This is where I will post all the links of recipes we have tried and loved! Easy to access in one location!


Bars and Cookies


Bread and Muffins


Cakes and Cupcakes
Best Chocolate Sheet Cake - From The Pioneer Woman. The easiest chocolate cake you will ever make, with the gooiest frosting! YUM!!!
Elvis Presley's Favorite Pound Cake - I don't know if that is true, but it is certainly my favorite!


Main Dishes
Greek Turkey Meatballs - So perfect with a cucumber tomato salad and tzatziki sauce. Even Big M, my super picky eater, liked them! And they are full of grated zucchini! Bonus!
Korean Beef - Tastes like a Flame Broiler bowl, but you make it at home!
Grilled Balsamic-Garlic Crusted Pork Tenderloin - Another win and cooks on the grill , so no heating up the house!
Steak Ale Pie - My husband is from England, so this is straight up comfort food for him! I cook it in the crock pot and bake the puff pastry in single servings for plating! I also leave out the cheese
Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets - So tasty! The Parmesan cheese helps to add a lot of flavor!
Grilled Flank Steak With Tomatoes, Red Onion and Balsamic - Loved the tomato salad  on top, and you really could use this on any steak. Flank was hard for me to find a bit expensive for my taste. That being said, it made an amazing leftover sandwich with some crusty french bread!


Sauces and Seasonings
Skinny Tzatziki - Easy and delicious!
Wickedly Good Fish Taco Sauce - THE topping for fish tacos! I have used fish sticks or the tortilla crusted tilapia from Costco for a simple dinner.


Sides and Salads
Cucumber Tomato Salad - The perfect light summer side dish! I love it with Greek food. The perfect addition to a pita sandwich.
Loaded Baked Potato Salad - IMHO the best potato salad ever!

Snacks and Dips
Caramel Crispy Chex Mix - Seriously the easiest to make and the easiest to devour! It's all done in the microwave. The hardest part is waiting until it is cooled and set!
Chex Muddie Buddies aka Puppy Chow- An old favorite!
Baked Taco Dip - Yummy! Perfect for a potluck or a party!
Homemade Soft Pretzels - Perfect for a special after school street!
