Easy Asparagus and Peas with Herbs

Easy Asparagus and Peas with Herbs

Raise your hand if you are in need of all the easy side dishes right now? I feel like I have been making the same recipes over and over lately and last week I decided I wanted to try a few new recipes to switch things up! I ended up creating a dish with some asparagus that needed using up from the fridge and threw in some peas from the freezer along with some fresh herbs that I had, and the result was so good y’all! It was such a nice change from the usual roasted asparagus that I usually make, not to mention it takes about ten minutes total from start to finish so its kind of amazing. I figured that you probably needed this dish in your life too, you’re welcome. My easy asparagus and peas with herbs pairs perfectly with any protein you might be making and will quickly become one of your favorite dinnertime sides!

The Best Chicken Tacos

I am not sure when Taco Tuesday became a thing, but I am totally on board. For one I love tacos (duh), but secondly I love that every week I can use this day as an excuse to make some sort of taco and I don’t have to think about what’s for dinner! The only thing I have to decide is do I want steak tacos, fish tacos, taco salads, or chicken tacos! Not a bad problem to have right? I have been meaning to share my chicken taco recipe and and am finally getting around to it! This recipe is not only full of flavor, but it can be ready in 30 minutes any night of the week! I have created the BEST chicken tacos and you are going to love adding this recipe into your taco rotation!

Grilled Steakhouse Salad Flatbread

This post is kindly sponsored by Taylor Farms, but all opinions are 100% my own.

We are in full summertime mode over here which means I am always thinking up ways to make dinner quicker and easier so we have more time to enjoy the day! Grilling is one of my favorite ways to cook in the summer months and I love putting my grill to work for more than just meats and veggies and flatbreads are one of my favorite ways to do just that! I partnered with Taylor Farms to bring you a fun new way to enjoy a steakhouse salad and thanks to their easy Salad Kits, dinner has never been easier! I created a Grilled Steakhouse Salad Flatbread using Taylor Farms Steakhouse Wedge Chopped Kit and the result was insanely delicious and took me no time to whip up!

I love grilling flatbreads and pizzas! It gives the crust a wood fired oven taste (without the wood fired oven) and it really couldn’t be easier to grill up! I am notorious for grilling up anything and everything, especially in the summertime when I don’t want to turn my oven on! This grilled steakhouse salad flatbread is the perfect summer meal because we all need a little more salad in our lives and this is a fun new way to enjoy one! This meal is perfect for the whole family and you can bet even your non salad loving kiddos will gobble up their salad when its on top of a flatbread!

I love the idea of this flatbread for an easy dinner, but this recipe would also make a really fun appetizer for entertaining throughout the summer months and is a crowd pleaser all around!

Taylor Farms makes it incredibly easy to eat good without having to do any of the work! I keep a few varieties of their salad kits in my fridge for nights where I need something on the table fast! Their NEW Steakhouse Wedge Chopped Kit is so delicious y’all! It even comes complete with a creamy blue cheese dressing, crispy onion straws, steak seasoning, and bacon! It’s 100% delicious on it’s own, but this Steakhouse Wedge Chopped Salad Kit really takes these flatbreads to the next level! I can’t wait for you to give this recipe and this salad kit a try for yourself to see just how good they really are!.

Check out other delicious salad kit varieties over on Taylor Farms’ website and where to find them near you!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Bag Taylor Farms Chopped Steakhouse Salad Mix

  • 1 Lb Grilled Steak (I like to use a Ribeye or a Flank Steak)

  • 2 Tbsp. Crumbled Blue Cheese

  • 1 Tbsp. Salt

  • 1 Tsp. Black Freshly Cracked Pepper

  • 1 Store Bought or Homemade Pizza Dough, at room temperature

  • 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Directions:

  • Season steak with salt, pepper, and the steak seasoning from the Taylor Farms Steakhouse Wedge Chopped Kit and rub liberally on both sides, reserving 1/2 tsp for the flatbread. Let steak rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling.

  • Preheat grill to high heat, about 450-500 degrees.

  • Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into desired flatbread shape and then brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on each side and season with the remainder of the steak seasoning and salt and pepper.

  • Place steak on the grill for 6-7 per side, depending on the thickness of your steak until desired doneness. This time is for a 1 1/2 inch thick ribeye and gets it to a medium doneness.

  • Remove steak and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  • Meanwhile place flatbread, oil side down on the grill and let it cook until you see bubbles in the dough and the underside is charred. Flip and repeat. This whole process takes about 2-3 minutes per side so watch your dough carefully.

  • Toss Taylor Farms Chopped Steakhouse Salad mix together and then place on top of the flatbread.

  • Slice steak into cubes and add to the salad and then sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles if desired.

  • Slice and serve immediately.

Don’t these look incredible? I’m getting hungry just thinking about them! Time to fire up the grill and make these delicious Grilled Steakhouse Salad Flatbreads this week!

Spanish Chorizo Summer Breakfast Salad

I love the idea of starting my day off with greens. I feel like it sets the tone for the day and makes me feel really good after I eat them. Breakfast salads are becoming more popular for this reason and I love that you can truly use salad as a base for all of your favorite breakfast foods! From eggs, potatoes, more veggies, avocado, and more the possibilities are endless for breakfast salads! It’s another great way to meal prep at the beginning of the week and have a healthy breakfast ready when you are every single morning! My Spanish chorizo summer breakfast salad is the perfect dish to help you switch up your regular breakfast routine!

Chili Grapefruit Salmon Salad

The weather has been a little warm here in Texas this week and I have been craving fresh salads with lots of fresh ingredients including anything and everything citrus! I made a lunch based on these cravings yesterday that will be on a weekly rotation in my house from here on out. It was one of those salads that was a happy accident that came from using ingredients I had in the fridge! I literally couldn’t stop saying “mmm” to myself while I was eating it (you know what I am talking about) and knew I had to share it with you all as soon as possible! My chili grapefruit salmon salad is not only super healthy, but is also full of fresh flavors that truly make the perfect lunch or light dinner any night of the week!
