This Off The Cob Mexican Street Corn is a super easy and tasty dish that is one of our new family favorites. It was so good when I made it that Josh asked me to write down the recipe so he could make it at the firestation. That is high praise in our family because not every meal or recipe we make at home are ones that he would want to duplicate at work. We served this with smoked pork sandwiches and coleslaw but honestly it would be good with so many different flavor combinations. I even added the leftovers the next morning to roasted sweet potatoes, crumbled bacon, avocado, pork, and salsa for a breakfast bowl. I hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as we did. Ingredients 16 ounce bag frozen whole kernel corn2 tablespoon melted butter2 tablespoon mayonnaise1 lime juiced1/2 teaspoon paprika1 teaspoon blend of salt, pepper, garlic (I use this brand)4 green onions sliced 1/2 cup cotija cheese3-5 stems cilantro chopped fresh Directions Heat frozen corn … [Read more...]
Chicken Pot Pie
I am not sure how it is already December. This year has been a blur and also seemingly the longest year of my life. Oh 2020. We have been trucking along with homeschool and next week will have us finishing up our Saxon Math lessons for this semester. Lately I have found myself craving simple comfort food. And this Chicken Pot Pie recipe from my friend Kindal has been a weekly staple for the past two months. It is super easy to make, the ingredients are usually items I have on hand, and it just tastes so good every single time I make it. This has also become a go to meal for my daughter. There are several highlights that have really made my 2020 better and brighter and one of them is Fit Women's Weekly Live. Kindal and her husband Dan have been a huge part of my year with their live streaming home workouts. I am in better shape and it has been a huge stress reducer for me. These last 8 weeks I have been taking part in a nutrition challenge called Plan Smart Eat Real with … [Read more...]
Pita Jungle Lentil Burger Recipe
Today I am sharing a recipe from one of my favorite restaurants. Pita Jungle began emailing recipes off their menu several weeks ago. And I was so happy! So far I have three recipes from them in my inbox. And they are all recipes I have ordered multiple times off the menu. I was pretty happy to be able to have the chance to now recreate them at home. I figured Mother's Day would be a great day to make the lentil burgers. And they turned out so well! Even Josh who loves "real" hamburgers said these tasted good. That pretty much seals the deal right there if you are looking for an endorsement to make these. My husband loves hamburgers and if it is his turn to cook at the fire station one of the meals is likely to be burgers. Lentil Burger Recipe You don't need much to make these vegan and vegetarian friendly burgers. They are simple and can by made easily especially if you have an Instant Pot. The recipe that was emailed said that it would make 1-2 burgers. I am not sure … [Read more...]
Piña Colada Smoothie
This healthy piña colada smoothie is a refreshing treat. With added protein and healthy fats this will keep you fueled and hydrated on a hot summer day. I have been making this smoothie on repeat over the last few weeks. It has quickly become a family favorite and is now the only smoothie that our kids are requesting. I made them the Tropical Green Smoothie the other day and they took one sip and said "we want the white one". We have been trying to buy more products unflavored lately and adding stevia to sweeten, which is what I used for this smoothie. If you have vanilla flavored protein you can easily use that instead. INGREDIENTS: 1 scoop unflavored protein8-10 drops vanilla flavored liquid stevia½ frozen banana1 cup frozen pineapple½ cup coconut water½ cup full-fat canned coconut milk1 cup ice DIRECTIONS: Add ingredient to blender and blend until smooth and creamy. (We have a Vitamix Blender and love it!) This recipe makes enough for … [Read more...]
Egg Free Banana Muffins
I have been making these egg free banana muffins on repeat over the last several months. This is the best banana muffin recipe. Even if I was able to consume eggs without having horrible skin reactions this would still be my go to recipe for muffins. These are quick and easy to make. It should take you 30 minutes from when you start this recipe to when you are taking them out of the oven. My kids love them too and that also makes it a winner. Be prepared to use a large mixing bowl. This recipe makes a lot of muffins. I usually get 18 large muffins out of this recipe. I fill the tins to just below the top and put a 12 and 6 count muffin pan in the oven at the same time when baking. Ingredients 2 cups mashed ripe bananas3 cups flour1/2 cup white sugar1/4 cup brown sugar2 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon baking soda2 teaspoons cinnamon1/2 cup butter1 cup milk Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
