I've been wanting to try quiche, I've never had it in my entire life. I know...shocking, right?!?! I searched around and found a different recipe than a tradtional quiche lorraine. This was definitely different, but really tasty. My daughter ate it with no compliants - I think because she helped make it! I love having… Continue reading Spinach and Smoked Gouda Quiche
We have recently been introduced to almond butter and I'm so glad! It's so good and much better than peanut butter. We love eating it with apples and I'm going to use it in some overnight oatmeal later this week. This is super easy, but it takes a little time and a good food processor.… Continue reading Almond Butter
I've had this recipe tagged in The Pioneer Woman Cooks recipe book since I received it as a gift from my friend Katey. It's a pretty simple casserole to make and I took some short cuts and tried to make it healthier. But I have to say...I wasn't sold on it. We all could just… Continue reading Chicken Spaghetti

So, I have never made anything that used yeast before, well...maybe back in middle school during home-economics. I vaguely remember making soft pretzels but I'm not sure how old I was...lets say it's been years. I was very nervous that I wouldn't use hot enough water or my kitchen wouldn't be warm enough for the… Continue reading French Bread Rolls
Well it's the day after Christmas and I feel like Toys R Us threw up in our living room! I'm overwhelmed with all the toys Madeline got for Christmas...she's spoiled to say the least! This was the first time I had made pecan pie. I didn't want to make a traditional pecan pie and wanted… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie
