Nothing makes me more proud and happy than when my toddler inhales a bowl of food that is really good for him! I made these lobster rolls yesterday and while Parks ate his deconstructed style with the bun on the side, he ate every bite of the filling and practically shoveled it in his mouth. That's how good these are guys! If you have never had a lobster roll I think you are going to love them! I will tell you that my hubby and I fell in love with lobster rolls while we were in Maine last year, and ever since coming back I kept saying I wanted to make a healthier version at home! I finally did it and put my own twist on them and the result was incredible! My lobster rolls with avocado, corn, and tomato salad are the perfect summer dinner for any night of the week!
There is a taco phenomenon going on right now and I have to say I am not hating it! I love all kinds of tacos...who doesn't right? We have breakfast tacos once a week in our house and sometimes will have another taco recipe for dinner all in the same week! My hubby would eat tacos all day, everyday if I would make them for him, and our toddler is just as crazy about eating them too! (Like father, like son!) I love making my favorite foods like tacos at home because I can control the ingredients and make them a bit healthier, which means we get to eat them more! One of my favorite easy and healthy weeknight meals that I make on a regular basis happens to be my easy fish tacos!
One of the things I miss most about living in Louisiana was the plethora of Mediterranean restaurants available to us. Every time we go back to visit, you better believe that I make sure to hit up our favorite spots. The last time that we were in town, my hubby and I got all of our favorite dishes and ended up ordering Lebanese tea that was so refreshing and delicious I couldn't believe how much I loved the combo of flavors. (How did I not know about this delicious drink before now?) I knew I had to make sure you knew about it too, so I created my own version at home! Lemon Rose Iced Tea (Lebanese Tea) is going to be your new favorite summer beverage on the hottest of days!

Who says you have to leave your house to have a little fun in the sun? One of my favorite things to do is hang out with my guys right in our own backyard! A little fun in the sun with all of the comforts of home? Sign me up! I love creating a fun atmosphere with good food, fun games, and family time! Luckily for me, Kroger Marketplace was the perfect one stop shop to create the best backyard BBQ right at home!
Y'all...I don't know how it is possible, but next week is July 4th and suddenly I feel like this year is passing by at an alarmingly fast speed! But regardless how I feel about that, the fourth is coming, ready or not, and that means it's time to get out your grills! I love switching up my normal burger routine in the summertime and incorporating some of my favorite seasonal ingredients to make an extra special burger! My sweet and spicy bourbon peach chutney pork burgers are so full of flavor and are the perfect recipe to make for all of your summertime grilling festivities!
My hubby is addicted it açaí bowls. Every Friday he takes our son to a local cafe and they share one together! Although I have been putting açaí packets in my smoothies for a while now, until we went to Hawaii I had never actually had an açaí bowl! (I loved it obviously!) They were so fresh and delicious, the perfect way to start our day! I knew I wanted to start making them at home because they are much more cost effective this way, and now we can have them whenever we want! I created a recipe for easy loaded açaí bowls that anyone can do right in their own kitchen!
