You know what they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And what better way to make it fun and healthy then with breakfast nachos. These nachos aren’t just for breakfast they can be for lunch, dinner or a midnight snack. This recipe is a little different then my others, in that it has two parts. Don’t you fret it’s still super easy and super yummy, with very little guilt.

Since it’s been unseasonably warm the last few days and it seems like there is no sign of slowing down, I broke out the grill again. I love making grilled chicken, it’s so quick and easy and there are so many options. Take advantage of the remaining nice weather and get out and grill.

As Labor Day has just passed, many of us are still in the party and end of summer mood. This is a great side dish to accompany any meal. It makes a lot and is super quick and easy. This is sure to be a hit at a party or just to spice up a mundane weeknight dinner.

As the end of summer is coming and Labor Day weekend is approaching, parties seem to be in no short supply. If my grandmother taught me anything, it’s that you never go anywhere empty handed. Always bring something to a party, even if the host says it is not necessary. A nice bottle of wine, a desert or a dip. This chunky guacamole is the perfect thing to bring to any party this holiday weekend.

Coming from a very Italian family, pasta has always been my go to. This recipe is something my mother would always make growing up. It’s great on its own or wonderful as a side dish. This is something that doubles well and also reheats nicely.

One of my favorite things to make for dinner is breakfast. It’s quick, easy and usually pretty cheap. Last night for dinner I made a staple, French toast. My secret ingredient to making the best French toast is vanilla extract. It takes your French toast to a whole new level of savory and sweet. It’s something the whole family can enjoy.

If you’re anything like me, Moe’s and Chipotle is your go to fast food Mexican. I love getting the burrito and taco bowls from them. I’ve eaten them so much and I wanted to see if I could recreate it at home. This is perfect to make for a quick weeknight meal or fun party idea. You could even lay everything out and have people make their own.

Popcorns not just for movie night, it can be a great snack for whenever. However the prepackaged popcorn can be over loaded with butter and salt and a whole lot of unwanted fats. So if you’re looking for some crunch to snack on (with not guilt) look no further then this simple microwave popcorn.

Calling all lazy cooks out there, this recipe is for you. The only thing easier is cereal in my opinion, and this tastes a lot better. Zucchini is in perfect season right now it’s at farmers markets, road side stands and supermarkets galore. Be sure to snatch up a good one for this super easy side dish.
