We aren’t huge football fans, but we do head to a game once or twice a year and we go to many parties during the season. So, I’m always trying to come up with ways to save some calories and not go overboard while tailgating and when we head to other people’s houses to […]
Leftover Turkey Ideas
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I know we did! I hosted about 20 people at my house this year and kept it pretty low key. We did it potluck style and rented a bouncy house. Although, we have a TON of leftovers and oodles of turkey plus two carcasses I scoured some of […]
Decadent Caramel Hot Cocoa
One of my family’s favorite winter treats is hot cocoa. I’ve made hot cocoa mixes for gifts, bought super premium cocoa packets, but nothing beats homemade cocoa….it’s just two simple ingredients. Last night, I was craving caramel and chocolate, so I figured…what the heck…and added some to my dessert! Several years back, hubbyman and I […]
Sausage and Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
I love this SAUSAGE & TATER TOT BREAKFAST CASSEROLE! It’s super easy to throw together and let bake while everyone gets ready for the day. I think I’ve mentioned before that hubbyman loves a hearty breakfast on the weekends. This is one of those hearty dishes that he loves…and it’s super easy to throw together […]
Mango Spiced Oatmeal Cookies
I really enjoy oatmeal cookies, but I am so tired of the normal oatmeal raisin cookies. So when I got a box of beautiful perfectly ripe mangos I knew I had to turn them into cookies! Oatmeal Cookies! So, I enlisted the help of my 3yo, grabbed the mangos, and my new fav…Irish Oatmeal…and started […]
Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars
My favorite part of the holidays is making pecan pie! It’s my all time favorite dessert. Sometimes, the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas you might find me having a piece for breakfast. I know…so bad but that is the only time I have it, so I take advantage of the opportunity. Unfortunately, I’m not quite […]
Chicken, Sun Dried Tomatoes, & Parmesan Ziti
I don’t think there is anything better than a quick one-pot supper! Do you? They are perfect for busy schedules and our schedule is crazy these days…I think I’ve mentioned before about the tutoring, piano, Ju Jitsu, soccer, and Girl Scouts. All of this after school and all on different days. I’ve had to get […]
Fall-Inspired Spinach Salad
I love interesting salads. I change them up depending on what’s in season or what holiday is coming up. In the summer, we often have main dish salads because it’s just too hot to cook or eat a heavy meal. It’s finally cooling down here and it’s getting close to Thanksgiving, so cranberries are on my […]
10 Uses for Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
The holiday season is in full swing at my house, so that means it’s time to clean, clean, clean. Bake, bake, bake. And then clean some more. Some where in there I spend time with my family and friends. However, I don’t tend to use harsh chemicals to clean. I’m not an environmentalist or anything, but […]
Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls
Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls…they are so light and fluffy and simple enough for any supper, but fancy enough for a holiday meal too! I shared these rolls over on the Bob’s Red Mill website. But, I just had to share them here too because they are just too good not to share. Homemade bread has been a part of my […]
Monster Munch
I hope you’ve enjoyed this month of popcorn treats. Some were sweet, some were savory, some were spicy, and we even had a fun centerpiece idea. Don’t forget today is the last day to enter the popcorn giveaway too! But before you run off and try to win your own popcorn package, check out Krista, […]
Maple Harvest Popcorn
I’ve had the pleasure of following Ellen’s blog, Confessions of an Over-Worked Mom, for over a year now. We’ve gotten to know each other online in a couple of blogger support groups…haha…that sounds bad. Really we just support each other and have a place to ask questions. Ellen helps moms find eco-friendly solutions and time-saving […]
