I always like to think of Easter as our official start of spring, but I also remember that each year, I become the biggest sucker around and buy my girls beautiful Easter dresses. You know the ones… the sleeveless dresses, bathed in beautiful pastel colors, created with light and breezy fabric. In my typical ways, [...]
Getting Dumped {Recipe: Crabby Dip}
I have never been a big cracker and dip person. In fact, if I’m going to eat dip, I want the vehicle to eat it with be a potato. Chips, fries… anything but a cracker, please! And I am a firm believer these days of using dips for more than just dips… more like dumps. [...]
My Favorite Bush’s Beans Recipes {Giveaway!}
I am currently on a little 8 day detox / cleanse trying to rid myself of some of the bad food habits I can’t seem to kick myself from. I’m on day 4 (so half way through) and it’s going really well! The good thing about this detox is, even though I have had to [...]
Recipes From the Heart {Veggie Nachos}
My dear friend, Kim, from Cravings of a Lunatic, lost her mom to heart disease 29 years ago and in memory, she often shares stories of her mom on the anniversary of her death. This year, she decided to team up with Jen from Juanita’s Cocina to create a blogging event to help raise awareness [...]
Kraft Fresh Take Challenge {Recipe: Cheesy Bacon Bites}
Everything is better with bacon, right? I was recently challenged by Kraft to create a new appetizer using their Fresh Takes Cheddar Jack and Bacon cheese and breadcrumb mix. What could make a Cheddar Jack and Bacon better? More bacon, of course!
The Sick Bell {Recipe: Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup}
“Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling”… the sick bell tolls. “Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling”… I charge up the stairs, peeking in on the patients who have summoned. “I’m cold, can I have more covers?” “Can I have a popcicle?” “I need a drink.” “My tummy hurts.” Naturally, as a parent, when your kids are sick you want to do anything you [...]

Spoilers {Recipe: Baked Chocolate Cake Doughnuts}
You won’t find any spoilers in this post… just wanted to let you know that ahead of time! Let me start by telling you, I was late to the Downton Abbey wagon. Because of that, I have had to avoid social media like the plague as it is quite the hot topic in my Twitter [...]
I Caved {Recipe: Biscoff Glaze for Homemade Baked Doughnuts}
Scroll down for an amazing doughnut recipe! I remember a time in my life when I didn’t care for doughnuts. I was in college, and apparently I had the ability to turn off some little switch that kept me from liking things that were not so great for you. You know that switch? The one [...]
Dine and Dish Menu Plan: February 17th – 23rd {Recipe: Taco Soup}
I didn’t end up creating a menu plan last week because we were out of town over the weekend and I just didn’t get it done. I can tell you that our wallets and waistlines both saw just what failing to plan does… I spent more money eating out and I’m sure that equaled more [...]
