Grilled Peaches

A nice light dessert to finish off any meal! It’s the end of summer and I wanted to have one last family bbq before we all launch into our busy year ahead! Every September I host a challenge called Sober September and in it, participants choose a “vice” that they willingly go without for the […]

Mexican Quinoa Turkey Sausage Salad

  [yumprint-recipe id=’1′]           I’m in LOVE with trying out different salad recipes. A salad like this differs from a straight lettuce salad in that if you make a big batch, the ingredients are hearty enough to last up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Plus, this salad has all the […]
