High Protein Mac-n-Cheese
Since about mid-December we’ve been focusing on eating more protein. I wouldn’t say we’re dieting per say, at least it certainly doesn’t seem like we’re dieting when I eat the food that we’re eating. But we’re being more intentional about eating more protein and less carbs. Not “no” carbs, I don’t do well when things…
Strawberry Balsamic Sherbet
I’m super excited for strawberry season next year. And the reason is that I planted a 4×12’ garden full of strawberries. A 4×4 section of that is June bearing and the remaining sections are planted in ever bearing strawberries. I’m hoping that this gives us some strawberries throughout the summer along with some big harvests…
Tomatillo Chicken Tostadas
I’ve been in a bit of a rut for new and exciting dinner ideas, mainly due to time. It’s the middle of spring, I’ve been spending a lot of time in my garden planting, in the yard weeding, clearly branches that fell in the winter, and taking a weekend trip to Ely to put out…
Hash Brown Crusted Halibut with Mango Salsa

Buffalo Chicken Salad with Buttermilk Ranch
I’m kind of over buffalo wings. Not chicken wings – still love those! But there are so many diverse sauces and dry rubs on menus today that there seems to be a much higher opportunity cost to choosing the classic buffalo variety. But buffalo flavor. Definitely not over that! Today, I am sharing a recipe…
Sriracha Honey Sauce
I remember as a young kid getting fast food chicken nuggets and honey to dip them in. What a sticky, sweet, finger-licking, delicious mess. I’m sure my parents loved making sure we cleaned the honey off Tory & my fingers, face, and wherever else it ended up. So it seemed only natural that I come…
