• Pandemic planning has my house full of random ingredients! Anyone else suffering from ingredient overload? I can't explain it, we don't have a lot of the essentials, but I have eight boxes of cake mix (some would call that essential) and most recently 3 bags of cilantro. What do you do with extra cilantro? You make Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken and it's the epitome of summer on the plate. It's so fresh and addictive! A definitely must make! #cilantrolimechicken #grilledchickenbreast #cilantrogrilledchicken #limechicken

    Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken

    Who's ready for chicken, like really REALLY good chicken? With all this extra cooking at home, I seem to have an abundance of random ingredients. I think I've counted eight cake mixes, four containers of mayo, multiple bags of red pepper flakes (which will last forever in this house) and most recently three packages of cilantro, what is that? So, out of an overload of the flavourful green leaves, comes Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken.

    Greek Chicken Shish Kebabs

    If you've been following along, you know I'm in love with my grill this summer. But did you know my favourite summer dish is Greek Chicken Shish Kebabs? We didn't grow up making shish kebabs, it just wasn't my parent's thing. My dad grills steak and burgers. I'm not sure a piece of chicken has ever graced his barbecue, I'm probably wrong, but I don't remember any grilled chicken in my childhood.

    Creamy Sweet Dill Coleslaw

    I grew up in a family that always serves salads at any meal. I can remember my aunt making a dill dressing for a plain old lettuce salad that took the salad from totally boring to amazing. So amazing, in fact, I chose this over the fresh from the oven buns. Shocking, I know! There's something about dill in a salad that gets me every time.

    Slow Cooker Brined Pulled Pork

    Do you clean your fridge out before a trip and then come home to bare cupboards? Me too! We just got back from a trip to Canada. Four flights and 16 hours of driving for a surprise birthday party. It was the best, the party not the travel! But, we came home to an empty refrigerator and I refuse to grocery shop at midnight. So I figured it would be grilled cheese sandwiches for the next day's dinner. Bread and cheese are staples we always have on hand, except for yesterday. I guess in my pre-travel excitement I forgot to pick up…
