Caprese Salad Skewers

You guys. I am having a major food-related crisis! If you have been reading the ol’ blog for a while, you probably know these things about me: A) I enjoy healthy foods and attempt to live a healthy lifestyle. B) I enjoy baking and creating desserts that are often FULL. OF. SUGAR. I have discovered […]

Joy’s BLT Corn Salad Wraps

Here are some things I’d like to say about this heat wave. Something is not right when your properly-working-AC is chugging along 24/7 just to keep your house under 82 degrees. RIP to four of our chickens. Four! 108 degrees is brutal. And sorry to whatever poor garbage man has to pick up our trash […]

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

I love posts that have the labels “chocolate” and “vegetables” together. Sometimes it seems my main goal in life is figuring out how to fit chocolate into every meal. Still working on it. Chocolate-covered broccoli probably wouldn’t go over well with my crew. Or would it.. Back to reality! I made this cake last night […]

Greek- Inspired Slow Cooker Chicken

  My darling friend Joy of Fearless Freezer Cooking is here on Oven Love to share some summer freezer tips with us as well as the recipe for this yummy Greek chicken. I’ve enjoyed this recipe twice (once while in Joy’s freezer co-op and once after Lucy was born) and it was so good that […]

My Favorite Baked Chicken Nuggets

You know you’re a mom when not only do you a) have a favorite chicken nugget recipe, but b) you have a favorite baked chicken nugget recipe.  What’s that you see in my driveway? A minivan? Someone save me before I buy any mom jeans! Just kidding! I love motherhood. Wouldn’t trade it. My house […]

Turnip and Potato Soup with Smoky Cheese Toasts

  We are experiencing a crazy March heat wave down here. I am not ready for summer. I mean, come on.. I’m not done making soup yet! We got a big bunch of turnips last week from our farmer. At that time, it wasn’t 85 degrees, so this was the perfect lunch. I used my […]

Roasted Cabbage with Quick Balsamic Reduction

So St. Patrick’s Day fast approaches.. do you celebrate? I am in the midst of planning a very lucky, very green birthday party for my 2-year-old. His party falls on St. Patrick’s this year, so we decided to embrace the theme and get our green on. As you might imagine, we won’t be serving corned […]

Chicken, Kale and Broccoli Casserole

Let’s start this with a .. YUM. Reasons to try this recipe: It’s full of healthy greens.  Dark, beautiful, curly kale and a little family-friendly broccoli. I like greens on their own, but when you add pasta and cheese? That’s a win. It’s freezable. I made the full recipe; baking up half of it for our […]

Farmer’s Soup with Turnips, Spinach and Butternut Squash

I have Hilton to thank for this soup. Hilton is a local farmer who has recently set up shop in our town, selling his organic vegetables to people like me who are dying to have a real farmers’ market. For $20, you bring your own bag and he fills it to the brim with produce. […]
