Stuffed Bell Peppers
Happy Summer! I hope you are enjoying your summer and getting some sunshine! Last week Melissa’s Produce sent over some fresh summer fruit and vegetables and they had the most gorgeous red bell peppers that were calling my name to make some stuffed peppers! I have to admit I haven’t made stuffed bell peppers before! I have always wanted to and found this easy recipe off Food Network and made some adjustments which I have included. Bell peppers are low in calories and exceptionally rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, making them an excellent addition to a healthy diet.

Tasty Mongolian Beef in Ginger Garlic Sauce
My husband has wanted to try making Mongolian Beef at home for like the past 20 years. No joke! He usually orders this when we eat out but we have yet to venture trying to make it at home. That is until the other night we decided to give it a shot. To say it is super easy is an understatement! We found this yummy recipe on Spend with Pennies.com. Homemade meals always taste better. And the fresh ginger and garlic sauce is amazing over white rice. This just might turn into your favorite go-to Chinese dish! We paired it with some steamed broccoli but just about any…

The Perfect Meal :: Warm Salmon Nicoise Salad
One of my favorite meals is a Nicoise salad because it has a great combination of goodies – great sources of protein – canned tuna and eggs, greens, olives and much more! When my husband offered to make me this salmon version I was super excited! In my opinion this is the perfect meal – especially on a warm summer day! The recipe we found on The Wok of Life is really easy and took like 10 minutes to prepare (minus grilling of course) but overall, a very nutritious meal with very little prep work. Enjoy!

A Real Crowd Pleaser :: Raspberry Cream Cheese Dip
Thank you Breton for sponsoring this post. Make everyday entertaining better with Breton! I don’t know about you but with this ridiculous heat wave we are having in Southern California, the idea of cooking in a hot kitchen does not really sound that appealing! Granted, not everyone’s AC is broken (sigh) but I wanted to create something yummy for the family to enjoy on this hot summer night. We were asked to create a delicious recipe centered around the Breton Artisanal Cranberry and Ancient Grains crackers which, truthfully, taste amazing just by themselves! In fact, when I was preparing this recipe, my daughter came into the kitchen and asked…
