So, this past weekend the “3 Ring Circus” (that’s what I lovingly refer to as my family of 3) hit the road to visit my brother and his family. One of the things that made this trip so special was the fact that we got to stay on their houseboat. Boy, did we have fun! If you’ve ever been boating or anywhere that requires food in a cooler you know it is essential to make the food count. I am always looking for ways to make the food on the boat delicious, easy, and no cleanup. We are all trying to eat a bit healthier right now. So for this trip, I put my thinking cap on and came up with these Easy TO GO Salads. From salad, to container, to cooler, to trash. Nothing to carry home for cleanup. You are gonna want all the details!
Yummy Way To Use Up Summer Squash
Squash, squash, everywhere squash! You may be growing your own or have a friend or family member with it coming out of their ears. (I love this because I’m always sent home with a bunch.) Everywhere I visit, there is a basket of zucchini and squash sitting on the counter. Since squash is extremely abundant this time of year, I’m always looking for new ways to eat it. I love the sweet flavor from squash and this recipe compliments it fabulously.
Deliciously Sweet Broccoli Cauliflower Salad
This deliciously sweet Broccoli Cauliflower Salad is the perfect addition to any potluck, holiday, family gathering, or cookout. You guys are gonna love it. It’s a little sweet and a little salty from the bacon and it is oh so good.
Free Printable Patriotic Party Pack
It’s that time of year when the night air is filled with pops and there is a constant sparkle in the sky. I love July 4th. The beauty of fireworks, the celebration of our freedom, good food, and spending time with family and friends. What’s not to love? In honor of this amazing time of year, I’ve created a whole free printable Patriotic Party Pack. You can print it all or just what you need.
Jalapeno Duck Poppers
Don’t tell my husband, but I’m totally sharing his secret ingredient for these amazing Jalapeno Duck Poppers! I’ve tried unsuccessfully to get some good pictures every time he makes these bad boys up. Guess what? I finally got some great pictures last weekend and I’m spilling the beans on his secret ingredient.
Easy Overnight Breakfast Casserole
I attended an amazing volunteer breakfast a few months back and got to taste many scrumptious treats. One that stood out to me was this Easy Overnight Breakfast Casserole. I remember taking a bite and another trying to figure out what it was that made it so delicious. I had to have the recipe, so I hunted till I found out Tami Buchanan had made the casserole. Then I found out, besides the salt and pepper, there are only four ingredients! Tried and True and this recipe is in regular rotation.
Easy Homemade Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
Well, my kiddo just turned 11 years old. It is so bitter sweet. He keeps getting older and more independent which is sweet but I’m losing my baby which is bitter. Birthdays call for cake and ice cream! The kiddo loves him some ice cream. (he would eat ice cream every night if we let him.) He isn’t the biggest fan of cakes, but he will eat it. Garrett does love cookies and cream and ice cream sandwiches. So, what’s the compromise? Make your own! Why not make an ice cream cake your kid will love and you can customize the flavors to your child’s taste? That’s exactly what I did! This easy homemade ice cream sandwich cake was just what the kiddo ordered! Did I mention it was way cheaper than store bought?!
Strawberry Poke Cake Made Skinny
Strawberry Poke Cake is an oldie but a goodie! It’s an easy delicious cake made with fresh strawberries and cool whip. But…. did you know you can lighten up the traditional recipe and keep all of the wonderful flavors? You definitely can! I make the skinny version even when I’m not trying to be skinny! If you are looking for a delicious dessert that’s lightened up, you should try my Strawberry Poke Cake Made Skinny!
