Favorite Recipes from June

 

If you’re looking for some new recipes to try, here are some our favorites from the month of June!

Asian Chicken Salad – When Ryan and I came home from vacation, I made this for our first meal home. I air fried the chicken (while I unpacked our suitcases) and skipped the wonton crisps. (Didn’t want to buy a whole package of wontons for one recipe. I also, sadly, skipped the avocado, as TWO stores did not have a single ripe avocado. It was still really yummy!

Clean Eating Hamburger Helper – This was such an easy Friday night meal, which I served with steamed broccoli. I used to make the storebought meals like this all the time back in my single days. This honestly didn’t take much more time than that, and it tasted way better and was way better for us!

S’mores Dessert Pizza – I made this one when I hosted Bible study at our house. I wanted to actually have s’mores, but we don’t have a fire pit for that at the moment, so I made this instead. It was tasty, and my favorite part was successfully using the broiler without catching anything on fire. Note: the marshmallows were a bit sticky to cut once everything had cooled, so beware of that.

Cottage Cheese, Egg, and Sausage Frittata – I made this to enjoy over several mornings, and it was both easy and good! I used mozzarella instead of parmesan, because it’s what I had on hand, but it was still delicious!

Crock Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls – I do love a good slow cooker meal. I put the meat in and let it cook all day, and it was so tender at the end of the day! I made regular rice for Ryan to have in his bowl, and I used riced cauliflower. Yummy!! This recipe is also easy to stretch out if you add more meat and beans.

Sheet Pan Roasted Sausage and Vegetables – This was easy to throw together, and so good. I used turkey smoked sausage in mine – and added a little fresh rosemary from my plant in my kitchen. SO GOOD. I dearly love sheet pan meals. Second to slow cooker meals, I find them the easiest and fastest to fix!

Big Mama’s Cinnamon Roll Cake – If you need a good NOT healthy recipe, I offer you this one! I made it for a Sunday School carry-in, and it was so yummy. You can lighten it up by subbing out some ingredients for others, but I followed the original recipe this time. The link also offers several alterations you can make for a slightly different taste!

Low Carb Grilled Cheese – This was tasty. I used cheese we had on hand from an earlier recipe, so I used pepperjack and colby jack cheese in ours. I also used a low carb spinach wrap, and it was really good.

Honey Glazed Slow Cooker Chicken, Green Beans, Potatoes ( - Have I mentioned how much I love a slow cooker recipe? I did a half recipe of this on a busy day, and it was so nice to come home to a hot dinner. The sauce gives it great flavor. (I did use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. I also added some frozen mushrooms just for fun.)

25 Minute Sheet Pan Fajitas – The last one I have for you today is another winner of a sheet pan meal. I defrosted the chicken and then dumped all the ingredients into a bag together to shake them around to distribute the seasoning before cooking!
