Ahhhh, the 7-layer dip. The dip everyone gravitates too at a party, right? I’m a fan that’s for sure. For some reason though, I have a hard time keeping it at just 7 layers. But this time...
This weekend my family got together for our monthly “family day” at my sister’s house to celebrate my brother-in-law’s birthday. I’m not sure exactly when our monthly ge...
When my husband travels, dinner time can get interesting here. I’m always tempted to really go all out and try new recipes that he might not necessarily want to eat, something very veggie or ve...
Is it beach weather where you live yet (or I guess depending on where you live I should ask pool, lake or picnic weather)? Is our weather finally on the same page across the country? My family and I ...
I don’t want to do it. I don’t even want to think about doing it. But I have to for the sake of these guys: I have a little “get to know me better” tidbit to share with you to...
Are you all familiar with Instagram? I know some of you are (since I follow a few of you who follow this blog). Instagram, for those of you who don’t know, is a fun little photo-inspired social...
We’ve talked about how much zucchini is coming into this house these days. I understand that’s not happening to everyone just yet, but soon right? So please bear with me as I share, yet a...
{Giveaway Now Closed – Congrats to Karen!} Is it possible to fall in love with food? I feel like I’ve asked this question a few times before. I fell in love with this pizza. Totally took ...
Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to eat what the rest of my family is eating. Turkey burgers were on the dinner menu the other night, but I was craving something different…I was craving...
A while back my friend Amy posted this open-faced black bean omelet recipe and I’ll tell ya, it got me intrigued. I had never thought of cooking up beans in my eggs, though I have had them on t...
errr, I mean plate. But I just really like how bowl sounds. Would you agree? This was dinner the other night. I prepared the entire thing on the grill (with the exception of the rice of course –...
I’m going to pretend I’m Oprah for just a few minutes. I want to give away a few of my favorite things. Sounds fun doesn’t it? My sneakers are back on my feet and on the trails agai...
Last month, I shared with you this super-easy, super-quick chicken recipe as part of Hellmann’s Chicken Change-Up Challenge. It turned out so good that I wanted to play around some more and mak...
Stir fry is definitely the way to go if you are looking for fresh, fast and good for you at dinner time. I mean, just look at that plate of food. I could eat that plate up several times a week with n...
So in case you didn’t know, if I’m not cooking, gardening, cleaning my house, or playing momma – I’m reading. I’ve learned that when I find myself not actively reading a...
I love attending parties where guests are asked to bring a dish. It’s always fun to see what everyone brings and even more fun to taste everything. A few summers ago, my friend Allison got a bu...
My son informed me yesterday that there are 35 days of school left (or something close to that). 35 days!!!! This year is completely zooming by already isn’t it? I know, for me, March was a com...
For some reason, when I’m hosting any holiday meal, appetizers (finger foods, snacks, munchies…whatever you want to call them) seem to fall way low on the priority list as far as menu pla...
I’ve mentioned a few times that we are a smoothie family. Smoothie making definitely got a little easier after the addition of our Blendtec blender, but I’ll be honest, we were making smo...
Before I posted one of my most asked for recipes, I had to do a little research on what to call it first. This is what I learned (from Wikipedia): Marinara sauce is an Italian-American term for a sim...
(From top left clockwise: mint, Mexican tarragon, baby basil, baby grape tomato) This past week has been a complete blur I tell you. Busy is in the air. Whether I like it or not. When I start to feel...
When I was in college, I used to frequent a local bagel shop and order pretty much the same thing every time. A lightly toasted everything bagel with egg salad. When I was served my sandwich, it was ...
Our friend showed up at my house with this box yesterday. This box full of eggs. Apparently his hens are happy hens. So with those eggs I made this for dinner last night: You know me and my obsession...
We all tend to be creatures of habit at times. At least I know that’s true for me. When I find myself enjoying a certain food or meal, I notice that I start to enjoy that food or meal often ...
As I’m sure most of you can relate, we get into dinner funks around these parts. I start cooking the same stuff week after week, for the sake of ease and also for the sake of not listening to c...
There definitely was a time in my life, not long ago, that I was not very familiar with making smoothies at home. I would drink my smoothies out, BIG smoothies to be honest, and then was horrified to...
Can we just talk about these green little gems for a second? They are sprout chips! Yep…baked brussels sprout leaves that turn into crunchy little chips! I just came across them recently over o...
This is my first time participating in Kitchen Play’s Progressive Party and I’m happy to be be bringing some of this delicious Italian Fish and Potato Stew made with this month’s fe...
You are going to want to make this granola. I insist that you make it, actually. Not only will it make your house smell incredible, but it is the perfect snack to take with you while you are running ...
