Lemon Butter Chicken

these chicken thighs carry quite a bit of punch with that fresh, zingy lemon flavor and that smoky goodness from the paprika. And this cream sauce is absolutely heavenly. Just be sure to have a spoon ready because you’ll want to sip on it straight from the pan.Source

Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato

This latest semi french fry is sort of blowing my mind. So crispy and loaded with yummy garlic and Italian flavors. I could never turn down garlic and cheese. On french fries nonetheless.Source

Grilled Chicken Drumsticks

Grilled Chicken Drumsticks with Coffee Spice Rub : I have tried different kinds of coffee since, but it’s the cappucino style that I enjoy most. My coffee has to be strong, sweet (the ‘three sugar please’ line always gets me stares here), rich and full bodied. The caffeine has to hit my senses and awaken it.Source

Skinny Sparkling Blueberry Mojito

A fruity, summer staple just got made over! Skinny Sparkling Blueberry Mojito is fruity, minty and super refreshing when made with a homemade blueberry simple syrup and topped with sparkling water!Source

Cherry Limeade

Blue Raspberry Lemonade Jello Slush

This Blue Raspberry Lemonade Jello Slush isn’t alcoholic in nature. It’s perfect for both children and adults and provides cool refreshment on the hottest of days! Source

Chive Smashed Potatoes

This is a great way to cook potatoes! Boil them first, then smash them on a sheet pan, and finally roast them at a high temperature. You end up with tender creamy insides and lots of crispy edges. Grated Parmesan and fresh chives on top make them even better.Source

Doritos Taco Salad

If you’re worried you will be unable to stop eating them if you open a large bag of Doritos (like I was), they sell 6-packs of 1 oz bags. Use four for the recipe and then you’ll just have two individual, pre-portioned servings to eat later!Source

Creamy Banana Pudding

Who can resist the classic, cool, creamy concoction of banana pudding and vanilla wafers? I’ll admit that I usually much prefer chocolate desserts, but this banana pudding trifle has nearly convinced me to change my mind. Not only does it make you feel like a rockstar for making banana pudding from scratch, but it is such a refreshing, delicious, crowd-pleasing dessert, that all the extra work (which really isn’t hard at all!) is worth it.Source

Loaded Baked Potato

I really wanted to call these rounds of potatoes, Chips. I know they aren’t chips-chips because the potatoes are not crunchy, but they look like chips. And if I ever had to tell you what my favorite potato chip flavor was, I would say Loaded Baked Potato Chips.Source

Strawberry Poppyseed and Bacon Chopped Salad

The dinner you want to make at the end of a long hard day. So tasty, healthy, and ready to eat in fifteen minutes, you can’t beat that.Source

Buttermilk Banana Blueberry Bread

A great way to use up those lingering, spotty bananas, and the perfect holiday gift that everyone will love!Source

Kale

The popularity of this nutrient-packed leafy green has skyrocketed, prompting health and fitness websites, individuals, programs, nutritionists, and beginning gardeners, like myself, to take note and incorporate it as often as possible. Eating unprocessed vegetables in general can do wonders for your health and overall well-being by improving and preventing illness and disease. Kale, however, takes the (butter-less, sugar-less, superfood packed, vegan, organic, artificial flavor-less, GMO-less) cake.Source
