Dinner

It's usually a scramble for me to figure out what to take to a potluck in the summer (in the middle of the week), it always seems that when you get to the big party everyone has brought a salad and there isn't any real protein (unless there is a bbq with hamburgers). But a lot of the time when you meet at say City Park, you just bring something that is quick and easy, like a salad. Now you can think outside of the box and put your crock pot to work.

By now you are likely swimming in zucchini and regretting putting in more than 2 zucchini plants. After all there is only so much grilled zucchini, zucchini chocolate cake and raw zucchini in your salad a fella can take. Stuffed zucchini is pretty easy and really good.

I didn't know that I like these... what? I was at a house gathering recently and I was like wow what is this... good stuff, Sweet Basil Thai Chicken Wings!

These little bites are quick and easy to make and are a crowd pleaser for sure. If you have a slow cooker and a grocery store, you got this!

This has got to be one of the most classic combinations of all time, grilled cheese and tomato soup. Rarely do I come across someone who does not like this marriage of flavors popping in their mouth. Because of the warmer days of summer, soup isn't the first thing on your mind, but this recipe will combine the two and you will be blown away.

Once you've eaten all of the salad in the house and a cucumber looks like liver to you it's time to get back to real food for a minute. Don't get me wrong, salads are great, but unlike cool weather casseroles, hot weather fruits, raw veggies and salads can leave you wanting more.

It may seem like I am a bit obsessed and I likely am, but hey it's summer and that means grilling and thing's on a stick.

How easy of an idea is this, love hot dogs, love chili... this is what that tv chef would call a winner winner chicken, but there's no chicken.

I would assume the name says it all, my co-worker Josh and I (he loves to cook) were trying to come up with a way to perfect another recipe I have done and this is what we decided would work best. And with a tube of biscuits and crescent rolls in my fridge, I almost wanted to wrap them, which I may still do. :)

Christina was born and raised in Colorado and now lives in West Virgina. She loves to cook and share recipes. She swears by this recipe and says everyone in the house loves it.

Bacon, I have rarely met a person that doesn't like bacon; sure we like it in different ways, but we mostly like bacon. So let's start cooking with bacon.

When the kids were small this kid of meal was a must. Now it's just easy and quick and creates fewer dishes.
