Crock Pot Barbecue Pineapple Chicken

I have to admit a little secret right now... I LOVE Sweet Baby Ray's. Seriously, I could drink the stuff. I've yet to find a barbecue sauce that comes even remotely close to this heavenly stuff. Have I scared you off yet? I hope not because this barbecue pineapple chicken, made with our Sweet Baby Ray's, is amazing. Not only is it one of the easiest recipes I've ever tried, it is chuck full of flavor! Perfect to put over rice, or you could even made a shredded chicken sandwich out of it. My husband loved it and I know we will be making it many more times on those days we need a quick, easy recipe.

Honey Lime Chicken Kabobs

For nearly the entire summer, our dinners are made on the BBQ. We love spending our summer evenings outside, and dinner seems to be ready in a flash while the kids are happily playing in the yard. :) This is a random creation that we came up with last week, and it's now been declared a favorite. The flavor is sweet with a little kick (thanks to the red pepper) and it's lip-smacking delicious. Two thumbs up across the board, even from the kids.

Meatloaf Muffins


One of my children's favorite meals lately is meatloaf. I make it, and they aren't quite sure of it and then I remind them that it's one of their favorite dishes. Then they try it and sing my praises. It's kind of awesome. But making the traditional meatloaf all the time gets a little old so to mix it up, I make meatloaf muffins. To be honest, the name kind of grosses me out. I think muffins is such a breakfast term. But the name stays. The kiddos love it and it's kind of catchy. :)

  4. Mix ketchup and BBQ sauce in a small bowl. Place a little bit on top of each meatloaf muffin and spread around.

Teriyaki Rice Bowls (Rumbi Copycat)

For awhile now I've been on the lookout for a good rice bowl recipe. We've tried a few - and none have really done it for us. They were all missing that "spark." That was until we found this recipe.

These rice bowls, meant to taste like the Rumbi Hawaiian Restaurant rice bowls here in Utah, definitely have that spark we've been on the search for! Not only did I have most of the ingredients on-hand, but it was an easy recipe that everyone loved. Don't be scared away by the list of ingredients. Once you have all the vegetables cut up and the chicken cooked, the rest is a breeze. (Oh and I dare you not to eat all the rice before it's meal time. Best rice I've had in a long, long time!)

Tin Foil Citrus Chicken

Grilling season is my favorite! Although the weather has been hit or miss here (Colorado), we've caught a couple really great nights that make for fun dinners. Secretly, grilling is my favorite because my husband does all the work while I work on side dishes. :)

This is a lightly flavored chicken that is perfect for a warm day. And it's named citrus chicken, but that doesn't mean it tastes all lemon and lime-y. It's a subtle taste that will leave you satisfied and it would be great cut up for a salad too.

Chicken Fajitas

Mexican food and I have a loving relationship. It seems like no matter what Mexican dish I create lately turns out awesome - which is such a confidence booster for my cooking skills! So when I was craving fajitas the other day and came across this recipe, I pretty much knew I had to try it... that very night. Let me tell you - it did not disappoint. As I mentioned below, the recipe makes about 6 servings and with just me and the hubby - we still ate it all in about 2 days. (Makes awesome leftovers by the way!) Super delicious. Super quick and easy. And even after eating it all, I'm still craving more.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

I've told you about our weekend ritual of having pizza on one of the weekend nights. It's something my kids look forward to every week and it provides us all with some much needed downtime. Though I love the Cauliflower Pizza Crust, changing things up is a good thing too. That's why I'm so happy I stumbled across this whole wheat pizza dough. It's amazing and sooooo filling. It's my go-to pizza dough and my kids love it too!

*As you're making this, keep in mind, I live in high altitude so you may not require as much flour. You can remedy that by adding more water to the mixture, or cutting down the flour to start. I would recommend adding more water. You can do it slowly and once the mixture makes a ball, you'll be good.*


Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
MAKES 2 MEDIUM PIZZAS (I usually double the recipe and get 3 big pizzas out of it)
PREP: 10 minutes         RISE: 70 minutes          READY IN: 80 minutes + 15-20 minutes cook time


  SIMPLE         HEALTHY      YUM
pic name       pic name      pic name

INGREDIENTS


  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour 
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons dry instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey

DIRECTIONS


  1. In a mixer, with a flat beater, combine flour, yeast and salt. 
  2. Add 1/2 cup water, olive oil and honey to the mixture.  
  3. On the mixer, switch out the flat beater for the dough hook. 
  4. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water (and more, if needed). You will know when the dough is ready if all the dough balls up around the dough hook, away from the sides of the bowl, and when you raise the hook, the dough stays on it.
  5. Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic (about 3 minutes).
  6. Place back in the mixing bowl, and let rise for about an hour, or until it's doubled in size.
  7. Cut dough into 2 (or 4 if you want personal size), and knead into small balls. Let rise for another 10 minutes.
  8. At this point, either start prepping your pizza, or freeze dough for later use.
  9. If you're making your pizza now, top with sauce and toppings and place in the oven at 350º and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Salsa Chicken Casserole


When trying to eat healthy - I usually try to steer clear of the word "casserole." With it usually comes loads of calories and fat - usually. But this particular casserole doesn't have loads of those things in it - just loads of awesome! I pinned this recipe years ago - saving it... and then forgetting about it. But after making it last weekend (and then again last night for dinner!), I'm pretty sure it is going to become a regular in our household.

