Grape tomatoes are just like candy to me … I love them and they are as much of a staple in our home as cloves of garlic. I also love the mini heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes … I’m not picky! Dennis loves to pack any of these types of tomatoes in his lunch and…
Chocolate Chunk Coconut Cookies
Last week was Dennis’ softball team’s first game of the fall season. The Fast & Furious is back in full swing, literally. I decided I’d make a couple batches of cookies to send to the field with Dennis. Apparently, the guys liked the cookies … every cookie was gone, which was just what I was…
Mediterranean Chicken with Portobello Mushrooms, Green Beans, and Mini Heirloom Tomatoes
Last week, I made a dish for dinner that we loved. I decided to make it again tonight and blog the recipe for you all. When I made this dish last week, I used only two portobellos, however, I did decide to use a lot more portobello mushrooms tonight. They are big, but they do…
Simple Spaghetti
It has been so warm in San Diego this summer. It’s so warm, you don’t even want to turn on the oven. So, when deciding what to make for dinner, I decided I’d cook a pot of angel hair pasta, which only takes 3-5 minutes. Instead of cooking a sauce, I decided to drizzle olive…
Cilantro Caesar Chicken
I bought a little too much cilantro the other day for my citrus cilantro rice, so decided to use some of it to add to my marinade for chicken breasts last night. I decided to use thin sliced chicken breasts … I like that they aren’t too large and are just the perfect size for…
Citrus Cilantro Rice
Last night, Dennis, Kylie and I were invited to a good friend’s for a barbecue. Paul, Elizabeth and Rachel have been friends since our girls were in first grade and we consider them to be more than friends, to us they are family. I asked Elizabeth what I could bring and she suggested rice or…
Summer Bounty Tacos
Wondering what to make for lunch today, I searched my vegetable bin in the refrigerator and came up with a zucchini, an ear of corn, cremini mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and an onion. I decided to pull that all together to sauté and make tacos on corn tortillas. This is a great lunch or dinner if…
Merlot Meatball Sandwich
Last weekend, Dennis and I stopped at Subway for a sandwich for lunch. I do enjoy Subway as a healthy and quick lunch when we’re out running errands. I always make sure to order a sandwich that is under their Fresh Fit Choices. Most often, I will choose the Turkey Breast, every now and then,…
Jalapeño Orange Pork Tenderloin Street Tacos
It’s Taco Tuesday! Do you know what you’re making for dinner tonight? If not, I may have the perfect recipe to satisfy your taco cravings. On Sunday, Dennis and I were at Sprouts doing our grocery shopping. I knew I was going to be making a pork tenderloin for dinner and while we were shopping,…
Toasted Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Chocolate chunk cookies … who doesn’t love those? I realized that I had not made homemade cookies since October! That’s almost 10 months ago. I can’t believe I haven’t had a homemade cookie in that long. Life is supposed to be for enjoying, so I decided to enjoy myself a bit yesterday and treat myself…
