Oh cheese…how I love thee! Let me count the ways! I always gravitate to any cheese platter…it doesn’t really matter what type of cheese, I will eat any of it! And how cute is the cheese platter in the shape of a Christmas tree?!?!? (Keep reading…there are fun cheese facts, a dairy tour, and [...]
Growing up I could not get my fill of grilled cheese sandwiches. When I moved out at 18, I ate them A LOT! Easy and cheap! Come…you know you had your own go-to meal in college. What was it? Well, now that I’m the grown up…I hate eating plain ol’ grilled cheese sandwiches all the [...]
If you’ve followed AMFT for any amount of time, you know that I love to recreate my favorite restaurant dishes at home (and then share with y’all). It’s fun to do…some times I put my own spin on the dish and other times, I try to copy it as close as I can. This recipe is [...]

So I married a soup lover! He loves soup! And wouldn’t ya know it…he passed his love for soup down to our kids. My daughter is a soup connoisseur…she can tell a good soup from a bad one and is very picky about what kinds she will eat. I find it amusing when my 7 [...]
Okay, really…does life get any better than these two things….cheddar cheese and muffins?!?!? Put them together and they make a wonderful side dish, especially for soup on a cold winter day. I think I could make these babies work with just about any supper….they were that good! Although, I kept comparing them to Red Lobsters [...]
I mentioned a couple days ago that my kids were begging for mac & cheese so I made Cheeseburger Macaroni to try to please everyone. However, they just had to have mac & cheese. And they wouldn’t let up. The whiny HAD TO STOP! Luckily, I had cooked a bunch of elbow macaroni and it [...]
