What I'm Loving Lately -Cookbook edition {July edition}


I'll be honest. I only actually own one of these cookbooks, and that's because I got it at Goodwill for $ .69. While I'm too cheap to actually buy these for myself, I do get them from the library constantly. I think I have stated before that I have a problem with cookbooks, because there are generally only a couple recipes in each that I would actually make and eat. That is not the case with these. Each of these cookbooks has dozens upon dozens of recipes that I want to make and NOW.

Mexican Tortilla Casserole {Foodie Friday}

Since I started eating black beans I have tried to find a couple different ways to make them. This one is fun because it is essentially Mexican lasagna. It’s flexible. Don’t have corn?

Perfect Brownie Bites {Foodie Friday}


Do I really need more than a picture to tell you how amazing these brownies are? Please stuff your face full of them when they are warm out of the oven. Anyone who thinks bad of you is really just jealous.

Well I have to say, I think this is my best photo shoot yet. Despite the crazy sun and raging heat, we had a lovely evening. Jessica and Brandon are so cute together. I can't wait for their wedding! Enjoy!

Salmon with Honey Balsamic Glaze {Foodie Friday}

We're on a bit of a fish kick aren't we? Add this to the list of quick weeknight meals that your family is sure to enjoy. I love salmon because it cooks so quickly. This marinade takes 30 seconds to put together and it really kicks this dish up a notch. We try to eat salmon a couple times a month, and this recipe has made its way into our rotation.  Let’s make and eat dinner quick so we can get back outside and enjoy the sunshine!

Italian Crusted Tilapia {Foodie Friday}



Well hello! Welcome to 4th of July weekend! I'm about to head on our annual vacation, but wanted to slip this gem in before we left!
It's an old recipe I pulled out of the archives. When I started my cooking escapades a lot of what I made for dinner, DH was kind of blah about, but DH loved this one. He was looking for more and couldn’t stop telling me how wonderful it was. It’s so simple and basic. Sometimes you have to stick with the classics.
