Meatball Soup

The time has come. Time for my first cooking video! I’ve been into making staff spotlight videos for work lately and I thought I’d go ahead and try a cooking video with the kids. All in all, it was fun and I think it turned out great! It’s not taken from the point of view […]

I have done this with my kids for the […]

Nutella Chocolate Mousse

Now if you know me personally, you know that I typically eat pretty healthily whenever possible. Whole grains, lean meats, fruits and veggies. I eat salads every day for lunch at work. But I also subscribe to the philosophy “anything in moderation.” This would be one of those times to employ moderation. My recommendation – […]

Bananas Foster French Toast Casserole

I love entertaining with breakfast casseroles. You assemble them the night before, stick them in the fridge, and then the day-of, all you have to do is bake them! This allows you to actually spend time with your guests instead of preparing food! You can prepare it the same day you want to bake and […]

Caprese Salad To Go

Caprese Salad To Go       It’s tomato season! There’s something about a fresh, juicy tomato straight from the garden that just says summer. Not knowing it at the time, I got spoiled as a kid because we had a plethora of tomatoes, bursting with flavor, from our garden every summer. As a grown […]

Peanut Butter Apple Tart

The other day, I had some apples I needed to use up. Incidentally, needing to use up ingredients is how many of my favorite recipes are born. Anyway, I wanted to make a dessert with the apples, and I happened to have some frozen pie dough in the freezer. I’ve never been a pie baker. […]

Thai Sweet and Spicy Slow Cooker Pork

I started last year with a post that included a vow to attempt to blog more often. I held true to that for a little while, but as time went on it went by the wayside. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I’m a full time working mom of an almost […]

Spinach Banana Muffins, AKA Green Cupcakes

I saw a recipe on Pinterest not too long ago for Spinach Banana Muffins. I pinned it immediately because I’m always looking for a way to sneak veggies into our two year old, Wes (pureed butternut squash in macaroni and cheese, zucchini in spaghetti sauce, spinach on pizza, carrots and broccoli in his Indian food […]

Grilled (or Baked) Blooming Apples

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you! These blooming apples are so good, I just want to shout it from the mountain tops! You have to try these. It’s kind of like eating apple pie, but without all the work (and without the crust). Add a little vanilla ice cream, and you have […]
