Honey Chicken and Vegetable Kabobs

Its July and were grilling a ton. I saw Justin cooking his eggs out there yesterday. Anyways here is a recipe that is very popular on Allrecipes.com, 1500 comments on the recipe so I had to check it out. Very delicious! For kabob vegetables I usually go for summer squash, zucchini, bell pepper and red onion. Tomatoes are good too but my husband doesn't like that they fall off the stick.

Chicken Tamale Casserole

Chicken, cream corn, jiffy mix and enchilada sauce is almost all you need to make this recipe. Its really price effective and easy to make. I crockpot and then shred chicken once a week and keep in my freezer for meals like this and it works great.

Quinoa Salad with Chicken and Black Beans

So i saw this recipe on this show i sometimes turn to when the news is on commercial and i usually think her recipes are a little on the unhealthy side, lots of creams etc... but this one was healthy and i tried it and it was delicious. Also it had three types of protein: quinoa, chicken, and black beans. I also put some zucchini i had in the fridge in it. Here is the recipe.

Spaghetti squash and Meatballs

So i saw this on the chew and cant say i actually made this recipe down to the spaghetti sauce. But I used the directions for cooking the spaghetti squash and the turkey meatballs. The sauce seemed like a lot of work when i can buy it at the store for $1. What i thought was cool as well is the meatballs cook in the sauce so you dont dirty a pan and bake them or anything. My husband has been a little bit on a Paleo kick and he loved that this didnt have traditional noodles but he is still having his usual deserts at night so hes not totally committed. Here is the recipe from the chew.

Fiber Bars

I make this recipe all the time for the kids. Also great when you need some more fiber in your diet if you know what im talking about...camping trips.
