Healthy Greek Yogurt Pancakes

These healthy Greek Yogurt Pancakes come together in just a few minutes and are packed with protein. Make them with all of your favorite pancake toppings for a quick breakfast that will keep you full all morning. And don't miss these  Three Ingredient Banana and Egg Pancakes  for another easy, protein packed breakfast.  Lately, all my kids have wanted for breakfast is pancakes, but I find that many recipes leave them asking for a snack within an hour. These pancakes are different. Made with Greek yogurt and whole wheat flour, they have enough protein and fiber, that the kids are full for at least a couple of hours. Plus they love being able to choose their own toppings and add-ins to create different combinations daily.  The other thing I love about this recipe is that it is super versatile. By swapping in different flavors of Greek yogurt, you can subtly change the flavor. Strawberry, blueberry, lemon, coconut, vanilla - there are so many options.  Then add different fresh frui

Easy Cajun Shrimp

Easy Cajun Shrimp made with homemade seasoning takes less than 15 minutes to make. These smoky spicy shrimp can be used in so many different ways - rice bowls, tacos, skewers, and more.  These days I am all about quick meals and these tasty Cajun shrimp are at the top of the list. They are everything you want in a meal with a touch of spice, some smoke, and just enough butter to make it taste indulgent. Since they cook in under 10 minutes, they are also the perfect meal when you don't feel like cooking.  On those busy nights when I don't want to cook, this is the meal I make. It starts with the Cajun shrimp.  Then I grab some frozen rice and combine it with a can of drained black beans and some store bought pice de gallo. Squeeze some extra lemon or lime juice over top and if you have time, add an extra veggie. You can also just add some greens. My kids like it with corn. Mine usually includes some avocado.  These shrimp also make a great appetizer and are a fun twist on a

Cajun Seasoning

Homemade Cajun seasoning made with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and a pinch of Cayenne pepper will be the spice blend you want to use on everything from Cajun Salmon to potatoes to pasta and more.  If I have the option to make a spice blend myself or buy a store bought option, I will almost always make my own. Not only does it mean less spices in my cabinet, it means I get to control the flavor and ingredients. This is especially true for Cajun spice blends that usually contain lots of sugar and preservatives when you buy them in the store. I would much rather make my own.  Plus once you start making this, you will quickly find yourself putting it on everything. It makes the most delicious Cajun shrimp, is so good on roasted and grilled vegetables, and if you like spicy baked fries - this spice blend is a must. Last week, I even found myself putting it on some popcorn with melted butter. Amazing.  Another use I love for this spice blend is creamy sp

Slow Cooker Pepperoncini Beef aka Drip Beef

This tender, fall part pepperoncini beef, sometimes called Italian Beef or Drop Beef, made in the crockpot with a few simple ingredients is easy to prepare and couldn't be more delicious. Serve it with some cauliflower mashed potatoes  or stuffed into sandwiches for a tasty meal the whole family will love. This beef is really special. I first saw it over on The Pioneer Woman’s website and have made it multiple times for game-days, get-togethers, and as a base for multiple meals throughout the week. The idea is so simple  - slow cooker beef with pepperoncinis , onions, and a touch of Italian seasoning and the outcome is better than anything you could imagine.  It’s terrific on sandwiches, over rice, turned into a quick beef stew, stuffed in peppers. You get the idea. I think it would taste good in just about anything. But if I am sharing this, I have share my all time favorite way to serve it. Start with a whole grain rolls and add the shredded beef and some sliced or whole pepp

Easy Mojitos

Coming at you this Friday with another simple cocktail recipe, this time for Mojitos. These easy mojitos are made with muddled fresh mint, fresh lime juice, rum, club soda, and a touch of honey for sweetness. They are refreshing, delicious, and don't require a stovetop simple syrup, making them easier to make than most mojitos. Mojitos have always been a favorite. It's hard to beat the combination of fresh mint and lime. There is nothing more refreshing on a hot day. However restaurant mojitos many times are packed with sugar and use lemon lime soda instead of making things from scratch.  Today I want to share a simple mojito recipe that you can make at home in less then 5 minutes.  A few important notes about this recipe. I like my cocktails on the tart side and don't like anything super sweet. This recipe to me is the perfect balance of tart and sweet. But you can always adjust it if you like things on the sweeter side.  How to make a Mojito from scratch? The first

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

The best chicken fajitas cooked up on one sheet pan with fresh bell peppers, red onions, and tons of flavor. Armed with this easy homemade fajita seasoning , these come together in minutes. Grab some toasted flour tortilla, avocado, shredded cheese, and salsa for a meal that is ready in less than 30 minutes from start to finish.  This is one of those super simple meals that take no time to throw together but will quickly become something you make week after week. It really couldn't be easier. Toss some sliced chicken breast, bell peppers, and onions with olive oil, lime juice, and fajita seasoning. Spread it out on a sheet pan and in about 15 minutes you have dinner on the table. You don't even really have to marinate the chicken if you are short on time, although it will add some extra flavor. The other reason you will want to make these for your next taco or takeout themed dinner is all the topping opportunities. I am a sucker for anything that allows me to pile on all the

5 Ingredient Tuna Patties

This post Is brought to you by StarKist E.V.O.O.™ but all opinions are 100% mine. Lately, I have been cooking from my pantry more often, and these simple tuna patties are at the top of the list. They make the most amazing burgers, can be thrown on a salad, or served on their own with your favorite dipping sauce. Plus since the leftovers keep well, they are a great meal prep option. They are also one of those great recipe blueprints to have on hand. Once you learn how to make these, you can switch up the flavors with different spices, herbs, and flavors to create all different combinations. More on that to come. The key to this recipe all starts with the amazing StarKist E.V.O.O.™ Wild-Caught Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil . This is some of the best tasting tuna around and since it is packed in cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, it has a rich, mellow flavor and the best smooth texture. I also love that it is wild caught, made with minimal ingredients, and it’s dolphin
