Quick Appetizer Hacks to Save Time

April 30, 2014 By Erin Kennedy Leave a Comment

We all love throwing a little get together, or a large get together. But putting together all those recipes and making it look good can take a lot of time. I am sure we can all think of a time or two when we have had to run to the store and grab one of those veggie trays, or already pre-made appetizers that don’t look too pretty.

But we can change that up right quick, and our guests will be none the wiser. With a few tricks and adjustments, we can take a few items from the store and turn in into looking like it was made for a magazine photo shoot.

We are all busy and with these changes we can have some delish food and save some time for other more important things, like getting the house ready, or sipping a glass of wine.

These tips of 98% bought and 2% homemade, makes life easier and this can also be good tips if you need to bring something to a dinner party, or for the hostess.

30 minute Indian Thai Curry

Curries are, in my opinion, the easiest vegetarian friendly one pot meal.  You almost always have left overs and the flavor is totally better the next day!
 
I took a lil’ different spin on this traditional thai dish by adding an indian flare. I added some chickpeas and substituted quinoa for rice for a protein packed meal.
 
Chickpeas are high in fiber and are a great protein option for vegetarians.

Quick Gluten Free Breakfast – Egg on a Pesto Filled Portabella

All right, I am going to bring it up: New Years Resolutions.  There I said it.  I’ll let it sit for a few moments…. Okay now that we got the awkward part out of the way let’s get down to it.  I know you want to ignore them and just give up but come on! Let’s dust them off and see what our batting average is this April!  I have more than a few that I am still pretty far away from, but one that I have been really enjoying is the challenge of eating breakfast.   Now I used to live in Manhattan and breakfast was a cup of coffee (if I was lucky) and for a really special day I would have a yogurt.   But this year my health is of the essence which makes getting a healthy and protein/veggie rich start to my day even more imperative.

Wanting to get a good start to your day with breakfast is all well-and-good but what about the time! This is something I battle with on the daily.  I have so much to get done in the morning before I jet to the office.  So lately, I have been wracking my brain to think of grain free, quick, delicious breakfast ideas.  Because, let me tell you, if it isn’t tasty, it really doesn’t matter how healthy or quick it is.

Goat Cheese & Pesto Stuffed Chicken

April 15, 2014 By Madison Wetherill Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday, friends! It’s Madison again from Wetherills Say I Do.

Do you ever try something at a restaurant and know that you have to make it at home sometime? Well that’s how this dish got started in our house. We went to a local restaurant called J.Peppers where I had the most divine meal ever. As you probably guessed, it was a chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese and pesto. Within a week probably, I redid the meal at home. Now it’s become one of our favorites!

We eat chicken a lot in our house and I love how easy it is to dress up chicken by stuffing it with some of your favorite ingredients. The other night I bought some goat cheese for another recipe and knew it would be a perfect weekend dinner to do our favorite stuffed chicken recipe!
