I started last year with a post that included a vow to attempt to blog more often. I held true to that for a little while, but as time went on it went by the wayside. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I’m a full time working mom of an almost […]
Lately, I’ve been looking for easy meals that I can make quickly or ahead of time so I can spend as much time as possible with my family. Can you blame me? Look how cute my little man is! Lucky me, he “helps” me in the kitchen by taking dishes out of the dishwasher (which eventually end […]

Everyone has those recipes that are great for potlucks, and you use them time and time again. This is that recipe for me, and every time I take it somewhere new, people ask for the recipe. I mean, who doesn’t love cheesy potatoes? This recipe has an added bonus in that you put everything in […]
