It’s a Salad Social! {Recipe: Robust Bell Pepper Salad}

Stretch Yourself {Zatarain’s Smothered Chicken and Rice}
When it comes to cooking, I like a good challenge. Zatarain’s recently launched a line of frozen entrees for two and challenged the ambassador team to do something new and unique with one of their frozen meals.

Project 365 2012 – Weeks 11 & 12 – A Photo a Day Journey
I’ve been doing a bit of traveling the past couple of weeks and somehow got a week behind on posting my Project 365 pictures. This week, you get two weeks of photos instead of one. When I travel, I use my iPhone a lot for pictures, so if you are interested in any behind the…
It’s a Wrap {Recipe: Buffalo Chicken and Black Bean Wrap}
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.

Hass Avocado Recipe Contest {Recipe: Beef Tostadas}
This post brought to you by Hass Avocado Board featuring Hass Avocados. All opinions are 100% mine. We’re kind of a fan of the avocado around our house. Avocado’s are one of those things that just seem to “ooomph” up an ordinary recipe, don’t you agree? A chicken sandwich sounds much more appealing when you…
It Began With a Lime {Recipe: Habanero Margarita}
It all began with a lime… Well, a lime I was cutting up for a dinner recipe and a very long day full of one thing after another with my kids. My patience was shot and I welcomed the retreat into my kitchen to cook dinner. As I was squeezing the wedges, the sweet citrus…
Easter Celebration Tablescape with Breakstone’s Sour Cream
Many of you know from some of my past dinner party posts that I love to throw a great dinner party. Entertaining is something my husband and I truly enjoy doing. Having guests over and serving a meal and entertaining does not stress me out in the slightest. I’m a very relaxed entertainer. When it…
Soup-a-Palooza Love and Giveaway Winners
Wow! That’s what Cheryl and I had to say as we were watching over 230 soup recipes roll in for Soup-a-Palooza! Thank you all so much for participating. For once, I’m glad that the weather is staying on the chilly side a bit longer so that soup weather is extended. There are so many new…
