These teriyaki green beans are one of those side dishes that somehow never make it to the table. I start cooking them for dinner and before I know it, I'm standing at the stove eating them straight out of the pan. Definitely don't judge these little flavor bombs by what they look like...they are TOTALLY IRRESISTIBLE!!!! Grab recipe here!

I'm in catch up mode this week. With a kiddo home on mid-winter break, laundry that is never ending and a 50 degree where I wanted to be outside walking for hours, this is not my week for involved recipes. I'm leaning into recipes I can get on the table in 30 minutes or less this week. It means more time for "one more puzzle mom" and less time in front of the stove. Here's what I'm choosing from: Miso butter pasta Spinach pesto pasta Vegetable Lo Mein One pan fettuccine alfredo Creamy spinach...

Baked salmon bites are one of my favorite ways to make salmon feel easy for dinner. They cook quickly, are simple to serve, marinate while you help with homework and cook while you find the missing sock. It's a super versatile salmon recipe that comes out perfect every time. Grab recipe here!
