Poblano peppers can be tricky. Taste a few of your peppers before you make your whole meal. Try them out before you realize it's too hot for anyone to enjoy.

Roasted Red Wine Tomato and Goat Cheese Crostini
To say we love goat cheese in this house is an understatement. My oldest and youngest both take it in their lunches for school with pita chips. To make the goat cheese easily spreadable, make sure you take it out of the refrigerator to get it to room temperature.
Sunday Dinner Meatballs
THE BEST, or so I have been told! These little guys are absolutely delicious. We use them as part of a main meal, as well as appetizers dipped in our favorite sauce.
Super Easy Balsamic Vinaigrette
This is so quick and easy and 100% a weekly go-to for our house.
The Easiest Chicken and Dumplings EVER
This is another one of our weeknight carpool dishes. It can sit on the stove on low to stay warm so everyone can eat when they get home from their various activities.
Whipped Goat Cheese with Rosemary Candied Bacon and Walnuts
Share or don’t share…completely up to you! This dip is heavenly and will become one of your most requested items to bring to a party!
BLT Avocado Bruschetta with Lemon Aioli
This is a crowd pleaser so if you make them for a party, be prepared to make them again by request!
Tabbouleh
This is so good. Like all-you-will-want-to-eat-for-lunch-all-week good. Even my littles love this. They especially love to add avocado to it - chop one up and throw it in.
Easy Oven Baked Creamy Crab and Parmesan Risotto
I know what you’re thinking – risotto without standing over the stove stirring for an hour? I was skeptical at first, but goodness, was I wrong? This is so creamy and delicious that I will never make it any other way again!
Creamy Gruyere Mac and Cheese
Do not use pre-shredded cheese if you don’t have to! It has a coating on it that doesn’t melt as well. Shred your own cheese - I promise it’s worth the extra step!
