 We made Yogurt Marinaded Chicken Skewers the other night when it was way too hot to think about turning on the oven or even the stove top for that matter.

It's one of those recipes that's perfect for a change up from the traditional BBQ chicken and one of my easy go to recipes for the grill.

I made this one with greek yogurt, cilantro, garlic and ginger for a flavor explosion.The yogurt helps keep the chicken moist and full of flavor. 

If you don't have plain greek yogurt feel free to use plain yogurt, I've used both over the years and they both turn out tasty. 

Here's the recipe for these moist little chunks of chicken on a stick aka BBQ Yogurt Marinaded Chicken Skewers.

A family favorite Blueberry Coffee Cake recipe filled with juicy blueberries and a brown sugar cinnamon crumble. Some of the brown sugar cinnamon topping is swirled through out the cake. Served warm or at room temperature for breakfast, brunch, later afternoon snack or dessert.

Homemade Blueberry Coffee Cake is a favorite for Christmas Brunch in our house but easy enough to make anytime. If you love this recipe you might also like Apple Coffee Cake and Cranberry Orange Coffee Cake.

This Blueberry Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake didn't last long in our house. Colt and the kids all decided they needed 2 pieces for dessert last night and we aren't talking little itty bitty slices. We are talking about full-sized huge slices Colt had cut.

As if Colt hadn't had enough coffee cake he was standing in the kitchen at 2 am eating out of the pan, I may or may not have joined in on a few bites..  

I decided to add a cinnamon swirl to the middle of the cake to make sure there was a little bit of cinnamon crumb topping in every bite along with the blueberries.

It doesn't get much better than this my friends.

Tortellini Pesto Pasta Salad

Sunday, July 6, 2014
A perfect cold pasta salad to enjoy on a warm day. Tortellini Pesto Salad is made in the morning or night before and refrigerates until dinner time.

Tortellini Pesto Pasta Salad with Feta and Sun-Dried Tomatoes is a favorite Pasta Salad for a easy lunch, dinner or side dish from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.


With the temperatures heating up outside cold food is on the menu and this weeks Sunday Supper theme is Chillin with lots of tasty chilled recipes to help get dinner on the table.

Tortellini Pesto Salad is a favorite chilled pasta salad and a must make for summer dinner or an easy lunch.

It's perfect to make early in the morning while the weathers cool and pop it into the fridge for an easy, no fuss dinner after a day of playing in the sun. 

The sun-dried tomatoes in the dish add a nice little touch of sweetness that pairs perfectly with the pesto and feta.

The kids were a little confused and kept thinking they were craisins. I received a few strange looks before the kids confronted me with why I had added craisins to the pasta salad. They looked at me like I was crazy when I told them I made this several times last summer and they loved it but after a few bites they were headed back for seconds and my lunch for the next day was devoured by my ravenous teens.

Make sure to add Tortellini Pesto Pasta Salad to your summer dinner rotation,  it's tossed together in under 20 minutes! 

Here's how to make the Pesto for Pasta Salad:
