I feel like we sort-of ate like crap this summer. I mean, not for all of it. But we definitely ate more pizza and take-out than normal and I did not feel good about it. Being on the go will do that sometimes, so now that we are settled into our new home and are […]

For the past few seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette I have enjoyed making cupcakes that reflect the two remaining contestants on the night of the finale, and tonight is no different. See “The Lindsay” and “The Catherine” from last season’s finale here, and “The Jef With One F” and “The Arie” here. The […]
Jackpot Casserole is something my brother-in-laws recently made for my kiddos and they LOVED it. It’s simple, easy to make and I am guessing called Jackpot Casserole because it’s such a hit with the little ones. We made it while visiting my parents recently and once again, a hit. Ingredients: 1 TB olive oil […]
If the day has gotten away from me and I need to whip up something quick for my kids, I throw together these Pizza Rollups. They take about three minutes to assemble and are ready in another eleven. Fifteen minutes and you’ve got something decent for the kiddos. Both of my kids enjoy these so […]
I LOVE easy, healthy and tasty dinner recipes, so when I came across this one on Pinterest I thought I’d give it a go since it included minimal ingredients and steps. The best thing about this recipe is that it can all be made in ONE pan. I was a little surprised by how quickly […]
I found this recipe on Pinterest a few months ago and I will honestly never steam broccoli again. This recipe leaves the broccoli crisp and salty, almost like a french fry, thus pleasing my whole family. And it’s SO easy to make! Cut your broccoli into bite-sized pieces, put in a Ziplock bag and pour […]
For Valentines Day I had planned a special meal for The Hubby and I of one of our favorite foods, scallops. We had THE BEST scallops ever in Portland for New Years at The Nines hotel a couple years ago and I had forgotten how good those were until I recently ordered scallops at a […]
(I apologize for the funky spacing, I wrote this in Word Pad and it’s not transferring nicely.) As you probably know, the season finale of The Bachelor is TONIGHT!!! This is a little bittersweet for me because that means no more bachelor mondays for a while, (sigh) but I suppose that’s life. 😉 The final […]
One of my go-to meals when I don’t have a lot of time, or when I just don’t want to cook, which is like, always, is this chicken and dumplings recipe. It’s SO easy, my whole family enjoys it, and you can substitute the chicken with leftover thanksgiving turkey if you’re trying to use […]
One of my go-to desserts that I KNOW will be a crowd-pleaser is this Chocolate Chip Cookie Banana Cream Pie. It’s EASY, fast and you can make it fairly healthy, too! Ingredients: 1 package (or roll) of cookie dough (or use whatever you have on-hand if you have some homemade stored up.) 1 .9 […]
