Greek Yogurt with Fresh Berries
Today, I am announcing what the winner of this week’s Blogger Secret Ingredient will get as well as my recipe for Greek Yogurt with Fresh Berries. I love buying plain yogurt and adding in my own flavors. This way, I control the sugar and flavors without having all that other junk that comes in flavored yogurts. Read More…
Pomegranate Lemonade Cupcakes

NOTHING! Read More…

Chicken Wings–3 Ways
One of my weaknesses are chicken wings (aka hot wings…aka buffalo wings). And I like them H-O-T! I’ve liked them hot since I was little and my dad would pick up a dozen for a special treat when we took our soda cans to the recycle place (the wing place was just down the street). I also remember when they were only 10 cents a piece and now a dozen wings can run $8-9 here. YIKES! Read More…
Stupid 4 Ingredient Taco Dip
With the Super Bowl coming up this weekend, I thought this taco dip would be a great game day treat whether you are staying home, having a party, or need to take a dish to a friend’s house. It is super versatile….make it in the slow cooker or your microwave…depends on how much you need to make. Though if you use the slow cooker you will want to 4x the recipe so that it doesn’t burn and sort of fills the pot. Read More…
Easy Yogurt Dip
I had a yogurt party a few weeks ago and asked friends to bring their favorite yogurt-inspired dish. This was probably the hit of the evening. It is so easy that there isn’t much to say about it. It was perfect for dipping veggies and pita bread in. Read More…
Baked (or Grilled) Orange Chicken
I found this simple chicken dish in a cookbook my mom put together for me when I moved out. I don’t know why I didn’t see it before and I don’t remember ever eating it, but it sounded good. Serve with brown rice and a green salad for a meal that’s easy on your waistline! Read More…
Spicy Chipotle Ranch Dressing
I love cooking from scratch, but sometimes I like to use a couple pre-made items, combine them and come up with something. It’s a nice break from always making things from scratch.
This ranch is so easy to make and uses only 2 ingredients. It is so good! I love the spicy ranch at Outback Steakhouse, so I thought this would give me that same sort of feel on my salad…and yep, it does (without the cost and fuss of going out). This Spicy Ranch is also quite tasty on a taco salad. Read More…
Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup
I grew up eating Split Pea Soup from a can and I really did love it. However, I try not to use too many canned soups because of the sodium content. I found this recipe which uses a leftover ham bone (think Christmas and Easter leftovers) and the best part is that it cooks in the slow cooker. Read More…
