Man Pleasing Baked Brie {Recipe: Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions}

February 1, 2012

Pin It Do you want a great Super Bowl recipe? How about serving up some Baked Brie? What’s that you say? Baked Brie is girly food – not manly enough for a Super Bowl party? First of all, girls like football too, so you need to have some girl food at your party. Secondly, this [...]

Now I Get It! {Recipe: Biscoff Biscotti & “Keep Warm” with Frigidaire}

January 26, 2012

Pin It I finally get the love people have for Biscotti. I honestly didn’t understand it before. Why was there such adoration for a crunchy type treat that seemed to be having an identity crisis? Is it a cookie or is it a biscuit? Besides that, all the Biscotti I had in the past seemed [...]

The Runner’s Diet {Recipe: Spring Salad with Orange Vinaigrette}

January 24, 2012

In 80 days, I’ll be running my first 5K – not walking, but R-U-N-N-I-N-G. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve officially gotten off my sedentary butt and have taken to going to the gym 4-5 times a week since the new year. I have also been exercising at home on my off days. I’m working with a [...]

Happy National Popcorn Day {Recipe: Buttery Brown Sugar Popcorn}

January 19, 2012

Pin It Today is National Popcorn Day…who knew, right? When I first started blogging, I had what I thought was a brilliant idea. I’d do my blog posts each time it is a National Food day. Oblivious as I was to the fact that every single day is a “national food day” of some sort. [...]

Oh, Bananas {Recipe: Banana Gelato}

January 17, 2012

Pin It Three ripe bananas were sitting in our fruit basket, taunting me with options. Should I make banana muffins?  How about sour cream banana pancakes?

It’s a Wrap {Recipe: Buffalo Chicken and Black Bean Wrap}

January 14, 2012

Swanson’s chicken challenged me to create a recipe to solve the 5 o’clock dinner dilemma. My biggest challenge with dinnertime is to remember to set out the meat from the freezer. Nine times out of ten I have a plan, but if that plan requires simply removing the meat from the freezer, my mama brain [...]

The Best Brownie Recipe & Using the Frigidaire Symmetry Oven Convection Feature

January 11, 2012

Pin It I will admit, I am a bit of a brownie snob. I like milk chocolatey brownies with no add-ins. I don’t want nuts, chocolate chips or candy messing up my brownies. Plain and simple is the best. My brownies must be soft and chewy and have that perfect, soft, top crust. I like [...]

Multi-Generational Parenting {Recipe: Mike’s Favorite Waffles}

January 9, 2012

Pin It My oldest brother, Mike, is 22 years older than me. I’ve never thought a whole lot about that, until recently. He was married by the time I was born and began his own family just a few years after my birth. Sure, it was kind of odd growing up with a nephew just [...]
