I think it’s officially soup season. This is quite possibly – no, definitely – my new favorite crock pot soup. I found it on Skinnytaste, and it was so easy and extremely scrumptious. And light! I love Mexican food, so I might be a bit biased, but we shared this with some friends, and they […]

Cheesy Chicken in Poblano Sauce
I saw this recipe, as you might have guessed, on Rachael Ray. I originally saved it for my husband because he loves peppers and spicy food. Well, it actually wasn’t that spicy – I was totally able to tolerate the heat level. We both absolutely loved this and will definitely be making it again. I […]
Peanut Butter Banana Surprise II
Are you still as full from Thanksgiving as I am? I mean, we had four Thanksgiving meals in three days. That’s gotta be some kind of record. I don’t imagine you want to read about some big meal right now, so I figured I’d post something that’s kind of healthy and light. This is a […]
Cheddar Rosemary Corn Muffins
I saw a recipe for Cheddar Rosemary Corn Muffins the other day, but it was from scratch…like using corn meal, which I didn’t have. I did have a corn muffin mix, though, so I decided to wing it because the combination of cheddar and rosemary intrigued me. You know how sometimes, you have a vision […]
Sinfully Delicious But Actually Kinda Light Chocolate Peanut Butter Trifle
If you need a dessert for Thanksgiving and someone else already has dibs on pumpkin pie, give this a try! It’ll look beautiful on the family table…for about 30 seconds until everyone devours it. You guys know I have a serious weakness for peanut butter and chocolate. We had our friends, Andy and Jacquie, over […]
Celebrate National Guacamole Day with Guacamole Grilled Cheese!
Actually, it’s National Spicy Guacamole Day, if you want to be technical, but…meh. I love guacamole, so I am excited to celebrate this food holiday! I already have other plans for dinner, but since I eat Mexican food at least once a week, I’ll surely make up for it soon! To help you celebrate such […]
Savory Apple Bacon Sweet Potatoes
It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! Surely I’m not the only one who has started thinking about what I’m going to take to our family get-togethers. I’ve mentioned before how much I love sweet potatoes. Don’t get me wrong – I love the sweet, buttery, brown sugary, pecan topped sweet […]
Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Cannellini Beans
When I made this last week, it got absolutely rave reviews from both Tim and me. I knew he liked it when he took his first bite, said, “Yeah!” and gave me a high five. A few more bites into it, he asked me where I got the recipe. I replied, “Rachael Ray, my old […]
Easy Weeknight Dinner: Baked Spaghetti Squash with Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
So, I subscribe to this awesome blog, Two Peas and Their Pod. I just love their recipes, their photos are fantastic, and their posts are well written. A couple of weeks ago, I saw they posted this recipe for Baked Spaghetti Squash with Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce. I knew immediately I’d have to try […]
Hot Off the Griddle: Pumpkin French Toast
I love pumpkin this time of year. Who doesn’t, right? I decided some pumpkin french toast sounded good this weekend, and I was right. It was deee-licious! It’s so good; it just screams fall! After Tim got done inhaling it, he said, “Did I just eat pumpkin pie?” It’s easy too. Pretty much just like […]
