Ricotta Shrimp Over Polenta

Just looking at the pictures of this meal makes me drool. I licked the plate clean!! I love shrimp, cheese, and polenta, so this was a fun recipe to create and especially to eat. When Austin and I were dating long-distance, almost every time Austin came to visit, we ate a meal similar to these– the original recipe came from… Continue reading

Green Bean and Tomato Tabbouleh Salad

Summer time and the grillin’ is easy! We grill lots and lots of meat, so I try really hard to make sure we are eating veggies and whole grains. This salad definitely fits the bill! I think that most tabbouleh salads are cold, but I wanted something a warm salad. It was great hot but still delicious cold when I ate… Continue reading

Simple Grilled Veggies

There is nothing better than food right off the grill. Now that it’s nice outside, we try to grill as much as we possibly can. One of our favorite things to do is to grill veggies. A simple side dish– but you just can’t beat the flavors! What are your favorite veggies to grill in the summer?

Coconut Onion Rings

We already know how much I love onion rings– and how easy they were to make on my own. That same week that I saw the BBQ Onion Rings on one blog, these amazing Coconut Onion Rings were on Running to the Kitchen. It was fate- I had to make them. You can never have too many onion rings, right? I… Continue reading

Seasoned Sweet Potato Chunks

It finally feels like summer, and we are enjoying having friends over to barbecue. We normally have brats, chicken, hamburgers, and/or hot dogs, and our friends bring over different side dishes. We have an unhealthy obsession with meat in our household, so it’s always good when our friends bring over veggies! One of our friends is doing the Whole 30…. Continue reading

I tasted one bite and wanted to make it for Austin at home. Turns out that we didn’t have any canola oil, so I thought I would try peanut… Continue reading
