About once a year, my family heads down to Florida for a few weeks of vacation. 

One of the surprising things that I look forward to most during these trips is heading to the local Publix (a store we don’t have in Ohio) and grabbing the cranberry chicken salad from the deli.

Every year, I text Stephie that we need to remake it for the blog because I cannot get enough of it. This year, we finally made it happen.

Because the beauty of making things at home is that you can tweak them to exactly your liking, I made a couple of changes to the version I get at Publix. But I’m every bit as obsessed with this version – and even better, I don’t have to wait a whole year until our next Florida trip to enjoy it!

I know that this is primarily a baking site, but I still love sharing savory recipes with you all from time to time.

After all, we can’t survive on cheesecake alone, as much as I wish we could. 

Summer is one time of year when I really love to dig into savory recipes. Simple grilling recipes, appetizers, and especially easy summer salads are things I love to make at home, so of course I want to share them with my readers!

This watermelon feta salad is one recipe that I’m really looking forward to making all summer long and I think you’ll feel the same way.

Shrimp is one of my favorite foods. Honestly, I would choose it over a steak any day of the week.

Creamy pesto pasta with shrimp is one of my favorite date-night-in meals and it’s pretty hard to beat grilled garlic basil shrimp. And lately, all I can think about are these easy shrimp tacos.

If there’s one thing that the world has tried to tell us, it’s that grilling is for Dads and Dads only. But I am here to tell you that anyone can grill up a fantastic dinner.

So if you’ve been intimidated by firing up the grill before, set aside your nerves and give it a try! You can even dip your toe into the grilling waters by trying out a grill pan indoors before you head to the backyard with a gas or charcoal grill.

After all, wouldn’t it be fun to celebrate Dad this Father’s Day by making him a delicious dinner on the grill? These grilled pork chops are a great starting point – they’re super flavorful, juicy, and easy to make!

It’s nearly strawberry season around here and I couldn’t be more excited. Soon, the farmer’s market will be full of fresh strawberries and the u-pick farms will be open.

My step-mom and I have loved taking Elle strawberry picking in the past, and soon the baby will be big enough to go, too. I can’t wait to have our fridge overflowing with fresh, perfectly ripe berries for turning into everything from strawberry lemonade to fresh strawberry pie to this strawberry salad. 

This is the kind of salad I could eat every day of the week and not get tired of it. It’s got so many great flavors and it’s as easy as can be to make!

I really love a good poppy seed dressing. 

Look, I know it’s not a “cool” salad dressing like green goddess dressing. Poppy seed dressing belongs on an old-school steakhouse menu, probably right next to the ranch dressing and blue cheese dressing on the salad bar. 

But maybe that’s why I like it so much. It’s an old-fashioned classic, but it’s still absolutely delicious. And it’s super easy to make, so you will never need to buy a bottle of it again!

We love one-pot dinners around here. There’s nothing better than minimal cleanup and having a meal that my family will happily gobble up.

One-pot spaghetti and one-pot beef stroganoff are big hits around here. I wanted to add to my list of one-pot dinners with something around chicken and orzo (one of my favorite little pasta shapes) and this one-pot lemon chicken and orzo was born.

Between the chicken, the orzo, and the spinach and tomatoes, this is truly a full meal in one pan. Talk about a weeknight dinner win!

I love finding new ways to use my homemade bisquick mix. It’s one of my very favorite kitchen staples to keep on hand, and it makes so many recipes so quick and easy.

Recipes like apple cobbler and impossible coconut pie are staples for us, since I can toss them together in almost no time. And with our packed schedule these days, fast is necessary. 

These 7UP biscuits are yet another easy bisquick recipe. They have an unusual mix of ingredients that turns into super fluffy, buttery, tender biscuits that you’ll want to eat for every meal of the day.

It’s slider time!

Our family is a BIG fan of sliders. The love affair started with ham and cheese sliders, and since then we’ve only gotten more obsessed as we’ve added cheeseburger sliders, roast beef sliders, and more to our dinner rotation.

They’re easy to make, which makes me happy, and my family will gladly eat them. Which makes me even happier.

Chicken parmesan sliders are our latest favorite. They’re crispy, cheesy, and easy enough to make on a weeknight.

I am a big fan of easy dinner recipes.

With two young kids, I need all the help I can get when it comes to getting dinner on the table. And often that help is my slow cooker.

From crockpot taco soup and crockpot mississippi pot roast to easy crockpot pulled pork, I love being able to “set it and forget it” until it’s time to eat. 

Spaghetti is always a hit around here, so this crockpot spaghetti sauce is my new favorite weeknight dinner recipe. Sometimes I will even make a double batch so we can eat some right away and freeze the rest for later.
