It's starting to warm up and soon the kids will be out of school. Summer is right around the corner and that means its time to fire up the grill!

Burgers are my absolute favorite, so I've rounded up 10 plus burgers to grill this summer! 1./ Southwest Chipotle Burger // I love avocado so I am all over this delicious looking burger! 2./ Chicken Fajita Cheeseburger // It's like two meals in one, all done on the grill! 3./ Caprese Burger // Fresh Mozzarella and basil fill this burger with flavor! 4./ Brew Burger // If the name doesn't get you, the picture of that cheese will! 5./ … [Read more...]

DIY Jalapeno-Habanero Hot Sauce
Sometimes things just happen for a reason. Do you believe that? Me too. This year I planted 3 jalapeno plants in my garden. I love jalapenos in so many ways – pickled, stuffed and grilled, chopped in a salsa or just sprinkled on food. I love spicy. Well, imagine my surprise when one of those jalapeno plants turned out to be something different.. A habanero plant. These are the bad boys of the pepper world – seriously HOT. Meant to be eaten with quite a bit of measure, and really not enjoyable stuffed or grilled – unless you like pain. So, what to do? I certainly didn’t want to waste them. It struck me! Hot Sauce! Why not make my own hot sauce? [sc:adsense ] Turns out hot sauce is easy to make and easy to customize, flexible with the peppers you have grown or … [Read more...]

Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls Recipe – EASY and perfect for Easter Dinner
Are you planning a special meal? There’s nothing better than homemade rolls on the table. While the idea of making your own can seem daunting – this easy recipe will make even a beginner look like a master baker. I discovered this recipe while looking for a good wholesome option for my kid’s lunches. I am trying to get away from processed foods for our family as much as possible. Making rolls on a Sunday afternoon is easy and has little hands-on time. The majority of time is spent waiting for the dough to rise. Unlike “cooking”, baking is a science and you do have to be pretty close to the directions. Warm milk to activate the yeast and sugar to feed it. This recipe also calls for having your ingredients at room temperature – If like me you keep your whole wheat flour in the fridge … [Read more...]
