Easy Greek Shrimp Sheet Pan Meal

Sheet pan meals are genius don’t you think? One pan, little to no mess to clean up, and everything you need for a complete dinner all one one pan! I mean who doesn’t want more of these types of meals in their life? I know I do! I am always looking for new sheet pan dinner combinations that I can create to make easy weeknight dinners. Shrimp is one of those seafoods that I always like to have hanging out in the freezer because it thaws quickly and can be made into a variety of meals! I created a shrimp sheet pan meal that can be made from pantry and freezer staples any night of the week and the whole family will love it guaranteed! My easy Greek shrimp sheet pan meal is healthy, full of flavor, and couldn’t be any easier to prepare.

Spicy Garlic Sesame Chicken

This post was kindly sponsored by PURA Collective, but all opinions are 100% my own.

I have a few go-to cooking oils that I like to have on hand at all times.  One of those oils happens to be sesame oil because I love the flavor that it can give food and because of the health benefits too!  Even more than that, I love to find oils that are sourced responsibly and if they have a story behind the brand, even better.  I recently discovered PURA Collective and their Ecotierra  Organic Extra Virgin Sesame Oil and Organic Toasted Sesame Oils and fell in love with the flavor, quality, and the mission behind this company.  After getting to know more about PURA Collective and tasting these oils, I developed this spicy garlic sesame chicken using their Ecotierra Extra Virgin Sesame oil that is the perfect weeknight meal for the whole family!

But when I make a dish that I know you guys are going to love, then I have to share it with you, so here we are! My baked bolognese spaghetti squash is going to satisfy your cozy pasta cravings while helping you fit in your best jeans all season long!

Top Ten Favorite Fall Soups

Happy October! It’s officially soup season if you ask me and even thought it’s hotter than fall should technically be here in Texas! We have had a very rainy start to the season which has been perfect for making my favorite soups and getting me in the mood for all things pumpkin and cozy despite the heat. I sure love summertime, but I also really love fall. There is something about the season that just feels comforting and homey right? October is the month that Parks was born, cooler temps hopefully show up, and my favorite holidays are not far away! To kickstart the month, I have rounded up my top ten favorite fall soups to help you get in the cozy kitchen mode too!

Fall Chicken Salad with Pepita Granola and a Pumpkin Vinaigrette

Can someone please tell me where September went? Honestly I can’t believe that October is next week and my baby boy turns 3 on Monday! This year is going by at a scarily fast pace, don’t you think? I love this season of cozy foods and all that comes with it and want to savor it while its around! (Time slow down please.) While I may not be getting to wear my fall favorites, because Texas fall doesn’t like to allow for flannels and sweaters, I am embracing fall flavors in the kitchen! This fall chicken salad with pepita granola and a pumpkin vinaigrette is going to knock your socks off in the flavor department and is the perfect fall salad to make all season long!
