Pineapple Chicken Skewers

This recipe is sooo easy.  I'm not 100% sold on it, but i'm also not a fan of chicken.  I feel like I just need to have it once a week so I'm always in search of that one recipe that will blow me away.  This was was okay.
Below is the link to the recipe on allrecipes.com

P.S. I apologize for the terrible picture.  I was super hungry and really just wanted to eat...

Giada's Lemon Spaghetti

Okay I love lemons, but this recipe might only be good for someone who really really loves lemons.  I think I made that sour face you do when you bite into a lemon every time I tasted this pasta.  I even thought I was being adventurous and added tomatoes and asparagus to the dish.  I'm not sure if I did someone wrong, but you can bet that we will not make this again in our house. 

English Muffin Pizza

What do you do for lunch when you have no food in the house.  Well you make something you did back in grade school.  Yup, English Muffin Pizzas.  Super easy and fast...

English Muffin Pizzas
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Split the English Muffins in half and place on cookie sheet.  Top with pizza sauce (I used spaghetti sauce), cheese and pepperoni (of course I did not have pepperoni so these were just cheese pizzas).  Pop them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted on top.

Enjoy!

Grilled Chicken and Green Beans

Well...Someday I will get grilled chicken right.  Almost every time we grill chicken it comes out dry and tasteless.  Tonight was that night.  Just blah!
And to top everything off the green beans that we got at the farmers market had no taste what so ever!  Definately not Grandpa Bud's green beans (my mouth starts watering when I think about them). 
Note to self: remember to ask my parents to ship me some of Grandpa Bud's green beans this summer.
Honestly the only good part of this meal was the grilled sourdough bread....Ah well...

My Mom's Egg Salad

I have to say I LOVE egg salad.  Whenever I order some at a restaurant for lunch it's never the same as my mom's egg salad.  I don't have a picture of the egg salad sandwich, but the recipe is below:

Mom's Egg Salad Sandwiches
6 eggs, hard cooked and smashed (simmer, just below boiling, covered in water for 8 minutes)
In a separate bowl mix:
1/2 cup mayo
4 squirts mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
sweet pickle relish to taste if desired
salt and pepper

Mix with eggs and enjoy!

Home made fruit popsicles

And another summer post.  I found this recipe on Pintrest and I  can't for the life of me find the link to the recipe.  It's super easy!  Just cut up any fruit of your choice and fill the popsicles with white grape juice or any other fruit juice of your choice.  This is a great healthier treat for the little ones too!  I have to apologize for the pictures since it was taken on my phone.

Happy Summer!

Happy Summer!  Well at least on the west coast it feels like summer.  I swear we haven't had rain in weeks!  Sunny and in the 70's sounds great to me!
Because it feels like summer we decided to make some kabobs and a summer salad.  All we did was stick some steak, mushrooms and red peppers onto skewers and threw them on the grill.
For the Summer Salad I mixed together cooked spiral pasta, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, chopped green pepper, olives, cherry tomatoes and drizzle some Italian dressing over the salad.  YUMMY
