I have been looking for a no-fail, easy homemade granola bar recipe for a few weeks now. Fall is coming and my sweet Madison is starting Kindergarten. How did that happen so fast? I blinked and suddenly she was 5. Crazy. I cannot wait for after school snack time. I remember that being the best… Continue reading No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
Maple Grilled Salmon
Have you ever given up something you love because of someONE you love more? Some people quit smoking, drinking or gambling. Others become a slightly less obsessed sports fan because the knucklehead they are married to just doesn't understand and can't get on board. Not that I would know anything about that last one. My… Continue reading Maple Grilled Salmon
Captain Hook’s Favorite Breakfast
My kids discovered a new joke this week. I've heard it about 100 times in the past few days. It goes like this: Just in case you didn't catch that, here's the dialogue. Madison: What is Captain Hook's favorite kind of breakfast? Donovan: I dunno. Madison: Peter Pan-cakes! <insert hilarious laughter here> Oh yes, the… Continue reading Captain Hook’s Favorite Breakfast
Pepperoni Pizza Poppers
Dun-dun-dun-dun. Ba-ba, ba-ba. (drums) Dun-dun-dun-dun!! Ba-ba, ba-ba! What? Don't recognize that? Hmmm. I may be overreaching the bounds of my regular viewing audience here. Let's try this. That's right! It's back! Football season! Woo-hoo! Tonight is the return of Monday Night Football and I couldn't be more pleased. My husband can't wait until February 2013… Continue reading Pepperoni Pizza Poppers
Superman
If you've been looking for a drink that will make you feel like a superhero, this is it. A drink to make you think you can leap tall buildings in a single bound (or at least lawn furniture). You'll be partying at speeds faster than a speeding bullet and do push ups to show you're… Continue reading Superman
Braided Spaghetti Bread
I totally need to go to the grocery store. Big time. I've been stalling for days. I don't know why. Maybe because in the summer all I want to eat is fruit. Or maybe I just needed something to procrastinate about that would make me actually fold the 5 loads of clean laundry sitting on… Continue reading Braided Spaghetti Bread
Summer Slaw
In the summer, there are lots of opportunities to bring salads and slaws to BBQs. I recently brought a sweet & sour apple slaw (light & delicious) and of course there's always my standby Chinese chicken salad (perfection!) if I'm not sure what to bring. Last weekend I wanted to make something close to a… Continue reading Summer Slaw
Copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks
I'm not sure if this is really a secret or not. Let me pretend that I'm the first person to ever tell you this anyway. You can make breadsticks that taste just like your favorite unlimited basket at the Olive Garden. It's true. And, it is not hard. Really, it is too easy. Cause, I… Continue reading Copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks
Black Bean Vegetable Soup
Do you ever come back from a few days away and just want a homey, simple meal? I always seem to need a food break after a trip. I spent last weekend camping at my Nanny's cabin. It is my favorite place on earth because there's no cell service, no tv, no internet and a… Continue reading Black Bean Vegetable Soup
English Muffin Pizzas
These little pizzas will forever remind me of slumber parties. Growing up, this was the standard dinner fare for all things involving a gaggle of giggling girls in their jammies (I wish jammies started with a "g"). You can make dozens at a time and everyone can pick their favorite toppings. It is awesome when… Continue reading English Muffin Pizzas
