I’m on vacay people! Yay! So today, I am leading you over to my friends, Kristan and Shelly’s, site where you can snoop around the contents of my purse. Yes, you heard me right. Go ahead,...
Almost one year ago, I gave you a salsa recipe that we love. We still love it, but in the last month we have converted to a new favorite, that is more like the restaurant-style salsa we enjoy. I do n...
Breakfast is a meal that I only spend any amount of time on when Ben doesn’t have to go in to the office. Otherwise, we typically eat a quick bowl of cereal, drink a green monster smoothie, or ...
You’ve heard me say it more than once. I love making cookies for the neighborhood kids. It’s easy to do since they are out and about, running past my dining room window every day. They ev...
Rarely do I complain on the blog about my new living situation here in Mississippi. I’m not even sure I have shared much about it with you. Here’s the long story made short: We owned a ne...
Earlier this year, when I was in Orlando, I fell in love. In fact, it was love at first bite. I’m talking about the Mediterranean wrap I ate at Au Bon Pain in the Orlando airport. I ordered it ...
I have big plans for these cookies. Not only are chocolate wafers amazing as is, they can be used in many variations. My first batch of these were kept in the freezer, waiting for me to munch on them...
When I came across this recipe to test, I didn’t have high expectations. A pizza that was heavily topped with olives? Hmmmm…it didn’t sound all that amusing. But, was I proven wrong...
This, my friends, is one of our favorite desserts. It’s a favorite for Ben, because he is in love with anything that has to do with chocolate and peanut butter. It’s a favorite for me, be...
Otherwise known as “Mexican Chocolate Pound Cake”, this just might be the dessert you’re looking to serve this Cinco de Mayo. But, consider it also as a breakfast option. Last Satur...
You read that title right. In fact, it might take you less than five minutes to make this ice cream. We first introduced this quick and healthy banana ice cream recipe in Chunky Monkey form last summ...
Last weekend, Ben’s parents came for a visit and I wanted to make a couple of healthier recipes for their enjoyment. Although I didn’t get a chance to make everything I planned, I did ens...
Wow, it’s been a whirlwind of a week here at our home, and I’m going to leave you this weekend with a whirlwind of a recipe! My friend, Jamie, over at Sweet Tea & Taters (don’t ...
Last August (yes, that was over 6 months ago), I threw two baby showers that I haven’t had the chance to share with you yet. I planned on giving you a recap in September, but then Labor Day hap...
This is one of my favorite childhood sandwiches. Although I had made egg salad sandwiches for Ben and I a few times in our *almost* seven years of marriage, I never followed a recipe and just mixed s...
A-hem! Can I have your attention please? I am fixin’ to share with you (yes, I’m working on my southern drawl) one of my favorite new recipes, and you do not want to miss it. You will be ...
For the past year or so, I’ve had the privilege of testing recipes from Sargento, with the permission to share with you the ones that I end up loving (read: added to our household’s recip...
No, I’m not calling you names. The term “jerk” here is a cooking method, such as rubbing meat with a dry rub and barbecuing over a wood fire. Recently, we tried a new recipe using...
It’s grilling season, folks, and I can’t be more excited! Who am I kidding? It’s grilling season year-round here. I guess I’m just more excited now because I know more of y...
“Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns! One ‘a penny, two ‘a penny, Hot cross buns!” Was that the first song you learned on your musical instrument? Unless you’re a natural Ba...
Easter is here! Now that Ben and I have our own family, we are excited to start our own holiday traditions. This bread made its mark with us this week, and I won’t be surprised if we continue...
There is this amazing lady we got to know during our 1 1/2 years in California, who inspires me on so many levels. She is a loving mother, a loyal friend, a devoted worker, a faithful follower of Ch...
Happy Friday! I’m leaving you this weekend with a fun little project you can do with your kids, or your friends’ kids, or just your friends. (I have a wide demographic of readers, so yo...
There’s not much to say about this one. The other week’s Shaved Asparagus Pizza inspired me to incorporate my leftover shaved asparagus into a salad. I also had carrots on hand, so I th...
Don’t you dare close your computer window right now just because you were scared off by “falafel” in the title. In fact, I am begging you to try this recipe before you write it off...
Last week, I received a phone call from Julie (organizer of Food Blog Forum Orlando) that there was a cancellation for the food blogging conference I wanted to attend, but was sold out by the time I ...
Once upon a time, I hated coleslaw. That was a long time ago. Now, I still dislike most ‘slaws served in restaurants (as I mentioned before) but I love throwing together different variations at...
Do you eat dessert every night? We don’t, but I really wish we did/could! It probably wouldn’t be a wise choice, though, because dessert in my mind is something sweet and sugary, usuall...
I’m on my way out of town for the weekend. Although I wasn’t compelled to make any new St. Patrick’s Day recipes this year, you can always refer to past years’ recipes that I...
Wednesday night is pizza night in our home. It’s the day of the week that Ben teaches late, so for some reason that constituted pizza night in my mind. Friday seems to be a popular day for fa...
