New Year's Lucky Dish + Rosemary Cucumber Gimlet

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

We are nearing the end of the year and I cannot believe how quickly this holiday season has passed by!  It seems like every year I look so forward to the holidays and in a blink of an eye, they disappear!  Luckily we still have New Year’s to celebrate before heading into 2019 which is why I partnered with my friends at Village Farms to bring you two recipes to enjoy during your celebrations!  My refreshing Cucumber Rosemary Gimlet is the cocktail you are going to want to sip on during your New Year’s Eve festivities and my hearty One-Dish Black Eyed Pea Stew is the perfect dish to cook up on New Year’s Day!  These two recipes are easy to make, full of flavor, and you are going to want to make them year after year!

I woke up this morning to crisp air outside y’all! Texas is finally getting a long awaited cool front that is making my fall loving heart so happy!

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!

Three Easy Dinners for Back to School

This post has kindly been sponsored by Village Farms, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Just because back to school has rolled around and life is a little hectic right now, doesn’t mean that family dinners should go bye-bye because of a lack of time!  If anything, this is the time of year where family dinners become even more important because it just might be the only time everyone is together in one place! As you know by now, easy dinners that use minimal ingredients and can be on the table in around 30 minutes are kinda my thing!  That’s why I partnered with Village Farm Tomatoes to bring you not one, but THREE easy dinners that can be on your table in a hurry any night of the week! My Mexican Tomato Soup, Grilled Tomato and Cheese Sandwiches, and Skillet Chicken with Green Beans and Tomatoes are three recipes that your whole family is going to love!

We love going meat free at least once or twice a week! It’s a great way to do something good for your health and usually meatless meals are super cost effective too! We have a few recipes on rotation from week to week, but one of our favorite time and time again happens to be an Indian dish called Chana Masala. This is a quick and healthy meal that your whole family can enjoy any night of the week! My easy 30-minute chana masala can be whipped up on even the most exhausting of days no problem!
