Quick post tonight! We tried a recipe for Strawberry Slaw this evening and LOVED it! Glad we have leftovers because I’m excited to eat it again tomorrow as part of my lunch!! I love finding cooler side dishes for summer nights and this one is perfect! It’s relatively quick (especially with a few shortcuts) and requires simple ingredients.
Read MoreI love finding a new veggie side dish that’s easy and delicious because it makes me 10 times more likely to eat more veggies!! We recently tried this Summer Squash Casserole with a minor modification and it is definitely a dish we’ll be cooking again. Check out my recap for our experience with this recipe modification.
Read MoreLooking for a refreshing summer side dish? Look no further! This cranberry apple slaw is cool and tasty! I only recent tried slaws of any sort and it makes me wonder what I ever thought I wouldn’t like about them lol! I love dried cranberries in salads so this recipe caught my eye. I love the different textures in this slaw and how colorful it is!
Read MoreOur new favorite side dish!! These carrots have become quite the repeat dish lately! In fact, I think we had them with two meals this week and one last week! The flavor is fantastic and it’s simple enough that we typically have everything for the glaze on hand and I now just whip up the glaze with what looks about right for the number of carrots we’re roasting - it’s pretty fool proof!
Read MoreY’all already know we LOVE roasted Brussels sprouts! This garlic bacon aioli really elevates roasted Brussels sprouts and makes a great healthy appetizer or just a dressed up side for dinner. We tried this recipe tonight and it was tasty, easy and simple! And check back later this week to see the scallop recipe we paired them with!
Read MoreAfter our wedding, Darrell and I spent the weekend at Boone Tavern for a mini honeymoon. With the pandemic, we couldn’t really go out to restaurants but we enjoyed ordering room service from Boone Tavern’s delicious menu. I was also surprised at the number of gluten free items or alternatives they provided! One night we ordered the most amazing brussels sprouts. When trying to find a recipe to recreate the dish at home, we came across these Maple Dijon Brussels Sprouts. While they’re not an exact match, they’re incredibly tasty and simple!
Read MoreI’ll be the first to admit, I’ve had a rough time jumping on the cauliflower bandwagon. I’ve tried roasting cauliflower a few times and I’ve just not mastered it and there are so many other veggies I DO like roasted that I just haven’t made as much of an effort. We’ve tried mashed cauliflower a total of like 2 maybe 3 times and it’s just no… Darrell really liked it but I can’t get into it and then it smells weird in my opinion. But I know how much my *hubby* likes cauliflower so I did some Pinterest digging last week and found a recipe that sounded reasonable. Spoiler alert: I LOVED IT! Also, it is loaded with a bunch of stuff so that’s probably why… Pro tip: You can make all sorts of food you’re not crazy about actually great when you douse it in cheese and bacon!! :D Don’t judge.
