This weekend I was really craving some teriyaki kebabs...I knew I had the canned pineapple (new coupon out for Dole...save and use with $1 sale for $.50 cans!), the chicken and we had a few peppers in the fridge that we didn't use last week. So I thought teriyaki kebabs would be perfect. I figured I had some teriyaki sauce on hand...because I usually keep some, "just in … [Read more...]
Cheeseburger & Fries Kebabs
I'm in love with these. In a lotta love with these. Really. They are so so so easy to put together, make very little mess and there was not a clean plate at the table. As we approach the September release of my third cookbook (gah!!!), I'll be sharing more recipes over on OneDishDinners.com this summer...starting with these! ($5 Dinner Challenge link up will return … [Read more...]
Roasted Red Cabbage with Homemade Ranch Dressing
Not only is it pretty, but I'm pretty sure you are going to fall in love with this Roasted Red Cabbage like we did! Cabbage may be one of those veggies that you see on sale throughout the summer, but you're not sure what to do with it. Besides making cole slaw, of course! I ran across these roasted cabbage wedges from Martha, but decided that they would be … [Read more...]

Homemade Jerk Seasoning and Grilled Jerk Chicken Recipe
Afternoon my friend! If you want some extra "jerk" to your seasoning, just add a little more red pepper. I try to keep things on the mild end because of the little ones in the house. Hope you enjoy it! Over the past few years, I've taken a number of steps toward healthier eating on a budget. In addition to making my own salad dressings, I've also … [Read more...]
Grilled Pork Chops, Peaches and Red Onions
A little over 3 years ago my life changed for the better. I was doing the dishes after having a meal similar to this one. And just like you'd see on a "ticker" on ESPN or FoxNews, the phrase "$5 Dinners" passed through my brain. Then it passed through again. And again. And it wasn't long before I was sitting at the computer to see if this concept had been launched in … [Read more...]
Pesto Stuffed Burgers
I've been dreaming about these burgers for a while. A long while...ever since the Inside Out Cheeseburgers from last summer. I've been pondering what other delicious things could go inside of a burger...why not pesto!?! A little homemade pesto. Some provolone cheese. A tomato, sliced just moments after picking from the garden. All together as a burger...grilled to … [Read more...]
Grilled Pizza with Chicken, Avocado and Tomatoes
I made this pizza on Wednesday afternoon. The same afternoon I made some whole wheat, sugar free muffins (I will share the recipe as soon as I can make them again...I need to get my hands on some more sucanat first!). The afternoon I was feeling pioneer-ish! My neighbor was over and our kids were playing around the yard. We were catching up, talking about the upcoming school … [Read more...]
Chicken Fajita Melts
The final recipe from this month's pantry challenge. This is a new one to me. Maybe not to you. In the freezer I found chicken breasts, peppers and onion blend, loaf of reduced priced bread, slices of pepper jack cheese. And the pantry did make a contribution to the meal...some jarred salsa! Once I had it all out on the counter, it occurred to me that I bought some … [Read more...]
Grilled Ratatouille
Ratatouille is one of the most frugal dishes in my repertoire. When my garden is in full swing the only ingredient I have to buy to make this dish is olive oil. As much as I like ratatouille, I must confess it has a couple of downsides. First, if I turn on the oven on a hot July day and only have vegetables to show for it, I will have a mutiny on my hands. Which brings me to … [Read more...]