I made it a little differently than the original recipe does because I wanted shredded chicken instead of the whole chicken option - but either way it worked, and tasted awesome!

  3. Add in spices and mix thoroughly.

Dijon Chicken Salad


This is one of those dishes that I came across online and just HAD to make. This is the perfect make-ahead salad to pack in your lunches for the week, or just for a healthy weeknight dinner.

A little warning, it's a little time consuming with the different steps to prepare, but if you buy pre-grilled chicken and pre-roasted peppers that will save you a lot of time. If you have time to make it by scratch you wont be disappointed! I fed this to my 10-month-old and he loved it! I ended up not adding all the dressing to the salad but I did just enough to coat it and get the flavor.

PREP: 20 minutes           COOK: 30 minutes            READY IN: 50 minutes


  SIMPLE         HEALTHY      YUM
pic name       pic name      pic name

INGREDIENTS


  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 1 quart fat free, low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or 2 fresh garlic cloves, finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds or sliced raw almonds (optional)
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 bunch asparagus, roasted and diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 large bell peppers, roasted (or store bought works great too)
  • salt and pepper to taste
Dressing:
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS


  1. To roast your peppers preheat oven to 450º. On a lined baking sheet, spray with coconut oil. Cut peppers into quarters and place skin-side up. Bake peppers for 15-20 minutes, or until the skin begins to blacken (its okay if its black--that's what you want). Once peppers are done transfer them to either a ziploc back or a covered bowl to allow them to steam. 
  2. While peppers are roasting, mix asparagus with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. When peppers have about 10 minutes left, throw asparagus on the baking sheet. Allow them to roast 5-10 minutes (depending on the thickness of asparagus). Allow asparagus to cool before chopping. 
  3. For the salad add chicken broth and bay leaves in a large skillet with a lid and allow it to come to a simmer. 
  4. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and bring broth to a boil. Cover pot. Allow chicken to cook for 15-20 minutes, depending on size of chicken. 
  5. While chicken is cooking you can prepare the other salad ingredients. Chop garlic, onion, asparagus, basil and parsley and place them in a large bowl.
  6. Take your peppers out of the bowl, or whatever you placed it in, and remove the skin. They should just slide right off. Chop peppers and add them to the salad mixture. 
  7. Once chicken is cooked, shred it into bite size pieces and add it to your salad. 
  8. To make the dressing, add all ingredients to a blender until combined. Add dressing to your salad and toss to combine.

Crockpot Beef Brisket

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it here, but my husband is quite the chef. He's the type that can quickly take a gander of everything in the kitchen and whip up a seemingly effortless dish that tastes phenomenal. He doesn't measure anything, and goes strictly with his gut instincts. And more often than not, he comes to the table with an amazingly flavorful dish that leaves me asking, "What was in that...??" And he usually says, "A little bit of this, and a little bit of that." Which makes it so hard for me to replicate! If there's one thing he's has taught me in the kitchen, it's when it comes to cooking, there's a lot of leeway. I bring you one of my husband's wonderful recipes (with measurements!) that will leave you and your man happy at the dinner table. Oh, and let's not forget about the kiddos, they gobbled this up too!

  3. Rub the mesquite seasoning on the top of the brisket (the part that is exposed, and not submerged in the marinade).
  4. Marinate the brisket overnight.
  5. In the morning, turn on the crockpot to low, place the brisket in the crockpot and discard the marinade, and slow cook the brisket for 8 hours.

It turns out that apples are good for more than just eating with peanut butter! They added great flavor to the chicken and was a good mixture with the onions.

Greek Yogurt Crispy Chicken

Let me start off by saying 1. this recipe only has 4 ingredients (that are common household ingredients) and 2. Its under 300 calories. I don't even need to go on, that right there makes this dish a winner.

I've had the usual baked chicken with either ranch or cream of chicken soup and cheese but those just aren't helping my body get swimsuit ready, so I made my own version and it is nothing short of delicious! Sometimes I like to think I'm on chopped and have to combine what little ingredients I have to make a delicious meal, which resulted in my greek yogurt chicken dish. I think the thing that makes this dish is the multi-grain tortilla chip coating. Have you tried those? We love them and they are SO much better for you than regular chips or crackers. It made the perfect crispy and healthier crust that I was looking for.

  2. Mix Greek yogurt and ranch mix together.  
  3. Cover both sides of chicken with yogurt and ranch combination. 
  4. Place chicken in crushed tortillas and cover both sides. 
  5. In a greased baking dish, cook chicken in oven for 30 minutes (if thawed) or 45 minutes to 1 hour (if frozen) depending on the thickness of chicken breast.
