Strawberry Peach Daiquiri

Since it's Friday I couldn't think of a better way to kick off the weekend then with a Strawberry Peach Daiquiri. 
Sometimes Friday's just calls for something a little boozy and fruity to kick off the weekend!
I was so excited to see the peaches coming into season I had to make a little cocktail to celebrate.
Ok who am I kidding I just wanted a cocktail, no shame in that!
Cheers to all the wonderful Father's out there! 
I hope each and everyone of you have the most wonderful weekend with your kids and families.
I look forward to celebrating with my Father and Colt with our kids! 
Happy Father's Day Dad's! 
This ones for you, even if it's a little fruity, I think you'll enjoy it all the same!

Mexican Sloppy Joes

I have a little soft spot for sloppy joes.
Alright you caught me and Mexican food too!
These are amazing with taco seasoned ground beef mixed with black beans topped on a toasted bun with my famous Pico De Gallo and avocado.
Need I say more?
I really couldn't decide whether to call these Mexican Sloppy Joes or Tex/Mex Sloppy Joes so I just went with the first.
These are quick, cheap, easy and well sloppy.
I love quick dinner ideas the kids devour and are healthy too.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Protein Cookies

This is a sponsored recipe for Visalus Body By Vi. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I received Vi Shape shake mix from Visalus to sample and knew it would be perfect to make some Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Protein Cookies for a treat for the kids..
I love that these are packed with protein, what a perfect afternoon snack after school to tide everyone over until dinner.
Who doesn't like peanut butter and chocolate with oatmeal and protein mix add for nutrition.
The kids had no clue of the added health benefits in their cookies.
These are simple and easy to make and hit the spot for a perfect afternoon or evening snack.
Truth be told I even had 2 for breakfast.
Deliciousness.

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars aka Brown Butter Brookies

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars aka Brown Butter Brookies
These are my all time favorite treat.
Who can resists Brownies or Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Not I, especially when brown butter is involved.
If you're feeling really naughty go ahead and add a big scoop of  Vanilla Ice Cream.. 
I promise I won't tell, actually I did it myself and oh boy was it worth every last bite..
My friend Lisa requests this anytime we have dinner at their house, it's her favorite too..
For very good reasons..
I adapted this recipe from my Ultimate Brookies  post and used The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies with the brown butter.
Now go get to baking!

Balsamic Steak Shish Kabobs

Balsamic Steak Shish Kabobs On The Grill
I just love everything about shish kabobs. 
Veggies and meat barbecued on a skewer.
Watching the kids eat off the skewer in pure bliss like it's corn on the cob. 
Or maybe its just not summer without grilling some shish kabobs.
Whatever the reason is I'm excited for the sun and many more nights this summer of different versions of Shish Kabobs.
Are you in need of a tasty cocktail to enjoy with your Balsamic Steak Shish Kabobs? Make sure to check out Mango Pineapple Mint Daiquiris and Pink Grapefruit Lime Margaritas. Both are perfect summertime cocktails.
This recipe was shared over at The Shine Supper Club dinner on the grill.
