Valentine’s Day is just over a month away which means I start to think about yummy, decadent desserts. For the past few years I have made The Hubby something special for this day and I like trying things I don’t normally make. So, I scoured Pinterest for some ideas for this year and found some […]

First off, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are able to enjoy a day of relaxation with your loved ones. As we near the end of the fall season and jump right into winter, I can’t help but still drool a little bit when I see a recipe including pumpkin. Today I am recapping my favorite […]
These whole wheat butternut squash and carrot muffins are simple to make and the perfect grab-and-go snack for our family. I usually freeze half for a later date and they thaw out nicely. Ingredients 14 ounces butternut squash (This time I bought a pre-sliced piece and it was just the right amount) 1 cup […]
I bought a huge can of pumpkin that needed to be used up, and per The Hubby’s request I made these pumpkin goods for an early morning hunting trip breakfast and for guests we were having stay the night. These were simple to make and the streusel topping gave it a little extra something special […]
With two cans of pumpkin in my pantry and a husband begging for a pumpkin treat, I scoured Pinterest before coming across this recipe and knew I had hit the jackpot. These “Starbucks knockoff” pumpkin scones are even better than the “real” thing and were approved by my whole family. A few times. 😉 Below […]
This is my new FAVORITE salad. It is fresh, filling and full of yummy goodness. For not having any meat in it, it sure is packed full of protein as well as healthy veggies and is topped with a delicious, sweet and sour cilantro drizzle. I made this for a family dinner one night when […]
Last week I browsed the internet for a basic broccoli salad recipe before we had guests over for a BBQ. I found one that looked very appealing and healthy, so I thought I’d give it a try and substitute what I already had on-hand. It turned out great! And our guests enjoyed it as well. […]
Nothing says “fall” to me more than pumpkins. Pumpkins on my porch, pumpkin carving, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin baked goods. The weather around here has been a bit cooler lately and since I needed a baked treat for Labor Day weekend I decided to make these pumpkin whoopie pies, and let me tell you, […]
Oh Pinterest, you’ve done it again. This grilled caprese chicken with a balsamic reduction recipe was SO good. SOOOO so good. And EASY! The Hubby was beyond impressed and that, of course, makes me feel good. Here is the original recipe, and below are my adaptations. Ingredients: 6 grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2-3 Tbs olive oil […]
It’s not always easy finding something both of my kids like to eat, but for the most part, they both enjoy a decent grilled cheese. With Cal not having all of his teeth yet, incorporating a variety of veggies into their diets isn’t always easy. So, after scouring the fridge one afternoon, I randomly decided […]
