It’s time for another installment of Chopped Club! We love the Food Network show Chopped at our house, so much so that we’ve done a couple challenges of our own. This time, we decided to challenge each other with ingredients we already had in our house. It was super fun to select ingredients from our […]
I was at the Farmer’s Market the other day pining over all of the beautiful produce, and admiring the increasing variety of other products sold there – lotions, soaps, plants, cheeses, etc. I came up to a stand of baked goods that looked good enough to make your mouth water, and I very nearly bought […]
It’s no secret that I’m a nursing mom, and I’m always on the lookout for recipes that help boost lactation. I make lactation granola bars and energy bites regularly because not only are they good for maintaining my milk supply, they are a delicious, sweet treat that I don’t have to feel guilty about. I […]
A few days ago, we were having some family over, and I wanted to make a breakfast casserole. I was looking around for a new recipe, and I found one that called for adding pancake mix in with the eggs. I thought it was an interesting spin, so I decided to give it a try. (Incidentally, […]
I’ve been making my own taco seasoning for quite a while now. When I started really getting into food and watching Food Network a few years ago, I watched a lot of Rachael Ray 30 Minute Meals, because that was relatable to me. Even when making a meal in 30 minutes or less, she always […]
You’ve probably seen the one pot meals floating around the internet, praised for the simplicity of cooking everything in one pot (even the pasta, gasp!), and touted as being simply delicious. Well, I’ve seen them, and they did seem simple – pasta, tomatoes, and basil – for example. Almost too simple. So I wasn’t really […]
I’m forever on the hunt for healthy things my toddler will eat. Whenever possible, I like to make things at home as opposed to buying them so I can control the quality of ingredients. The less additives, the better! Breakfast seems to be the most challenging meal for me be creative with. I’m a working […]
I saw a recipe a while back by Hungry Girl that was a Mexican casserole made with spaghetti squash. I read the recipe once and thought it sounded good, so I decided to make it. I love Mexican food, and I’m always game for a lightened up recipe. Well, the day I went to make it, […]
This dish was inspired by my pantry. I’ll admit, there’s enough food stocked in our pantry to last a good long while through an apocalypse. I was in there the other day and saw a bag of sun-dried tomatoes that had been sitting around for a while and thought, “I should use those.” So I looked […]
No matter who you’re rooting for, chili is a classic go-to for the big game. I know that’s what we’re having at our house! You can make a big pot to feed a crowd, and it’s totally low maintenance. Once you make it, just leave it on the stove or even in a crock pot […]
