Judi made this recipe for Super Bowl Sunday and, before she could take a picture, half of the dish was already gone–it's that good. You could easily substitute some or all ground turkey in here, if that's what you prefer. Either way, it is a hearty, "light" version that will satisfy your whole family's appetite.
Who doesn't love the sound of the sizzling fajitas, the onion/pepper aroma filling the air? This slow-cooker recipe, from 100 Days of Real Food, makes up for the lack of sizzle with big flavors and the convenience of a crockpot. The spice rub, peppers, and onions join together to make a mouth-watering dinner the whole […]
Although my kids are pretty picky when it comes to certain things, they both like bold flavors and different spices. Indian food is a popular choice in my house and cooking this Curried Chicken with the veges makes it an easy & delicious Sunday supper.

My kids’ favorite part of a sloppy joes dinner is the sloppiness. They love that not only can they get messy, it’s almost expected. After all, how on earth can you eat this without making a bit of a mess. It’s an easy dinner for a weeknight and I especially like making it in the […]
White Chicken Enchiladas Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo and we love celebrating with our own Mexican feast of chicken enchiladas. You can find a lot of enchilada recipes out there and you can probably even find some that are a little easier. However, you will not find one that is more delicious than this recipe […]
I don’t know about you, but my kids love anything PASTA! I think this may be a great base recipe – add chicken, switch out spinach for broccoli etc. I hope this is a winner in your household! Check out www.tasteofhome.com and search recipes by “Easy” or “Potluck”! (recipe and photo from Taste of Home) Ingredients: 4 ounces […]
Grilled cheese and tomato soup are, for me, the ultimate comfort food. Whenever I was home from school sick, my mom would make this classic pairing for lunch and it had a way of making me feel better in a way that nothing else could. Today, I make it for my own children when they’re […]
As much as I love the idea of a garden, I don’t feel that I have the greenest thumb and many of the things I plant don’t seem to survive. However, I have found that there are certain vegetables I can plant and almost guarantee a good harvest. Besides tomatoes, zucchini and basil are two […]
I’m always looking for a new and delicious chicken recipe as it is one food that just about everyone enjoys. I love this recipe for Spiced Picnic Chicken and have made it a few times with a great response from my whole family. Because we are not all fans of super-spicy food, I reduced the […]
We’re always looking for interesting chicken dishes as it is often the one protein that we can all agree on. Since it looks like Spring is finally here (that early April snow threw us for a loop!), I want to make a meal that celebrates the season. To me, asparagus screams springtime so I love […]
Whoever came up with the idea for sliders is a genius. Small burgers work as the perfect kids-size portion or fun appetizers for adults. Like any other burger, make sure you have a variety of toppings for everyone to customize their burgers to their liking. Serve with these Baked Potato Wedges or your favorite fries. […]
Broiling is a really easy yet underrated cooking method in home kitchens. Broiled chicken is our go-to dinner when we need a quick, delicious weeknight meal but I love broiled fish. Salmon is one of the few fish that my kids really enjoy and this dish, from Bon Appetit, creates a yummy caramelization that takes […]

It’s also a really fun thing to make with your kids. This recipe, from Serious Eats, makes the must delicious and simple dinner that your entire family will […]
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday and, while we don’t personally celebrate the holiday, our best friends always invite us to their house to join in their festivities. I always like to bring a dish to share during the celebratory meal. Since there’s always plenty of meat dishes, I prefer to provide a hearty vegetarian entree and […]
Cacio e Pepe translates from Italian to “cheese and pepper” and, as simple as that name is, the dish is even simpler. Some people call it an Italian version of mac and cheese but it’s much more refined than that. With toasted pepper and plenty of butter and cheese, this version, from Bon Appetit, is […]
If you’ve been reading our Sunday Suppers for awhile now, you’ll know that I love my slow cooker for easy, “set it and forget it” meals any day of the week. But, the only thing easier than my crockpot is a one-pot meal, like this Chili Mac & Cheese, from Damn Delicious. Just like a […]
An avocado-based sauce is a great way to make a creamy pasta sauce without using any dairy. In addition to being dairy-free, it’s an easy way to incorporate greens without the kids really knowing what they are eating. I’ve adapted this version, from PureWow, by throwing a handful of whatever greens I have on hand–baby […]
The first time I made this Asian Quinoa Salad was for a dinner party I was invited to at the last minute. Not having time to get to the store to buy anything, I checked my pantry and realized I had all the ingredients to make it (that never happens, even when I plan!). I […]
“Skinny” Alfredo sauce seems almost blasphemous. After all, it’s the heavy creaminess that makes this sauce so delicious, right? Well, I was pleasantly surprised how good the sauce still is when you lighten it up and you don’t feel quite as heavy, too. This recipe, from Gimme Some Oven, is an easy and delicious version […]
Does anything conjure up the image of a big Sunday supper more than spaghetti and meatballs? A large, loud family sitting around the table, passing large bowls of saucy pasta, garlic bread, and salad, talking & laughing about life is the ideal way to end a weekend and kick off a new week. This version, […]
