These meal posts are becoming some of my favorites to check back on when I’m in a meal rut, so here are a few dinners I’ve been loving lately…
Buffalo Chicken Tacos. Grilled chicken on a tortilla with lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion, buffalo sauce, blue cheese and cilantro.
Brown Sugar and Bourbon Glazed Salmon with green beans and a test run of a pureed cauliflower recipe I’m working on. Clearly this one was a texture fail (delicious, but was more like soup!) so yeah, it looks like applesauce.
Crockpot Chicken (great for not heating up a summer kitchen) with brown rice pilaf and roasted broccoli.
Grilled Sirloin with Grilled Summer Corn Salad with Arugula and Tomato.
Spicy Shrimp Salad. Romaine, black beans, onion, tomatoes, feta, avocado, jalapenos, grilled shrimp and cilantro with a buffalo ranch.
Burgers. Because it’s summer.
Chicken Tortilla Soup. Because sometimes I crave fall already.
Spaghetti Squash with psuedo-Pesto and Grilled Zucchini. I hesitated posting this one because the almond and basil concoction I threw together last minute came out looking less-than-appetizing, but the overall taste was good!
Mexican Shrimp Boats. I found those cool little shells in the taco aisle and had to try them. They are loaded with refried beans, sautéed corn and red pepper, grilled shrimp, green onions, cilantro, sour cream and jalapenos. They were a hit!
What is one meal you’ve been loving lately?
For me, it’s anything with buffalo sauce!

One recipe I’ve been loving lately is some crockpot Buffalo Cauliflower Chili. I know it’s not exactly chili-like weather yet, but anything that can simmer away for 10 hours while I’m at work or out playing, is welcome anytime!! My husband actually prefers this chili over meat chili.

I love these ideas- we definitely have similar eating styles!! Though I hate cilantro!

You’re not joking about your love of Buffalo sauce! Those meals look delicious! We had homemade turkey burgers wraps in lettuce tonight for supper with a side spinach salad.. Yummmm! I’ve also been loving fajita salads this summer!

Thanks for the meal planning inspiration! Your meals always look so tasty. Question- do you make your own buffalo ranch dressing or buy it? If you buy it, which brand do you like? Thanks!

I “make” it using store bought ranch and wing sauce. I’ll be honest though, I have yet to find a great natural ranch, so I want to try and make it at home. I’m currently buying Newman’s Own but really miss the taste of good ‘ol Hidden Valley. Hoping to experiment in the kitchen soon! 🙂

The next time you prepare the Spicy Shrimp Salad can I come over? Yum!

Your food looks amazing, especially the buffalo chicken tacos. I love buffalo chicken, but my son’s belly doesn’t (nursing), so I had to stop eating it for now.

Oh man, that must be tough to have to eliminate foods for breastfeeding! Good for you mama!
