I’ve written about the wonderful food that was shared at the Girl’s Night In that I hosted a couple weeks ago…this is the last recipe to share. Janice over at Celebrating Family brought these wonderful cookies to the party. I had to move the plate far away from me to stop eating them. They are […]
Spicy Egg Casserole
I love a good egg casserole for breakfast or brunch. I’ve had a few good ones, a few that were just okay, and a ton of not so good ones. I haven’t been able to find a good recipe, so I decided to just come up with my own. I’ve been playing around with variations […]
Vanilla Bean Cake with Strawberry Cream Filling
My daughter isn’t too picky in terms of cake. Cake is cake for her….she will eat any cake you put in front of her. So I knew for her birthday cake I could get creative and she wouldn’t mind. Everyone really enjoyed the cake, it had a subtle vanilla flavor and was super moist. It […]
Sparkling Pink Punch
Please bear with me. Yesterday, I messed up my shoulder trying to catch my son who was falling to the tile floor from his chair. In his two year old way, he was standing in the chair and as I told him to sit on his tooshie, he picked up his foot and pushed off […]
Pink and Green Birthday Party
Last weekend was my daughter’s 7th birthday party. She decided on all the party details and picked the pink and green birthday party and since it is really, really hot here in August my daughter requested a swimming party. I think it turned out really cute. My daughter even asked her Nana (my mom) to […]
Eggplant Meatballs
These little eggplant meatballs were the hit of the Girls Night In a couple weeks ago. I wish I could take credit for them, but my friend brought and everyone just loved them. We just could not stop eating them….even with all the desserts, these were the first to go. The eggplant “meatballs” are vegetarian […]
Brownie Biscotti
This was another wonderful dish that was shared at my Girls Night In last week. It was sooooo good! It was crunchy like biscotti, but had a wonderful chocolate-y brownie flavor. Kids will love dunking it in milk and I enjoyed it in my coffee! I’m not sure where the recipe originated from, but I’m glad that […]
Not Better Than Sex Cake
I found this recipe buried in a box of newspaper clippings at the cabin we stayed in a few weeks ago. I have no idea where it came from originally, but I thought I would give it a try because I’ve heard lots of people rave about the “Better than Sex Cake”. Apparently, there are […]
Broccoli Cheese Strudel
For many years, my family has had Christmas breakfast with friends. This is always served, along with bacon, eggs, and fresh OJ. I’ve been begging my friend for years for the recipe, but she always “forgot” (I think she didn’t want to share her secret recipe). So, for my Girls Night last week, I begged […]
Peach Sangria
I had a few friends over last Friday night for a girls night in. We sampled wine and ate way to much. Of course we had lots of mommy talk and just plain ol’ good girl time without our kids. I love my kids and family, but sometimes a girls night is exactly what I […]
Pineapple Not-Upside-Down Muffins
Today’s Kids in the Kitchen is from Kris who blogs at In the Kitchen with Audrey. “I started cooking with Audrey when she was less than two-years-old. She was curious and always underfoot in the kitchen during dinner. By including her in the preparations she was engaged and no longer in the way. I heard […]
Applewood Smoked Trout
Last week we went to a little kid’s fishing hole because my 2yo son was always screaming, “catch fish”. We knew a full fishing trip would not hold his attention so off we went to cooler weather and a fun little fishin’ hole. I don’t care for fish, but I always eat it if we […]
