Hot Off the Griddle: Pumpkin French Toast

I love pumpkin this time of year.  Who doesn’t, right?  I decided some pumpkin french toast sounded good this weekend, and I was right.  It was deee-licious!  It’s so good; it just screams fall!  After Tim got done inhaling it, he said, “Did I just eat pumpkin pie?”  It’s easy too.  Pretty much just like […]

Exciting news – our kitchen is done!…ish.  🙂  I mean, it’s definitely back in working order.  We still have a few things to put away, the crown molding needs to go on top of the cabinets, the dishwasher has to be mounted to the cabinets, and I have to get a new curtain and put […]

Red and Sweet Potato Salad

We were having some family over recently to help with a house project, and I planned on cooking out for them.  It was a busy weekend, so I wanted to make sides that would be easy and make a lot of food.  Potato salad always seems to go over well, but the traditional, mayonnaise laden variety […]

Three Ingredient Crock Pot Taco Chicken

A few girls from work and I started a book club, and I volunteered to host the first meeting.  Since I love Mexican food, I decided to have a nacho bar.  In the interest of keeping things easy, I decided to cook the meat for the nacho bar in the crock pot. Incidentally, remember my […]

Balsamic Glazed Carrots

As much as Tim and I love vegetables, there’s one that we really never cook just as a side dish.  Carrots.  We eat them raw and we use them in recipes, but we just don’t really eat cooked carrots.  Until now.  These are so delicious, I’ll definitely be adding them to our rotation.  The carrots […]
