Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
It's cold ... freezing cold here in PA. Below zero wind chills. I want to crawl back into bed, wrap myself in blankets, snuggle with my dog and watch Lifetime movies all day. But alas, as a Mom, my job is never done and there's no time for relaxing when my kids are off school.… Continue reading Stove-top Hot Chocolate
I love mushrooms especially ones that stuffed! This past weekend, I bought a pack of large mushrooms from Costco and was planning to make a sausage stuffed version, but stumbled on this recipe for a take on jalapeno poppers. They are super easy to make and only take a few ingredients. I luckily had everything… Continue reading Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Mushrooms
Donuts are one of my favorite things to indulge in and its been a while since I made a batch. What I love about making donuts at home is that most recipes make only 6 and they're easy to customize. These sour cream donuts are light and fluffy. Nothing like a traditional cake donut. They… Continue reading Baked Sour Cream Donuts
I was in the mood to do some baking this past weekend and whipped together a batch of peanut butter scones. This recipe is slightly different from some of the other recipes I've used for scones, but it was just as good! The texture of these scones are much more moist than other scones I've… Continue reading Peanut Butter Scones
I'm excited to share this new recipe with all of you! Today I'm going vegan for the day as part of a group of bloggers participating in #Veganuary. A vegan recipe is something that is made with no animal products - which includes meat/fish, dairy, and eggs. I was a little out of my comfort… Continue reading Vegan Cranberry Apple Chickpea Salad
Happy New Year!! I can't believe 2019 is here...where did 2018 go? I took a little bit of a blogging break the last couple months, but like everything, I'm ready to get back to a regular schedule of posting new recipes, working out, reading and focusing on slowing down. I'm part of several mom groups… Continue reading Cranberry Pecan Cake
I'm excited I was able to participate in this month's Fantastical Food Fight! The theme was candy and it's something that I usually don't make, so I knew I would be stepping outside of my comfort zone with this recipe. I took time to really think about what I wanted to try and I kept… Continue reading Peppermint Patties
Homemade granola makes a wonderful holiday gift! It's easy to make and doesn't everyone love something that is homemade? This gingerbread granola is crunchy, not too sweet and smells amazing. I added dried cranberries for another texture and some tartness. It can easily be enjoyed anytime of the day and makes a delicious topping for… Continue reading Gingerbread Granola
Somehow Fall went by and I didn't make one loaf of pumpkin bread. I know...it's crazy! I bought a 3 can pack of pumpkin at Costco and decided it was about time I make loaf regardless that the calendar says December and all things pumpkin are on the way out. I found this copycat Starbucks… Continue reading Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Bread
The holiday baking season is here and I can't wait to spend more time in the kitchen. I was in the mood to make cookies the other night and had this recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies sitting on my cookbook stand. I had everything I needed to make them in my pantry and quickly whipped… Continue reading Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
