Watermelon Margaritas

Happy Thursday, friends! This week has been all over the place. On Tuesday it felt like Monday and today it feels like Friday. What is going on?

Although the days are all blurring together we are this much closer to a long weekend! I had a change of plans and decided to stay in town instead of traveling to the beach this weekend. I could use some rest and some time to get some stuff done. Don't worry though, I'll still be enjoying my fair share of summer beverages and grilled food!

As promised, today I have for you a recipe which includes tequila!

So without further adieu, here are my light and refreshing summer margaritas. These babies would be perfect while hangin' poolside with some friends this weekend! Or ya know, doing whatever it is that you do! Just try these. They are a total winner!

Grilled Summer Peaches with a Maple Glaze

Can you believe the unofficial last day of summer is less than a week away? To me, summer ends after labor day. It's like, the last hoorah for any fun at the pool, cookouts, and of course, the beach!

I am more than likely heading somewhere with some cool refreshing water to play in, sun rays, beautiful weather and delicious food to grill! Not too shabby of a labor day and round up of summer if you ask me! What are your plans for labor day weekend?

No matter what your plans are you should check out the recipes I've created that would be great for whatever your Labor Day weekend holds!

Don't forget to check back later this week for another recipe to try. Psssstttt it may or may not have some tequila! You'll definitely want to come back for that one, I promise!

Grilled Chicken Sliders with a Classic Marinade

It is so gorgeous out today I can't stand it! Today, we have softball on the agenda and a family Sunday dinner later tonight. I absolutely love playing on days like today. Upper 70's with a cool breeze...it really doesn't get much better than that.

Not only is it the perfect day to get outside and play, but also to get outside and GRILL! I have a fun and versatile recipe to share with you today. Fire up the grill and invite some friends over! Don't forget to stock up on some refreshing summer beer's before the pumpkin flavors knock them off the shelf!  

Cheesy Taco Enchiladas

I have another quick and easy recipe for you guys today! I absolutely love Mexican style food and when I can convince the family to eat it, it is a win-win in my book! This recipe was one I came up with using a bunch of stuff from the fridge/pantry that needed to go. The corn was leftover, the taco sauce was from another recipe, half full sour cream dish that was getting close to expiration...you get the point.

Fortunately, for this super simple throw together recipe, it turned out really well! Everyone deemed this a keeper and although you need to prepare part of it a few hours or better yet, the night before, it is seriously such a cinch to get into the oven for a fast weeknight meal.

Quick and Easy Fruit Pies

I hope your having a wonderful weekend! It has been pretty wet and dare I say a little chilly in my neck of the woods this weekend, leaving me with plenty of time to have some fun in the kitchen!

I wanted to make something quick and easy that everyone would enjoy for a sweet treat tonight. My dad is a big fan of pies, but my mom is a chocolate (anything) fan...so I liked the idea of these handheld individual little pies. They are very versatile so pick whatever flavors and fillings you like!

Asian Lettuce Wraps with Carrot Slaw

Hi friends! How is your week going?

I can't wait to share this recipe with you today!

So, typically an Asian or Chinese dish is not one you would find me making or especially eating. For some reason I just don't enjoy oriental foods. Maybe I haven't had the right kind or I am ordering the wrong thing, but typically it is something I shy away from. Well, except for chicken wings from the China Chef II around the corner from my house. Weird right? Chicken wings from a Chinese restaurant. Seriously, if you have not tried them before...do it!!! Crazy good.

Anyways, the other day my dad offered to make us his favorite stir fry dish. Now, typically I am begging for any other dish he wants to make, but I can only win that battle every so often. So instead of fighting for another type of dish, I offered to make something that would fit all of our taste buds, watch our waistlines, and satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.

One Pan Cheesy Sausage Pasta

The other night I made this fabulous, quick dish from the oh-so-amazing Amanda at kevinandamanda.com. Her food is always so amazing and her pictures just make you want to dive through your computer screen and take a bite!

I made her spicy sausage pasta dish and it was not only super quick and easy as she promised, but so creamy and the perfect amount of heat throughout, thanks to a can of Ro-Tel! How easy is that?!

Here is my recipe for Amanda's dish, but just a tad lightened up!

Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers

Recently I was shopping at the local Harris Teeter and was in need of a quick dinner option. I was eyeing the meat case and saw a Jalapeno Cheddar Burger and knew that was it! When I got home I added a little S&P and grilled it up until it was a nice medium. Let me tell you, that was a damn good burger! I was shocked. I figured it would be just okay since it was pre-made, but man was it good. I knew I had to re-create it for myself!
