3 things: This is citrus herb marinated grilled chicken. I think you guys should be friends! I might have a first grader (?!?!!!) who heads back to school tomorrow, and we did beach-plus-Dairy-Queen last night in a way that felt a little like goodbye, but SUMMER IS NOT OVER and bright citrus-y chicken with a…
Weeknight Dinners
Honey BBQ Pork Chops.
Quick weeknight dinner, anyone? I got yer honey bbq pork chops right here! These guys cook up lovely and brown in the pan and then get smothered in a super-quick, sweet and tangy bbq sauce. They have a ton of flavor and stay super juicy inside, and look how shiny and glossy they are! 😍 Don’t…

We’re trying to plan ahead for quality family time since Jay’s schedule gets a little crazy this time of year, and we decided that Wednesdays we’ll do an…
Simple Basil Marinara Sauce.
I’m successfully growing basil! (By this I mean I haven’t killed the lone basil plant I bought a few weeks ago. Because my mom waters it for me.) I needed to cut it back a bit, and it was the perfect excuse to make a batch of this simple basil marinara sauce. It’s just a…
One-Pan Chicken Fajitas.
I hope your Cinco de Mayo involves a Mexican restaurant and enough chips + salsa + queso to make your jaw ache and your actual meal unnecessary. But if you’re cooking a Mexican feast at home – or you just need an easy weeknight meal – these chicken fajitas are for you, since you…
Quick & Easy Pan-Seared Chicken.
I’m a meal planner, but I’ve tried and failed to be a meal prepper – taking a chunk of time on the weekend to chop veggies, cook a couple things, and set myself up for success during the week. (If you want to be inspired to do this, check out Shutterbean’s meal prep posts.) Mostly…
