Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
My kids are growing like weeds! I've been noticing their pants are getting shorter and they've been complaining their shoes are too small. It might explain all the snacking they've been doing! I wanted to make something that would be packed with protein, but still have a little bit of sweetness and found this delicious… Continue reading Chunky Monkey Trail Mix
Life has been a little crazy around here and spring sports haven't started yet! My husband has been traveling into the city every day for the last three weeks and it's been throwing off our routine. Needless to say, I haven't been doing much cooking or baking trying to keep up with everything - huge… Continue reading Western Omelet Quiche
It’s time for this month’s Fantastical Food Fight featuring chocolate covered treats. The possibilities are far and wide with this theme! I had originally thought about making truffles and then considered a chocolate dipped cookie ... then I thought what about my something my husband loves - peanut butter, pretzels and chocolate! That's where this treat comes… Continue reading Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pretzels

It was a quick and easy soup to make and was great for leftovers for the rest of the week. I served it with sliced french bread, but… Continue reading Lentil and Chorizo Soup
It's February 2 and that means Valentine's Day is right around the corner! This month, our theme for Fill the Cookie Jar is Valentine's Day.

They loved them and… Continue reading Mini Shortbread Bites – #FilltheCookieJar
Are you kids like mine and ask for snacks all.day.long? OMG...you would think I never feed them! I've been gathering up snack type recipes to make instead of them constantly raiding the pantry. These ranch roasted chickpeas were a HUGE hit...and were gone in 15 minutes. Yes, 15 minutes! I guess I should have made… Continue reading Ranch Roasted Chickpeas
I've been trying to get both of my kids to eat more veggies and they love being able to dip them into something - dip, hummus, anything really. So when my neighbor gave me some fresh dill, I knew I would make a delicious dip with them. I whipped this recipe together in 5 minutes… Continue reading Creamy Dill Dip
Everyone likes takeout fried rice and it's on my favorite things to get when I go to takeout from our local restaurant. I know it's not the healthiest, so when I found this recipe for a healthier revision of "fried" rice, I knew it would be something my family would love. It did not disappoint… Continue reading Healthy Cauliflower Rice
It's time for this month's Fantastical Food Fight featuring slow cooker soups! This was a pretty easy theme for me since I usually make soup in my slow cooker. Earlier this month, I threw together a ham and bean soup with leftover ham from Christmas....but I forgot to take pictures before we ate it all.… Continue reading Slow Cooker Roasted Garlic Butternut Squash Soup
