Wonton Quiche Cups
When putting together our weekly meal plans I always like to have a breakfast for dinner night once a week because it's a great way to reduce our grocery budget, since breakfast entrees are typically cheaper. These wonton quiche cups are a fun way to prepare and serve eggs for supper, or we also like to have them for holiday brunches because they're simple to prepare but look … [Read more...]
Iced Caramel Coffee Punch
This is a repost of one of my favorite drinks ever. So a couple weeks ago I was at a Pampered Chef party and my friend Stephany served an "iced coffee punch." I'm not much of a coffee drinker. I generally only drink it when I need to clear the fog after a rough night's sleep, which is only about once a month these days. But when I do have to give into the caffeine and … [Read more...]
Homemade Break ‘n Bake Cookies
Two cookie dough posts in one week. You'd think I was pregnant and craving cookies or something. (Oh wait.)

Spicy Calico 15 Beans
Perhaps it's the season...but these spicy calico beans make me think of football games...and friends gathering together to cheer on (or rival against each other) their favorite teams, their alma maters. These beans just belong on the countertop at such gatherings. Drop a bowl of potato chips next to them and scoop them up by the chip-ful. Or place them next to the burgers that … [Read more...]

Best Butternut Squash Recipes
Best Butternut Squash Recipes I'm on a mission. I tell people all the time that they're missing out on butternut squash. (At least the people who've never tried it before.) I encounter people all over...from coast to coast...who have never tried this golden gem of a fruit. (Although I think of it as a vegetable...it has seeds, so it's technically a fruit, … [Read more...]
Spiderweb Cupcakes
My quadruplets' birthday is this week and somehow they always end up with a Halloween themed birthday party since they were born in October. I've made a ton of Halloween themed treats over the years, but so far these spiderweb cupcakes have been their favorite. I made three dozen of these to take to their school for snack time yesterday and all of the kids went crazy for the … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal
So we've had a handful of "brisk" mornings here in San Antonio. And by "brisk," I mean the temp has dropped below 70. Which must mean fall is here because I've seen a number of people out wearing sweatshirts. Or my blood is already starting to thin out some, because it's really not that cool?! While it may feel warm outside still, it's starting to feel like fall as we … [Read more...]
