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 […]
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.

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 […]
