I always struggle when it comes to making pork chops. I'm not sure why but it's one of the cuts of pork that I usually avoid buying. There was a great sale on chops that I couldn't pass up and figured I would give them another shot. This was a great recipe for that! The… Continue reading Honey Pecan Pork Chops
These bars are so good and the perfect combination of sweet raspberry preserves and crust. We all enjoyed them and they're so simple to make! I'll definitely be making them again and changing out the preserves to another flavor. The possibilities are endless! I'm thinking blueberries, apricot and peach would be delicious!1 1/2 cup flour1… Continue reading Raspberry Bars

Both my husband and I are fans of oatmeal, but who wants to eat hot cereal during the summer? This is a great version of oatmeal and I know they've been all over the web for a few years, but I realized I never blogged about them. I made them for most of my pregnancy last year -… Continue reading Blueberry Vanilla Overnight Oats

Make sure you like my page! http://www.facebook.com/joinuspullupachairI bought a pound of ground pork from a… Continue reading Skillet Ziti with Ground Pork

I've drooled over Katie's creations every single month and had a hard time narrowing down my choice this month, but went with her recipe for blueberry breakfast bars. I will definitely be making her chocolate chip cookie dough brownies… Continue reading Blueberry Breakfast Bars: The Secret Recipe Club
I joined another monthly blog group - it's all about salads! Each month the members get an assignment and the only restriction is that it needs to be a salad. It's a great way to incorporate more vegetables and fruits in our diet. This month's theme is BERRIES. Perfect timing since strawberries are just starting… Continue reading Strawberry Mango Salsa – #TheSaladBar
Today's National Donut Day! Who doesn't love a day that revolves around donuts? I have been looking for different varieties of baked donuts, there's really no end to what can be made. These donuts are delicious! I love the cinnamon bun flavor and the fact that they're glazed with a delicious vanilla cream cheese glaze.… Continue reading Cinnamon Bun Glazed Donuts
I love ramen noodles, I know they're so bad for you...but I still enjoy them every once in awhile. Plus they're my go-to meal when I'm feeling sick. This soup was delicious. We all gobbled it up and I loved how quick and easy it was to make. It definitely took Ramen noodles to a… Continue reading Shrimp and Veggie Ramen
It felt like summer over the weekend - hot and humid - and without air conditioning in our house, the kitchen was one of the last places I wanted to be. I wouldn't be complaining if it wasn't early June and we had our first heat wave and had 4 days with 90+ degree weather. When… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad
