This is a quick and delicious treat that you can customize for any event.  With Halloween right around the corner, I tinted the white chocolate yellow and tossed in some candy corn and semi-sweet chocolate chips. I think it lasts about 3 or 4 days covered in an airtight container, but really I haven’t gotten [...]

Peanut butter is a staple in this household.  We make countless PB&Js or as my son calls them, “Peanut Butter Jelly Times” (because of this popular YouTube video) In an impromptu making of peanut butter cookies, I decided to bring jam to the party.   Just make your favorite peanut butter cookie recipe (a good one [...]

These potato chips are a hit at my house.  In fact, they don’t last long at all!  And, since they’re homemade, flavor is customizable! Start off by slicing the potatoes really thin.  I use my food processor fitted with the 2mm slicing attachment.  These make them thin enough for me, but really, I would like [...]

My sweet friend’s husband has a birthday today.  I think we’re friends, too, especially since I made him homemade chocolate chip cookies and then something special for his birthday today.  I really think you can gain favor with a man through food.  ha.  What do you guys think?

Lunch was so delicious, I couldn’t wait to share it with you.  I’ve been trying to add more fruits and veggies to my meals, and this recipe is the perfect way to do it. It’s loaded with apples, grapes and grilled chicken, so my kids gobbled it up, too!  I actually went back for seconds, [...]

This week has been a hectic week with little rest.  I can’t even tell that we had two days off from school for President’s Day and Mardi Gras.  In actuality, I only did 2 regular week activities out of my bajillion that I typically do because the family received some news that put everything else [...]

I discovered this recipe in my Cooking Light Fresh Food Superfast cookbook.  (Highly recommend the Cooking Light cookbooks…I also have Cooking Light Comfort Meals and it has a lot of great recipes, too!) I tweaked the recipe to make it to my liking.  After all, that’s how cooking should be – not being confined to [...]

The sweet and spicy  flavor combination is one of my favorites.  It’s probably why I like Chinese food come to think of it… I had a hankering for some sweet and spicy chicken, so I brainstormed to come up with a quick fix.  Since I have to pick Carter up right in the middle of [...]

Have you seen or tried these, yet?  Such a cinch to make!  A regular boxed cake mix and a quart of ice cream worked out great for waffle to ice cream ratio. The beauty is, your cake waffle can be whatever flavor your heart desires.  I’m a chocolate kind of gal, but more importantly, these [...]
