My husband and I took a trip to Italy years ago and fell in love with the food over there. One thing that my husband couldn’t get enough of was the basil pesto. We were familiar with it before this trip, but had never learned to appreciate it.
When we got home from the trip I learned to make it myself, but found that a common ingredient in pesto is pine nuts and they can get pretty pricey and can be hard to find. I made it with walnuts instead of pine nuts sometimes and it worked pretty well. Making it myself was so much better than any of the store bought stuff I’d purchased until I tried Costco’s pesto. The price couldn’t be beat, and the flavor and freshness was just as good as anything I had made at home. If you haven’t tried Costco’s pesto before, you should!
So I found this recipe and had to try it. It was so good! It goes with so many different sides and everyone who tries it really likes it. It reminds me a bit of Chic-fil-a’s grilled chicken, but better! Give this a try and you won’t be disappointed! This grilled chicken is truly the best.
Tips: I like making mine with chicken tenderloins as well, and I prefer to broil mine. It keeps the chicken from drying out.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pesto (storebought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar

Since we are approaching Thanksgiving, I thought I would share how I decorated my table last year. I usually try to decorate for occasions with things I have on hand, which is what I did here. The tablecloth and floral centerpiece are from Target and the plates are from my favorite Corelle dishes.
I’m a big believer in making table decorations beautiful and functional. The first priority for me is that everyone can see each other from across the table. I don’t believe in centerpieces that go so high that it obstructs the view of everyone at the table.
Adding layers, different textures, and colors that complement each other all help to bring a table setting together.

I grew up on Triscuits. I always liked them, but when I became an adult I decided that I didn’t like how thick and heavy they were. I stopped buying them and went for other crackers for a long time. Then one day I was browsing the cracker options and saw Triscuit Thin Crisps. I was curious. Could these be the answer to my struggle with Triscuits? I bought some and they did not disappoint. I’ve been buying them ever since. They are great for cheese and crackers, dips, with cottage cheese, all kinds of things. Triscuit Thin Crisps are the perfect balance of healthy, tasty, light, and salty.
Ingredients are important to me so I was happy to see that the ingredients include: whole grain wheat, canola oil, sea salt.
That’s it!
Oh how I love them.
What’s your favorite cracker? If you haven’t given these a try, you should.

I use the Corelle Winter Frost dishes. I have had these for many years and they hold up fantastically. It is almost impossible to break them, and I love the classic white look. I tend to get sick of colors and patterns and want a change, so plain white was a wise choice for me. These will never go out of style, and I will never get sick of them. The size and shape of the bowls and plates are perfect. The Corelle Winter Frost dishes are worth every penny!

The first product I’m going to share with you is cooking gloves. They are disposable, affordable, and practical. I like to use gloves when I’m working with raw meat or fish, garlic or other strong smelling ingredients, or when I’m mixing something with my hands. It makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable for me. They are worth every penny. The box comes with 100 gloves inside, so it should last you quite a while.
Now that I have them, I have found that they come in handy for all kinds of things. I use them when I’m working in my backyard or to clean with as well.
