When it comes to side dishes, I like to keep my recipes quick and easy with maximum flavor! We mostly lean towards bowl food types of dishes for an ‘all in one’ approach. But sometimes it’s nice to make a side dish or two to go with a simple entrée.
3 Quick and Easy Apple Slice Snacks
I’ve heard these apple slice snacks called ‘apple doughnuts’, but in my opinion that’s taking things a little to far. Normally I have no problem with healthier versions, but just because these are doughnut shaped, doesn’t mean I can bring myself to use the term doughnut!
Grain Free Blackberry Cardamom Muffins
Is there anything better than ripe juicy blackberries plucked from the vine with sticky juice stained fingers, and still warm from the sun? I’m not sure, but I guess pretty much any berry still warm from the sun would make my list!
Fully Loaded Taco Salad with Salsa Dressing
Taco salad has been both a classic and a favorite since childhood. The way I grew up eating it was fully loaded with both cheddar cheese and sour cream. But I’ve been working on cutting back how much dairy I eat.
Day 15 in Iceland Hiking to Reykjadalur Hot River and the Blue Lagoon
If you’ve been following along with our Iceland journey, this is it, we finally made it to day 15! It was an incredible trip from start to finish, and our last full day in Iceland did not disappoint.
Chipotle Chicken Mexican Street Corn Salad
My favorite part about the last hurrah of summer is when tomato and corn season finally collide. We’re a little behind everyone else seasonally here, which means local corn just showed up last week!
Homemade Honey Lavender Lip Balm
I love making lip balms because they’re the perfect balance between a chapstick and a lip gloss. Don’t get me wrong there’s definitely a place and use for all 3, but lip balms are my most used lip product.
Breakfast Salad with Everything Bagel Seasoning Dressing
Savory breakfasts don’t come natural to me, much less eating a full blown salad first thing in the morning. I grew up like most people I know eating muffins, pancakes, waffles and the like for breakfast, and always craving sweets.
Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice cream treats are one of the best parts of summer. Not that I restrict ice cream to warmer months or anything, after all we live in Montana where we often have what seems like 8 months of winter. So we’re ice cream fanatics year round in this house, however icy treats in the summer are pretty much mandatory!
