Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I unintentionally took a few months off of participating in the Fill the Cookie Jar group. The first Thursday of the month always sneaks up on me, but I was determined to make it back this month. It was the also the perfect opportunity to send in some healthy cookies to my son's daycare Halloween… Continue reading Apple Oatmeal Cookies – #FilltheCookieJar
As you can tell from the lack of posts over the last week, it's been a little crazy around here. Last week I had to take Cooper for surgery for his second set of ear tubes, after only finding out that he needed them the Friday before. Cheerleading is also winding down, so I'll have… Continue reading Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Lately I've noticed both of my kids are rejecting vegetables. I'm not sure what happened, they used to be so good about eating salads and now the mention sends them into a tizzy. So needless to say, I've been looking for ways to incorporate more vegetables into our meals without them being as noticeable. This… Continue reading Pasta with Sausage and Broccoli
Welcome to October's reveal for The Secret Recipe Club! This month, my assignment was Pretty Polymath. You might recognize Hetal from last season's Masterchef US! I was a little intimated by Hetal's blog knowing that she was cooking at a caliber that far exceeds where I'm at, plus she cooks a lot of Indian food… Continue reading Breakfast Quinoa – The Secret Recipe Club
So things have been a little crazy around here. We've had a busy month with work, my business and cheering and I haven't done much cooking or baking. Add in upgrading our computer to a Windows 10 and then I couldn't get my camera to be recognized to download pictures. I tried so many different… Continue reading Pumpkin Mousse Cheesecake
So summer might be over, but I'm still trying to hold on to all the fresh fruit and vegetables that are available. There's nothing like fresh veggies straight from the garden. I guess we could always move to somewhere warm year around, but I like having different seasons too much! I made this soup with… Continue reading Creamy Summer Corn and Potato Chowder
Recently I've been buying more and more ground turkey instead of ground beef, so I've been looking for different recipes to use it in. I love stroganoff, but my husband is not a huge fan. I grew up eating the Hamburger Helper version and it was one of my favorite dinners. It was something quick… Continue reading Ground Turkey Stroganoff
It's that time of the month again for The Secret Recipe Club! This month my assignment was The Avid Appetite. I was introduced to Rachel's blog when I moved from Group B to Group C a couple months ago. I'm loving all the new blogs I get to explore with a new group and Rachel… Continue reading Pumpkin Yogurt Muffins – The Secret Recipe Club
I'm always in the search for recipes where I can use leftover ingredients from other recipes. This bread was one of them. I had leftover ricotta from the breakfast casserole I made and needed to use it up before it went bad. I found this recipe and it was ideal since I had a random… Continue reading Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Bread
I can't believe it's almost half way through September. This month has been a whirlwind. I took a little time off from work around Labor Day and decided to unplug from things a little bit. It was a nice break and much-needed. I hadn't planned this much time since my last post, but sometimes life… Continue reading Teriyaki Pork and Pineapple Kebabs
