New England Style Haddock Sandwiches

Two years ago my hubby and I went to Maine and fell in love with haddock sandwiches. They were everything you could want in a fish sandwich and more. These haddock sandwiches were made with simple ingredients letting the fish shine through. They were not greasy at all and yet had a perfectly crisp crust on the outside. The bun was golden, dressed simply with tangy tartar sauce and crisp lettuce and pickles. Is your mouth watering yet? (Because mine is, and it’s only 7 am here.) Needless to say we had a haddock fish sandwich almost every single day on our vacation, even if it meant splitting one because we just couldn’t get enough! Lucky for you, I created an at home version of our favorite New England Style Haddock Sandwich that rivals the original sandwich that I fell in love with!

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!

Peanut Butter Trail Mix Breakfast Cookies

Currently we are in a phase of my son waking up and walking out of his room and immediately requesting a “snack”. He doesn’t want to eat a real breakfast just a snack that he can eat and play at the same time of course. Since we don’t do “snacks” before meals, I had to get creative with what his options could be! I needed something that could be nutritious enough for breakfast, but that could also be available without me having to prep anything! (Enter the breakfast cookie!) Yep, that’s right, cookies for breakfast that are actually good for you to! My peanut butter trail mix breakfast cookies are going to be your family's new favorite breakfast cookie for on-the-go or for a quick breakfast at home!

Homemade S'mores Ice Cream

One of my favorite things to make in the summertime is ice cream. There are endless possibilities for flavors and I have created a simple recipe that anyone can do right at home with their own ice cream maker. S’mores are one of those nostalgic desserts that bring me back to summertime and my childhood after a long day of play. Isn’t it funny how food can bring up memories like that? It’s one of my favorite things about creating recipes. There is something so amazing about a gooey marshmallow sandwiched between melty chocolate and graham crackers that is just the best! I took that same delicious combo and created a homemade s’mores ice cream that should be the official ice cream of summer and I can’t wait for you to try it out!

Grilled Pineapple Glazed Pork Chops

I cook pork chops at least a couple times a month and love creating new recipes to make them extra flavorful. Grilling is one of my favorite ways to prepare them, especially in the summertime when the weather is warm! Pineapple and pork pair so beautifully together as far as flavors go and I whipped up a delicious pineapple glaze that is going to transform your regular pork chops into what feels like a really special weeknight dinner! My grilled pineapple glazed pork chops are full of flavor, easy to whip up any night of the week, and are going to be one of your new favorite backyard BBQ recipes!

I happen to be the griller in my household.  I rarely let my hubby do anything but light the grill for me, and I get very excited about grilling any chance I can get!  Summertime obviously provides lots of grilling opportunities, especially on Memorial Day weekend.  With lots of festivities to attend, I like to keep things simple with MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burgers because I can throw them on the grill and have a delicious meal ready to feed a crowd with little to no effort!  I add a few fun toppings to create a delicious and easy recipe that you will love!
