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.

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 […]
