Pork and Snap Pea Kebabs with Ginger-Hoisin Glaze via Martha Stewart
Martha Stewart recipes can sometimes be a little frou frou for my taste, but this was an excellent one. It cooked really quickly on the grill. Kabobs are becoming my go to meal for summer – there are so many combinations and it is easy to combine a meat and veggie. Jack wasn't a fan of the peas, but loved the meat and rice.

More kabobs. These were another hit. The flavor of the meat was smooth – the marinade smelled like beer, but the kabobs didn't taste like beer at all. We all gobbled these kabobs up. No complaints.
Beefy Nachos via The Wanderlust Kitchen
I browned some beef and used leftover black beans and rice for this dish. Creating a crust from crushed tortilla chips and butter really makes this dish – it is flavorful and crunchy. The dish didn't need rice, but I had leftovers and it fit well. Overall, not off the charts spectacular, but a tasty dish.

Easy, healthy and toddler approved. This was a great blend of flavors and the leftovers worked well as smoothies.
Dad's Famous Pancakes via Blessed Success
These were good pancakes, but I think I prefer my mom's recipe. They were a little heavier than I like, but the addition of brown sugar was a nice touch. We added blueberries and Jack downed 3 pancakes before I told him no more so that I could have some to eat.

I was distracted by Jack helping with cooking and didn't get a photo. For this dish I used some leftover beans, rice and corn from a previous meal. I sauteed the chicken and the dish cooked up quickly. It was very tasty and made for great leftovers.

Browned Butter, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies via Cooking Classy
Jack and I have been on a bit of a weekly cookie baking streak. I try to keep things relatively healthy, opting for oatmeal and peanut butter when possible. These cookies were a hit. The browned butter gave the cookies a bit of a nutty taste.
In addition to the original recipe, I decided to add 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans. Other changes include using 9 tbsp instead of 10 tbsp of butter, natural peanut butter and then sugar with molasses instead of brown sugar (I was out). Also, I use dark chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips. The cookies were yummy, but a bit crumbly (probably due to not having enough butter and using a medium egg instead of a large egg). Thumbs up from the Moore family though.
Zucchini Pizza Boats via Damn Delicious
The original recipe I found required pre-cooking the zucchini. I wanted something a little simpler, so I combined the ingredients from the Damn Delicious recipe with the idea of Zucchini Boats I found on Dashing Dish. The end result was easy and delicious. A win for the whole family.
As you can see, we had some great hits with the Pinterest recipes this week.
