I grew up going camping with my Girl Scout troop and hubbyman went a few times with his family as well, so it seemed fitting that we would start camping with our kids. We first went camping before we had children, but once we had our daughter we did a practice run in our backyard. […]
Hawaiian Donuts
Well, last week was full of giveaways and fun…but I’m so glad to be back to sharing my favorite recipes. If you haven’t had a chance to enter the giveaways, please do so….I really hope you will help me in supporting these wonderful small businesses. Camping season is in full force these days and we […]
8 Can Soup
We love this soup. The entire family just eats it up and it’s super easy to make. Again, this is another budget/pantry meal. It’s also a perfect meal to have around if you are a prepper as all the ingredients for this soup and cans of things, so all the items will store nicely in […]
Taco Rice
With this economy, elaborate meals with fancy ingredients aren’t always in my budget. I am also super busy with the kids and sometimes can’t always make it to the supermarket every week. So I like to have a few budget meals and/or pantry meals ready for busy days, times when money is tight, or just […]
Almond Crusted Chicken Tenders
This tasty little supper is my second entry into Saucy Mama’s Fab with Five recipe contest. This was by far the favorite in our house. The kids couldn’t stop eating it…we ate more chicken this night than we usually eat in two nights. The almond meal really turns the chicken into something really good and […]
Homemade “Lara” Bars
I love a good granola bar. What I don’t like are all the ingredients, chemicals, preservatives…ummm, my list could go on and on. So when I figured out how easy these knock offs were to make I quickly started making up a bunch of different flavored batches. Of course, my family raved over the chocolate […]
Easy Homemade Tomato Sauce
I love being able to take fresh produce and transforming it into something that can be saved and used later. While I love canning, I don’t have a pressure canner so I have to freeze my tomato sauce. I use the sauce for spaghetti, soup, pizza, etc. The picture is the sauce being used for […]
Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes
I have to apologize for the picture. I snapped it super fast cuz I couldn’t wait to eat these…I’ve been making them for years and I had been craving them and realized I had not shared this yummy pancake with y’all. The pancakes are hearty and will definitely fill you up, but they have a […]
Sweet Asian Grilled Shrimp
Saucy Mama is hosting a “Fab with Five” recipe contest and I am super excited about entering my recipes. I plan on entering 2 or 3 recipes and this one is my first one. I’ve had so much fun playing around with their sauces, marinades, and dressings over the past few weeks. Want to try […]
Cinnamon Roll Popcorn
I had a craving for a salty and sweet snack. I wonder what’s up with all these cravings I’ve been having…fudge two days ago and this last night. All I can say is that this totally hit the spot….a little salty, a little sweet, and of course crunchy. Enough said…here’s the recipe! Cinnamon […]
Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats
I know it’s the middle of May, but I really wanted some chocolate fudge. I also had some Rice Krispies in the cabinet, so I figured I would combine the two. We had a block party to attend last night, so it was the perfect time to make these. I could eat one or two […]
Grilled Green Beans
When I was at the store this week, I saw the best looking green beans. I honestly didn’t care how much they were, I knew a bag-full would find it’s way into our shopping cart. This weekend were the first 100 degree days of the season, so we were grilling out. I really had no […]
