Green Bean Salad

Happy Summer!

Ok so I know it’s not officially summer, but summer starts Memorial Day in my opinion and that makes me oh so very happy.

Among many things {think outdoor activities involving water}, all the fresh fruits and veggies are my favorite things about summer.

I have a tendency to follow trends in my veggie-loving ways. In the winter, I make soups on soups on soups. You’ll never hear “no soup for you” in my kitchen.

Yes, I realize this is a strange recipe for me to be sharing here with y’all…

But these are really good.

Throw in a jalapeño or two along with some garlic, and it’s a party!

Needless to say, these Pickled Green Beans (and jalapeños!) are super tasty in a Bloody Mary… or eaten by themselves if that’s what floats your boat.

Goat Cheese & Pesto Stuffed Chicken

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!
