Who doesn’t love tacos on Cinco de Mayo? Or any given Tuesday, or any day of the week, really. Instead of tacos for your Cinco de Mayo dinner this year, how about making a Mexican Pizza? This idea came to me while I was at a baseball game last week. On the Jumbotron, they put…

“Super” Bowl Guacamole
Happy Super Bowl LIX! I’m getting ready to host our friends and our daughter for Super Bowl Sunday. Our son-in-law has to work today, but I’m ready to load our daughter up with lots of goodies to take home to him so he doesn’t feel left out. I just prepared the guacamole and I swear,…
Chicken and Rice Bake
I was feeling nostalgic for some of the dinners my mom would sometimes make in the 80’s so decided to make my own version of the chicken and rice bake most of us probably remember well. In my version of this dish, instead of water, I chose to use chardonnay and chicken broth. I mixed…
Refreshing Chimichurri Sauce for Salmon, Steak, and Chicken | Sunshine and Savory
Chimichurri is so herbaceous and refreshing! I made it last month to top flank steak and loved it so much, I could’ve eaten the leftover sauce with a spoon right out the bowl! We invited our daughter’s in-laws over to kick off the “unofficial start to summer” 2024. I made salmon, steak and chicken to…
Garlic Roasted Tomato Spaghetti with Crispy Parmesan Topping
I love nothing more on my spaghetti than chunky, slow roasted tomatoes that I roast with an entire head of garlic in some olive oil and seasonings. I used an entire head of garlic to ensure there was no lack of flavor in this dish. It paid off to peel and mince that entire head,…
Italian Meatballs
Yum! That’s the word I have to start this blog post. I usually don’t bake my meatballs in the oven. More often than not, I form them and let them cook and simmer in a red sauce for a bit on the stovetop. I also think if I cook them in the oven, they will…
Tomato Tart
As I cleaned and reorganized our refrigerator on Saturday, I noticed I had a Pillsbury Pizza Dough to use. I didn’t really feel like making a pizza, per se, so decided I’d make a tomato tart that we could use as a side to our leftover chili as well as a main course for lunch…
Ground Turkey Asian Lettuce Wraps
I love lettuce wraps. I wanted to share my version of ground turkey lettuce wraps for you all. I love the flavor so much in these (OMG! They are soooo good!) I started by making my sauce. To a large measuring glass, I combined water, reduced sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, the juice of…
Whole Grain Beef Lasagne
Yesterday was our daughter’s first day of school … her first day as a college junior. I can’t even believe she’s 20 years old and in the second half of her college career. As I always do on the first day of school, I asked her what she’d like for dinner. Kylie requested to celebrate…
Olive Topped Swordfish Steaks
My husband is not a big lover of fish, but there are a few he does enjoy. One of those is swordfish. While I was at the butcher last week, they had some really nice looking swordfish steaks. I had him wrap up a couple for me and I immediately headed to the condiment aisle…
