Ground Beef and Black Bean Chili

August 4, 2015 by Elle 2 Comments

IMG_4241** copy

Max and I recently went on vacation in California with his family at their time share. It was a much needed vacation. My favorite part was not working! We kept pretty busy doing lots of fun stuff like going to the beach, swimming, going to the farmers market, playing tennis and just spending lots of time with family. Before we even left on vacation I volunteered to make dinner for everyone one night. I wanted to make something that I thought everyone would enjoy. I decided to make chili! It turned out really great and luckily everyone enjoyed it. It’s delicious served with cheese on top and a corn muffin on the side. It was a pretty large crowd so I made a triple batch. Apparently I don’t know how to estimate that kind of stuff because we had a good amount of leftovers. We found some really cool ways to use them the next two days. For lunch the next day we made chilidogs. Delicious! And then the next day we made quesadillas with the chili. Also delicious! Some people even made a taco salad with chips crumbled on top. This chili is my new favorite thing.

Mashed Avocado and Bacon Burger

July 2, 2015 by Elle 2 Comments

Mashed Avocado and Bacon Burger

Sometimes I just crave a good hamburger and nothing else will do. I LOVE this burger. I got the inspiration from my aunt Becky. She made these delicious burgers for everyone on Memorial Day and she told me there were bits of bacon crumbled up in the meat. I just about died when I heard that. She also put slices of avocado on top, but I prefer mashed avocado. So here is my take on this delicious burger.

Greek Chicken with Tzatziki Sauce

June 23, 2015 by Elle 2 Comments

Greek Chicken with Tzatziki Sauce

Max and I like to get Greek food all the time. We always go to the same restaurant. One time we were eating Greek with Max’s parents and his mom asked me if I’ve ever tried making Greek chicken. I realized I hadn’t and that was just a shame because as I’ve come to find out it’s actually pretty easy and extremely tasty too! And the tzatziki sauce that goes with it is just the best! I love to eat this Greek chicken and tzatziki sauce with a simple side salad and some rice. Mmmm it is so satisfying and flavorful!

Tomato and Mozzarella Pesto Pasta

June 18, 2015 by Elle 4 Comments

Tomato and Mozzarella Pesto Pasta
I honestly can’t think of a better way to use pesto. This just might be one of my favorite recipes involving pesto ever. This is one of those recipes where there are usually never any leftovers. And if there happens to be a little bit of leftovers, they are pretty much gone as I am trying to put the last bit into Tupperware. I find myself constantly sneaking a bite or two because I just can’t stop eating the stuff!

Funny story about this pasta… I love tomatoes and Max is ok with them, but he really hates the seeds in the middle. So he fishes out every tomato and squeezes out the seeds and then he will proceed to eat the pasta. Cracks me up.

Caprese Grilled Cheese

June 11, 2015 by Elle Leave a Comment

Caprese Grilled CheeseWho doesn’t love a good grilled cheese?! I remember eating grilled cheese all the time as a kid. My dad would make it for my brothers and me but he had his own way of doing it. My crazy dad would sprinkle sugar on the cooked grilled cheese.  Of course we LOVED it! Our baby sitters thought we were all sugar-crazed lying little kids when we told them our dad put sugar on our grilled cheese sandwiches. We could never get them to put sugar on them like our dad would.  This is my favorite spin on a classic grilled cheese (minus the sugar). Oh my goodness it is yummy! Especially the homemade pesto.

Fresh and Easy Quiche

May 14, 2015 by Max Leave a Comment

Quiche

I feel like quiche is so versatile. I could eat it any time of day. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. To me, quiche and a side salad for lunch sounds just as lovely as quiche with bacon for breakfast. There are so many other varieties you can make as well. This recipe happens to be my favorite basic quiche that I will usually make for breakfast. I love it with bacon. Did I mention I love bacon?
