One thing I love about Summer, is the delicious Summer foods. And one food that screams Summer, BBQs and picnic lunches, to me at least, is Potato Salad. It's a bit time consuming to make (cooling the potatoes, chopping veggies), but well worth it. This Potato Salad recipe is fairly simple. I added a few… Continue reading Potato Salad

Pasta Salad
This summer has been super hot, and I haven't been in the mood to cook or eat big meals. So, I have been living off of salads and fruit. It has been delicious and quite healthy 😂. I'm not entirely sure where the recipe came from. I know I googled it at some point to… Continue reading Pasta Salad
Parmesan Pesto Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp
I am the worst photographer ever! But these were delicious! These Spaghetti squash "bowls" or "boats" are easy to make, but a bit time consuming because Spaghetti squash takes a bit to prep. You're going to want to start by poking some holes into your squash with a fork and then microwaving it for at… Continue reading Parmesan Pesto Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp
Garden Chicken Pasta
This is just a simple pasta that I threw together tonight. What I like most about it is that it's adjustable to your tastes so you can add and take away things that you do or don't like. Really, this is just a guideline or starting point. My first step was to prepare my chicken… Continue reading Garden Chicken Pasta

Also easy, was… Continue reading Greek Orzo Salad

I made this delicious tomato basil soup, not only because of the wet cold weather, but also because I had… Continue reading Crockpot Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Butternut Squash Risotto
This risotto was so delicious and so easy to make! I ate practically the whole pan tonight myself! Originally the recipe calls for mushrooms as well as the butternut squash, but I absolutely cannot stand mushrooms so I just left them out. You of course, can add them if mushrooms are your thing. I got… Continue reading Butternut Squash Risotto

This recipe was soooo delicious! Very messy to eat though but so fun! Last summer I scoured Pinterest looking for summer recipes that I could make in my crockpot as we have next to no air conditioning in our apartment to run my oven. This is one of the recipes that caught my eye. It… Continue reading Caribbean Pulled Chicken Lettuce Wraps
