Ham and Broccoli Meal Prep Bowls let you prep now and eat later when crunching time. A complete meal to heat and eat!

This week Sunday Supper takes meal planning to the next level. We’re sharing our tips and recipes to rival delivered boxed prepped meal services. Making your own at home saves you time and money in the long run.
You also have control on every ingredient. It’s always great to try new seasonings and flavors. If a family member can’t have or doesn’t like a certain ingredient, you get to leave it out of their meal. No one excluded, no fuss, no fights. Sounds good, right?
Ham and Broccoli Meal Prep Bowls starts with meat that is already cooked. I like using fully cooked ham and turkey ham for a quick meal. Pair ham with cooked broccoli, mushrooms, mixed bell peppers and rice.
Arrange in a microwaveable bowl.

Pecan Applesauce Cake #NationalPecanDay

Pecan Applesauce Cake flavored with warm spices, moist cake with bits of pecans in every bite.

Pecan Applesauce Cake

It’s National Pecan Day!

Festive Foodies are celebrating with this tasty nut.
Pecans are one of my favorite nuts. Heart healthy pecans contain more than 19 vitamins and minerals – including vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.

Come to think of it, I could eat a slice of pecan pie.

Since I don’t have pecan pie I made this Pecan Applesauce Cake.

Using applesauce makes it easy to bake this cake anytime of year. Warm spices like cinnamon go so well with pecans and apples.

Cajun Tuna Grilled Cheese melt adds a bit of spice and bronzed tomatoes to this popular sandwich.

It’s National Grilled Cheese Day and Festive Foodies has you covered. Thanks Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventuresfor hosting our event!
Grilled cheese has been a staple in my house forever. It’s the first thing I think of for a quick lunch. You can eat these sandwiches any time of year.
Everything tastes better with cheese. Grilled cheese has to be the most versatile sandwich out there. I enjoy it with ham, turkey, tomatoes and yes, tuna.
Cajun Tuna Grilled Cheese
Melts can be thrown into the mix. In reality these sandwiches are a form of grilled cheese. Bread, cheese, add tuna and grill.
I don’t think we need a recipe to make a grilled cheese, right?
I like to grill the tuna separate so the sandwich isn’t soggy.
Add a bit of Cajun seasoning to drained tuna and grill. I like to add bronzed tomatoes and sharp cheese.
Fry the tomatoes lightly with seasoned salt. Buttered pumpernickel with sharp cheddar works for me!

Food, Fun, Penguins and More #GatlinburgTour recap AD

This post is sponsored in part by Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery, Ripley’s Adventures and The Park Grill. I received no further compensation. All opinions are my own.
My first trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee was jam packed with things to do. Gatlinburg really has it all.
This tiny community hidden in The Great Smoky Mountains consists of artisans, outdoor fun opportunities, great food and amusements to entertain the entire family.
Gatlinburg
Almost everything imaginable is within walking distance downtown. Hotels, eateries, amusements, crafts, shopping, music venues, sporting and even an Aquarium. If you would rather ride, you can take the trolley!

I’m a food adventurer by nature. So I had to try Happy Hour at the Hilton Garden Inn where we enjoyed our stay. Thanks Zac for the great service and awesome wings!

Sweet chili was my pick!

If you love a good hearty breakfast, FlapJacks Pancake House has you covered. I heard so many good things about their breakfast. A true family value.

So many fun things for the whole family to experience can be found at the Official Gatlinburg Attractions Website. Places to hike, fish, zipline, camp and so much more.

A visit to Gatlinburg would not be complete without a trip to Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. So many fun things to do from the underwater shark walk to the kids zone. Be sure to visit the Penguin house!
