Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I bought two avocados last week and hoped they would have been ripe to eat before I started a 3-day juice cleanse, but of course they weren't ready. I was looking for recipes to use them up since I knew no one else in my family would eat them. I found this recipe for brownies… Continue reading Fudgy Avocado Brownies
I'm still continuing on finding new recipes that are low-carb that my family will eat and it seems stuffed mushrooms are going to be our go-to meal.

Our beloved Philadelphia Eagles are going to the Super Bowl!!! For the last couple of games, we've had what my daughter calls "Family dinner" to eat during the games.

I decided to give baked oatmeal a try. I found a recipe with blueberries and maple, which was perfect since I… Continue reading Baked Blueberry Maple Oatmeal

My daughter even forbid me to never make this recipe… Continue reading Instant Pot Lo Mein

It's been frigid here in PA for the last 2 weeks and I'm so ready for some warmer temps. I enjoy winter, but this cold weather we've been having is extreme. School was closed two days last week because of snow and the extreme cold. As much as I love my kids, I'm so ready… Continue reading Instant Pot Baked Potato Soup
Winter break is over and it's time to get back to school, work and all the usual activities we have going on. I'm always on the hunt for quick and easy dinners that I can whip together during the week and this definitely was one of them! I love stroganoff and even though my family… Continue reading Quick Beef Stroganoff
