One of my favorite things my mom made for us when we were kids was the Strawberry Pretzel dessert. I'd watch her make it, saw how long it took, and marveled. After a few times, I learned that it was worth the wait...and I'd try to eat a small-ish square...with hopes that it would last for days. (It usually didn't, thanks to my brother.) I loved it because it was delicious. … [Read more...]
Cheesy Zucchini Cups
Grab n Go Snack - Grab n Go Breakfast - Grab n Go Lunch. This one is for my low carb friends...and you can make it even more low carb by using almond flour! Even though these "have green things in them" (direct quote from an unnamed child of mine), they were enjoyed by all! I had to promise within an inch of my life that said child wouldn't actually taste the green … [Read more...]
Peach, Almond, Blue Cheese Salad
One of my favorite parts of summer...all of the amazing fresh produce and fun salads that you can "build." I think of salads as being "built." There's the lettuce base. There's something crunchy. There's something sweet-ish. There's something tangy. There's something creamy. There's the dressing. Sometimes there's the protein. In this case, we're … [Read more...]

New Recipe! Peach Dump Cake
I don't make dessert often, but when I do...it needs to be easy-peasy. Like, this dump cake. Peaches + cake mix + butter. E-A-S-Y. So easy that my 7 year old could do it!

But feel free to make your … [Read more...]
Buffalo Wing Foil Packs, for the Grill!
In the recent past, our family has become slightly obsessed with the buffalo wing sauce plus Ranch dressing combo. We've made nachos, tacos, burritos, shredded chicken for salads, and now these foil packs. It's silly simple: mix up the Ranch and buffalo wing sauce. Pour over wings, then wrap in foil. Grill or bake, as directed! Then, top with crumbled blue cheese and even … [Read more...]

Avocado Toast
I think I eat an avocado every day. In some form or another. I've been known to drown myself in a bowl of guacamole, and I love avocado with just lemon juice and salt. (In fact, I had one like that with lunch today...just mash it right in the skin and scoop it out!) I like to mix it up and add to sandwiches, salad and toast too. This could totally be breakfast, lunch … [Read more...]
