Easter Dinner Recap

April 21, 2025March 28, 2026 RefreshHerLeave a comment

What a wonderful Easter weekend we had! The services at church were so special. As we sang some favorite songs, my heart swelled with thankfulness as we worshiped the Lord. We do serve a risen Savior, and because He lives, we can face tomorrow! We saw the Lord in His Word, as we read in Luke that He cares enough to clothe the lilies of the field and He cares even more for the needs of His children. I can trust Him today – the day after Easter, for every need of my life, and so can you!

After church I hosted just my family for dinner. It seems that our travels keep us so busy that we don’t get together nearly as often as we’d like. So it was special for it to be just us so we could chat and get caught up.

But now of course, we must talk about the food…Oh yes!

Delicious Veggie Stromboli Recipe for Busy Nights

March 17, 2025March 17, 2025 RefreshHerLeave a comment

Last week I shared a few new recipes I was anxious to try. I have an update about one that was super easy and also delicious! I made the Veggie Stromboli from Skinny Taste and we really enjoyed it. A stromboli is kind of like a rolled up pizza. Sometimes homemade stromboli’s and pizzas are labor intensive, but a packaged pizza crust made this come together quickly.

I found a package of pizza dough at Aldi – not in a can, but a plastic bag. It was on sale last week for .99! I’m so glad I found this for nights when I don’t want to make my own crust. This is great for a busy night! You won’t be skimping on flavor, just time!

Flavorful Baked Chicken Fajitas Ready in 25 Minutes

March 3, 2025March 2, 2025 RefreshHer4 Comments

I’m reposting an old recipe that is great when you need a delicious meal in a hurry. We love Mexican foods, and this dish is full of the kind of flavors we enjoy, plus it is very fast to make and is also a great do-ahead dish! That alone makes it a perfect pick for a busy day!

Typically, fajita meats are grilled, which gives them great flavor, but for a meal that needs to be on the table quickly, it’s not always the best way to go. I found this recipe on Chef in Training‘s web site (this is a great site!). She found it on another site…and so on and so on! There’s nothing new under the sun, but we must give credit where credit is due! =)

3-Ingredient Healthier Queso

December 2, 2024December 2, 2024 RefreshHer2 Comments

With the holiday season upon us, fattening foods are always lurking, ready to destroy any thought of healthy eating. Am I right? I have a great recipe for you that’s good enough to serve at a party, or for your snack craving tomorrow that will give you a healthy indulgence!

Last summer a friend told me about a “Cottage Cheese Queso” that she said was amazing and so much healthier. I was a little skeptical, but always looking for a way to cut calories and still eat delicious food, I wanted to give it a try. I’m usually slow to jump on the bandwagons of recipes that fly around the Internet, but this recipe has been on my radar ever since my friend’s suggestion. I tried it just a couple weeks ago. I’m sorry I waited so long!

We love a good taco at our house, and in recent years, we’ve come to especially love shrimp tacos. I’ve shared posts here about trying to replicate restaurant’s recipes where we’ve eaten.

I have just kept making little changes to improve my recipe. Last week I think I finally landed on our absolute favorite way to eat this fishy taco! The blessing is that it’s still very simple and also super fast! I’m excited to share the recipe with you!
