Kitchen Inspiration

We have been in our house for over a month now and it has been nice to feel a little more settled. However, there are still so many projects that need to be finished and begun! When I am feeling overwhelmed by all that needs to be done still, I try and remember where we started! We've come a long way! You can see some before pictures HERE. I am excited to post some up to date pictures, but still want to get some projects finished up before that. So I thought I would post some pictures that have, and still are inspiring our kitchen remodel.

Easy Dinner Recipes

Mediterranean-Style Brown Rice Bake via Food For My Family

This was a really easy dinner to throw together! I even made mine earlier in the day, stuck it in the fridge and when we got home later that evening it was ready to go in the oven for a quick 30 minutes.

Greek Turkey Meatballs via Skinny Taste

This is a great healthy dinner; meatballs without all the carbs to go with them. We ate ours with a Greek Salad on the side. I improvised a bit with this recipe for the meatballs using what I had on hand and they came out great. Don't forget to make some taziki for on top!

Avocado Basil Pasta via Recipe.com

This is a really easy dinner to throw together quickly. I made mine with whole wheat bow-tie pasta and used freeze dried basil instead of fresh.

Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad via Nutmeg Notebook

I love salads for dinner, especially in the summer because it means I don't have to heat up my kitchen. For the chicken in the salad I bought a rotisserie chicken and in place of sour cream in the salad dressing I used Greek Yogurt.

I love finding new recipes on Pinterest, however I pin way more then I am able to keep up with making! These are a few recipes that I have actually made, tried, and loved! Hope you enjoy them as well! You can follow my Recipe Board HERE.

I love this idea, and first saw in on Pinterest, pinned from Ohdeedoh here. Such a fun idea for a hot summer day. Disney's Family Fun site gives you all the details on how to build one! You can find the tutorial here. This would also be great for a summer birthday party, have all the kids bring their trikes!
