Grilled Honey Garlic Asian Chicken Kabobs

I love grilling, and these Kabobs are on of the best things to come off of the grill this Summer! The chicken marinates in a delicious concoction that is sweet and spicy with a little kick of ginger and garlic. Once grilled, they get basted with some more sauce boosting the flavor of these even more!

These are a family favorite! One of those "unicorn" meals that everyone loved and wanted more of!!

We love eating these with rice and broccoli, with some extra sweet and spicy sauce on the side and a little soy sauce for drizzling over the rice.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals. These wraps have become one of our family favorites. We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting. I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree. My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch. The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so. Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels, but...

Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Muffins

These have become one of my favorite muffins. I like the flavors of peanut butter and chocolate, so why not make a muffin out of it. We like to make these along side an omelet or scrambled eggs or just have them with a glass of milk, juice or a smoothie as you run out the door. I like using a nut butter to give the kids some extra protein as well. Feel free to use milk chocolate chips, mini chips or whatever makes you happy. An easy muffin, full of flavor and yummy goodness. Enjoy!
