go-to recipes that you make over and over?  I know I do, and especially now with a baby, having my favorite easy recipes in the back of my brain at all times can be a lifesaver on hectic days.  I tend to make lots of salads these days, mostly because I can whip one up with whatever ingredients I have in the fridge on any particular week.  That being said, I also get a little bored with salads and need to throw in a different salad from time to time.  My easy taco salad is one of those salads that I tend to forget about, but every time I make it I'm like "dang this is so good, why don't I make this more often."  So here it is, the salad that will change your outlook on weeknight salads and I promise even your hubby (and kids too) will be super pumped about having this for dinner on a weekly basis!
