Grilled Cajun Shrimp and Potato Skewers

June 11, 2020

Grilled cajun shrimp skewers are a quick and easy dinner with almost no clean up! Made with Idaho® cajun potato wedges and corn on the cob, these skewers are finished with a cajun garlic butter sauce.

I wanted to create flavors similar to a shrimp boil on the grill. Not exactly the same, but similar. If you wanted to add sausage to your skewers (which would be delicious), that would get you a little closer.

There is just a bit of heat (omit cayenne if you don’t like spicy) in these skewers. The flavors of the cajun shrimp, potatoes and corn together are absolutely delicious.

Using the leftover grilled potato wedges, you can also make vegan vegetable cakes for another side dish with cajun seasoning.

Roasted Chicken and Vegetables Sheet Pan Supper

April 20, 2020

Roasted chicken and vegetables sheet pan supper cooks together on one pan for a super easy dinner with minimal cleanup. Meals like this are a lifesaver during hectic evenings when you need to get dinner on the table without a lot of effort.Plus, one pan meals are a great way to use up what you already have.

Also known as “clean out the fridge dinners” around here. Onions, potatoes and tomatoes are usually on hand, so you are halfway there. If you have a bell pepper sitting in the fridge, or a few carrots that are starting to look like they’ve seen better days, don’t waste them.

All of those miscellaneous bits of veggies can be chopped up and used for this simple pan roasted chicken and vegetables.

If you don’t eat meat, or if it’s a “meatless Monday”, you’re done. Otherwise, a couple of chicken breasts thrown on with the veggies and some seasoning makes this a slam dunk in record time.

Stuffed Hubbard Squash Recipe

November 14, 2019

Nothing beats this stuffed hubbard squash recipe for the perfect autumnal dinner. Beautiful Hubbard squash filled with wild rice, baby kale and golden raisins, it is a healthy and filling dinner. Ready in about an hour, mostly hands-off cooking time, this is a great low key recipe. If you love stuffed squash, try this quinoa stuffed acorn squash.

Hubbard squash flesh is slightly drier than acorn or butternut and it is a bit earthier in flavor. The bluish-gray color and deep orange flesh is beautiful and makes for a striking contrast.

Any kind of roasted squash is, for me, the perfect fall food and if you like to change up for your holiday side dishes, this would be a great addition to the meal.
