I have shared my love for weeknight dinners on the grill before (most recently in this post). Since we had a few warmer days in March, we have already used the grilled quite a bit this spring. I made this Avocado Caprese Chicken a few weeks ago and couldn’t wait to share it with all of you. This easy grilled dinner is perfect for weeknights or anytime you are looking for a quick dinner. Pair it with a salad, rice or even pasta, this Avocado Caprese Chicken is a new favorite in our house.
Risotto is one of my favorite weekend meals to make at home. It’s a frequent dinner in our house, especially in the fall and winter. There are so many delicious risotto ingredients during that time of the year! However, I do have one favorite spring risotto that is becoming my go-to: lemon asparagus risotto. A bright and fresh spring meal, this springtime risotto is a delicious and easy weekend dinner recipe.
It is hard to believe Easter is just a little over a week away. It is even more difficult to believe given the cold temperatures and snowy forecasts we have here in D.C. Deviled eggs can be a year round food (they have even been popping up on restaurant menus around here lately!) but they seem especially fitting for Easter. And while the traditional deviled eggs are always a crowd favorite, I wanted to mix it up this year and share deviled eggs, three ways!
About once a month, I sit down and begin to brainstorm food post ideas. I always take into consideration upcoming holidays and other food worthy events when my making list. However, my favorite recipes to come up with are healthy spins on classic, sometimes even comfort food, dishes. I have shared quite a few here on the blog, including Buffalo Cauliflower, Zoodle Mac & Cheese and Cauliflower “Potato” Salad. I was trying to think of a comfort food that would be easy to spin into a healthier dish when I instantly thought of one of my favorite restaurants: Founding Farmers. With several locations around the Washington, D.C. area, the restaurant features farm to table dishes with an expansive vegetarian section. One of the vegetarian dishes is the “Many Vegetable Mushroom Loaf”. *Side note: I would highly recommend Founding Farmers if you are ever visiting the D.C. area!
Since meatloaf is one of our favorite winter dinners, I thought I would try a play on the Founding Farmers menu item: vegetarian “meat” loaf.
It’s no secret that sheet pan dinners are some of my favorite kinds of dinners. I’ve shared quite a few here on the blog, it’s one of my favorite recipes to develop! However, it is a toss up as to what I like most about these dinners. I love the flavor of roasted vegetables but I also love how quick and easy the preparation and clean up is for these types of meals! With St. Patrick’s Day next week, I wanted to share an Irish sheet pan dinner that is the perfect way to celebrate.
Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope you enjoyed your weekend/long weekend. I just wanted to hop on to share this quick and easy homemade ravioli recipe I have made a few times this winter. Pasta is one of my favorite foods. I probably could eat it every night if it were acceptable, but homemade pasta has always been on my cooking to do list. While this isn’t exactly homemade pasta, it does come pretty close. And it’s a quick and yummy weekend dish.
If you live anywhere in the Northeast, I am sure you have been reaching for your favorite cold weather dinners the past few weeks. I have been rotating between crockpot meals and sheet pan dinners. Or anything else that sounds remotely warm. One of the quintessential winter dinners is chili. And whether made in the crockpot or on the stovetop, chili is one of my favorite winter dinners.
It may be difficult to think about right now, but come Friday, leftovers will be filling most of our refrigerators. Each year, I like to share a recipe that is perfect for using up all those leftovers. Today it’s all about Thanksgiving leftovers: turkey pot pie edition!
I’ve been on a real kick with the sheet pan and crockpot dinners lately. I love how simple both cooking methods are! For the crockpot, two weeks ago I shared a Loaded Baked Potato Soup that I have made countless times and this week it’s all about the sheet pan dinner. I wanted to incorporate some of my favorite fall vegetables into a dinner a few weeks ago and came up with this delicious and healthy mix of fall flavors for the ultimate fall sheet pan dinner.
I have shared my love for crockpot dishes before, but I think we have a new favorite in our house. Now that it is fall, I have been trying to do crockpot dinners at least twice a week. Not only do I love the ease of these recipes, but there is no beating a quick and warm dinner on a cold fall evening. I made this recipe a few weeks ago and have made it twice since. I am officially addicted! After making it for the third time, I think I have finally mastered the combination of ingredients to create the most delicious Loaded Baked Potato Soup!
