Sometimes it’s more fun to cook your favorite food bloggers recipes rather than create your own... much less pressure too! 😉 I made these @halfbakedharvest Hawaiian Pineapple Shrimp Tacos for a second time tonight because they are🔥!!
:
Tieghan’s recipes have never let me down... it must be her OH roots!😉 The sweet tropical pineapple flavor paired with the heat from the jalapeño cream sauce and the the burst of fresh corn. Name a better trio topping for blackened shrimp...I’ll wait! A new summer favorite for sure!😋

I’m a couple of weeks behind on sharing 20 min meals, so I am doubling up this week in an effort to catch up!
Here’s what is in store for W E E K 4️⃣ — 𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮𝘀!!
:
First of all, it’s no lie that I like repurposing leftovers to create new meals. In case you missed my stories last week, I made @skinnytaste Turkey Meatloaf (which I highly recommend). I used the rest of it to make these 𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮𝘀! Mmm mmmm mmmmm these were so easy, so tasty, and took exactly 2️⃣0️⃣ minutes! 😋 These put childhood bagel bites to shame.
:
If you don’t have leftover meatloaf laying around, frozen meatballs will work just as well.

I’d like to thank my cheese drawer for never failing me when dinner plans fall through. Also v thankful I still have some flowers alive to garnish this salad. TBD if they’re harmful on food.🤪

Sharing my deck glow up in case you missed it on stories earlier this summer!
:
Bella and I have been spending lots and lots of time out here despite the warmer temps. We’ll sit on the deck in the morning while I drink my coffee and then again in the evening when it’s time to switch to wine. Bella prefers to stick to water! 💦
:
This space has easily become my favorite spot “in” my house, especially now that all of my plants are in full bloom. I hope this space sees some entertaining soon, but until then, it’ll remain an outdoor oasis for me and my Belly girl to enjoy!🤍

Have y’all worked on your outdoor spaces this summer since we all spend so much more time at home?

Bringing you a 20 minute stir fry for W E E K 3️⃣ of 20 min meals! Are y’all liking these easy meal ideas?
:
𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup agave nectar
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
4 tbsp avocado oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1" strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Trader Joe’s Asian Stir Fry Mix [Comes with peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, peas, baby corn, onion, but I usually add more veggies]
Extra 1/2 cup red peppers, strips
Extra 1/2 cup Mushrooms, sliced
Extra 1/2 cup broccoli

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
1. In a bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir in soy sauce, agave, and red pepper. Set aside.
2. In a wok, or large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tbsp avocado oil over med-high heat. Add chicken and garlic. Stir fry for 5 minutes or until the meat is tender. Remove chicken from skillet.
3. Heat remaining avocado oil and add vegetables. Stir fry for 3 minutes until vegetables are crisp tender.
4. Return meat to the skillet and pour the stir fry sauce into the wok. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil 1 minute until the sauce reduces. Serve stir fry over rice. Add more red pepper flakes for serving!🔥

Finally getting around to sharing this 𝘓𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘴 that I pulled together for a social distancing happy hour a few weeks ago. It was completely gone by the end of the night if that tells you anything.

This was the perfect opportunity to use up opened jars from my fridge and use some fresh herbs from my yard. Crisp from cucumbers, tangy from the banana peppers, and crunchy from the chickpeas. What more do you need to know?
