The Ultimate Steakhouse Style Salad: My Diary of Us

The Ultimate Steakhouse-Style Salad

Happy Monday!  How was your weekend?  I hope it was as good as mine!  Parks and I flew back from Georgia on Saturday and spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with daddy.  We played in the sprinkler, Canean cooked dinner for me (grilled BBQ crabs and oysters Rockefeller...whhhatttt!)  He definitely spoiled me this weekend and I took full advantage!   Today I'll be back in the kitchen and catching up on a week from being out of town.   Anytime I have busy weeks like this I am always looking for easy meals that taste amazing.  My ultimate steakhouse-style salad is one of those wow salads that you totally could have as a meal alone or you can serve alongside a juicy steak!  Your choice!

Oven Baked Turkey Burgers: My Diary of Us

Easy Baked Turkey Burgers

I love burgers.  In fact, there are few foods that hold a more special place in my heart than that of a burger.  True story, but unfortunately most burgers do not go hand in hand with my "get back to pre-baby body" game plan.  I did say most burgers though didn't I?  Well that is because one of my favorite ways to satisfy my on-going burger craving is to fix a turkey burger in place of the traditional beef burger.  My easy baked turkey burgers take care of my cravings without killing my diet.

Not only did I fall in love with a Cajun boy, but I also fell in love with Cajun cuisine and love cooking it up at home, which is why I partnered with @tonychacheres to bring you the best Grilled Shrimp Po’ Boy! This recipe is so good that you will want to grill them up all summer long! 🍤🍅🥬🥖 #sponsored _ French bread, gulf shrimp, toppings to your liking, and a good slather of homemade remoulade sauce makes for a pretty darn good combo if you ask me!

Saturday’s are for spontaneous road trips and these two...who are so stinking cute I may take a bite out of them both. 👪💙 _ P.S. Raise your hand if your spouse keeps you in check on a road trip when a two hour trip home turns into a 4 hour trip and your patience is running thin because no dinner yet, no naptime, and bedtime is going to be late? 🙋‍♀️ Because really it’s not a big deal and everyone will survive and life is short so even though the trip home can be long, you should always take the trip. It’s always worth it! 💯 Do you agree?
