This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Gina Kleinworth who was selected by Random.org. Thanks for entering! Like many young people, who leave the nest and head off to college, I gained the “Freshman Fifteen”. I can pinpoint my extra pounds to one thing… it certainly wasn’t from the not so great dorm food. It [...]
A Breakfast Solution {Recipe: Sausage and Cheese on Homemade English Muffins}
I have a confession to make. I Love, with a capital L, Sausage Cheese McMuffins from McDonald’s. I blame it on Leah. This love began when I was pregnant with her. I couldn’t stomach meat of any kind, but for some reason craved Sausage Cheese McMuffins like they were going out of style. It was [...]
Get Outta My Dreams {Recipe: Homemade Pita Bread}
First off, you are welcome for the 1980′s Billy Ocean song reference. So sorry if it is stuck in your head for the rest of the day. It’s quite the catchy little tune, right? So… pita bread. I love it, don’t you? Do you want to know what I love even more? Homemade pita bread! [...]
#SoupaPalooza Broccoli Cheese Soup and Cottage Cheese Rolls
Pin It The SoupaPalooza linkup beings tomorrow and I am so ready! I thought and thought about what kind of soup to share with you for our second annual #SoupaPalooza. At first I was thinking I wanted to share some kind of French Onion soup. Then, after spending a few days last week with a [...]
Merry Christmas {Recipe: Our Favorite Homemade Cinnamon Rolls}
There are just a couple more days until Christmas! This morning, as I sit by the light of the Christmas tree, with presents wrapped (ahead of time, which NEVER happens) I can’t help but feel so grateful for all of the blessings in my life. I love Christmas, for a multitude of reasons, but mostly [...]
Tips for Simplifying the Holidays with Pepperidge Farm
If you’ll remember back to a post last week, I shared that this year is a bit crazy in that we are hosting three holiday meals in our home! With one week until Christmas, I know that many of you are like me and are really starting to feel the last minute “crunch” that comes [...]
Pepperidge Farm Holiday Worthy Meals Challenge
I am going to be cooking / hosting three Christmas dinner parties this month. THREE! It didn’t seem quite so insane until I actually just wrote that out. I love entertaining, especially during the holidays, but I also know how crazy busy this time of year is. No matter what, I always allow myself to [...]
Baking Bread {Recipe: Country White Dinner Rolls for the ABM}
I’ve never been a fan of the huge Thanksgiving feast. I love food, I love gathering together, but “traditional” Thanksgiving food has never been my favorite. One thing I always have loved and looked forward to at Thanksgiving was my mom’s homemade dinner rolls. Buttery, soft and fluffy, I could fill my plate up with [...]
Carapelli Olive Oil Tasting {Recipe: Simple Focaccia Bread}
This post brought to you by Carapelli Olive Oil. All opinions are 100% mine. When was the last time you did a taste test with olive oil? You haven’t? Really? Well, to be honest with you I hadn’t either until Carapelli Olive Oil sent me an Olive Oil tasting kit, complete with three Carapelli Olive [...]
Leftover Bread {Recipe: Bread Machine Challah}
I see recipes all over the web that call for leftover or day old bread. Bread pudding, French toast, homemade croutons… I bookmark these recipes, thinking someday I’ll make them. The problem is my family doesn’t seem to know what leftover bread or day old bread is. It doesn’t exist. I make bread, I serve [...]
