Mexican Street Corn Dip is an addictive appetizer that’s perfect for gatherings, potlucks, or game day spreads. 

This easy recipe saves time by using fire-roasted canned corn as the star ingredient, combined with simple staples you likely already have on hand. 

The result is a creamy (but not too thick) dip that reheats beautifully and disappears fast.

Easy dinner alert!

Both picky and adventurous eaters will go for this Mediterranean spin on pulled pork. 

Greek Pitas with pulled pork are made in the slow cooker or the Instant Pot. This recipe can also be prepped ahead and made into a freezer meal. 

Serve it over naan or pita bread with our pickled onions, cucumber, feta and Tzatziki Sauce for a flavorful, filling dinner. It makes tons of leftovers too.

Having a plan can save you so much $$$ when it comes to dinner! Did you know if a family of 4 eats at home 6x a month instead of eating out, you’ll save nearly $3,000/year? 

Oh, and you’ll eat a LOT healthier food too.

That’s exactly why we create a FREE monthly menu plan for you. Print it off or use it on any device to get inspired. 

Comment MENU and I’ll send you the link to our newest one now! While you’re at it, why not tag a friend who could use this free gift as well?

P.S. This month you’ll find one of our most popular recipes on the free Monthly Menu Plan—Mediterranean Breakfast Casserole. (I’m chopping some veggies for it in this reel.) Your family will love this high protein, veggie-packed breakfast-for dinner!

True story: After photographing this recipe, I took this Blueberry Banana Bread to my daughter’s volleyball practice to share. It was gone in minutes! 

I love that while it’s made with wholesome ingredients, it is also perfectly sweet and moist. 

I’ll be making this again next time we are in need of a healthy-ish, on-the-go snack or breakfast.
