Creamy Frozen Orange Cups
The week has been an early homage to summer. With record breaking heat, the only thing I’ve wanted to consume are salad and ice cream. Unfortunately, I can’t indulge in a giant bowl of ice cream every night of the week, so I have to opt for healthier options Monkey baby and I had a [...]
Winger’s Grilled Sticky Finger Salad Copycat
With record breaking heat here in our state, the only thing that sounds good is a salad. And ice cream. I’ll save the ice cream for another day because today it’s about salad. I eat this salad frequently during the summer. Actually, I frequently ask my husband to take me to Wingers so I can eat this [...]
Strawberry and Cinnamon Flax Steel Cut Oats
Mother’s Day has come and gone. I loved the hugs and help that I received throughout the day. It was wonderful. We also visited with a few of the people in our neighborhood who have been great examples to my children. It made some of the widows day to receive a visit if their own [...]
If I Could Choose, Would it Be Breakfast in Bed or…
If I could choose what meal I wanted to have made for me on Mother’s Day, what would I choose? Would I want to wake up to the sounds of pots and pans banging in the kitchen, the smell of pancakes or bread making it’s way down the hall and into the bedroom and the [...]
I Tried…
Today, I tried. I tried to make and post this dessert sooner, but the baby decided she only needed a 20 minute nap this morning. I tried to be a good Mom and have some treats ready when the kids got home. The kids decided to bring their friends home from school. My daughter and [...]
A Tribute to Mothers: Hummingbird Cake
I never knew how hard being a Mother would be. The late nights, early mornings and middle of the night sick kids are hard. But that part of motherhood isn’t the hardest part of motherhood. Not by a long shot. Balancing dance and soccer schedules, doctors appointments, working from home, the kids school schedules along [...]
Pineapple Coconut Cupcakes
Cinco de Mayo is only a day away! Are you ready? If you haven’t made these cupcakes, the answer is probably, NO! We have been busy running around to choir and dance concerts this week. I’m getting really tired of running around like crazy, but glad that it will be over tomorrow. I’m planning on [...]
Corn and Black Bean Quesadillas
Who doesn’t love a good quesadilla? My family loves the plain old cheese and tortillas dipped in salsa. That’s OK! (For like, the first 2000 times we’ve eaten them). Today it was time to branch out. With Cinco de Mayo around the corner, it was time for my family to try a new quesadilla flavor. [...]
No Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Last week was hot and the oven rarely got used. I wanted a cookie, but wasn’t going to turn on the air conditioner just for the sake of making cookies. That sounds crazy and so unlike me! Or maybe I am suffering massive sugar withdrawals since I decided to kick sugar after reading an article [...]
Parmesan Chicken Pasta Salad
With an abnormally warm week, dinner’s have been spent outside on the patio. Yard work has gotten done, and the kids and I spend a lot of time playing soccer, running, or biking outside. Which is how I found the rocks on the roof. When I quizzed my little boy about how the rocks got [...]
