We’re officially past the halfway mark of summer, as school start August 14th for us. I actually did a touch of back-to-school shopping last week and picked up a few outfits for each of the kids. While I may have some of the clothes shopping out of the way, there’s still much to be […]

Summer Harvest Picnic Loaf
Northern California is well known for it’s agricultural abundance, and I’m lucky enough to live in the middle of it all! Located only in Northern California are Nugget Markets, which connect with the many local farmers to bring us fresh produce and yummy eats. I’ve partnered with Nugget Markets to put together a picnic, while […]
Homemade Popsicles – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party 77
The summer of 2017 is shaping up to be ONE HOT SUMMER! I’m kind of over it….okay, I’m really over it. Fall can’t come soon enough, but I fear the heat has a couple more months left, at least. I can’t recall another summer with as many days in the 100s, as this summer. Two […]
Kid-Friendly Snacks – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party 76
Whether you’re already in back-to-school mode, or you’re just feeling the middle of summer angst of “what else can I feed my children,” we’ve got you covered. I’m somewhere in-between. This past week has been full of doctor checkups and 7th grade immunization boosters. However, I’ve also realized we haven’t taken the boat out once […]
Patriotic Treats – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party 75
Yesterday I was informed the 4th of July is next week, and I’ve got to say I was a little shocked. How could it be nearly July already? Where did June go? We’re still trying to firm up our plans for the 4th. We can’t decide between going to a firework show or doing our […]
Yummy Strawberry Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party 74
It’s so funny that last week I was talking about it being unseasonably cool and today we sit with 110°!! I don’t dare leave the house unless I absolutely have to. In fact, our basement has become quite the hang out spot. When it’s hot out, I just want to eat light and try not […]
Easy Picnic Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party 73
California weather has been unseasonably cool and just downright strange. I will take it though! I’m so not ready for the 100°+ days, but I hear they’re coming this weekend. We actually had some rain on Sunday, and rain in June hasn’t happened in years! I love it! Before my hot weather hits, I’m thinking […]

Instant Pot Bacon Pork Loin Filet
Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork. The opinions and text are all mine. I’ve always loved pork. I find it versatile, flavorful, tender and adaptable to most of my recipes. Another added bonus for pork is that you can usually find good prices. I’m also a big fan of […]
Easy Dinner Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party 72
When it’s hot out, there’s one thing I really don’t enjoy doing – slaving over a hot stove and oven for dinner. I’m all about quick and easy dinner recipes, grilling, fruit and salads. I have a feeling I’m not alone in this either. To help you out this summer, the Delicious Dishes Recipe Party […]
