Kiss the Cook

This past week I have had a little bit of extra time since I am still only doing 8 hour shifts (I think I will return full time next week!).. so I have been trying some new recipes! I went to the farmer's market and picked up fresh produce and wanted to share the yumminess with you!

After Market... the beets were SO good

Roasted Veggies and Chicken Orzo

This one was definately a keeper! It was a recipe that my friend Bri gave me at my bridal shower. Kellen loved it so much he told me to thank her ;)

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
