Mexican food is a big time favorite in my house. We have some variety at least once a week. And it seems that whenever I make tacos, I always have leftovers. Not enough really for another meal though. I hate throwing food away, leftovers especially. I mean, I already made all the stuff right? What… Continue reading Turkey Taco Cups
Leprechaun Rainbow Cupcakes
If you've seen any pictures of me, you know why I have to make special things for St. Patrick's Day. Pale skin, green eyes and freckles freckles everywhere. I missed out on the red hair though (darn you genetics!). In actuality I think I'm about an eighth Irish, but it is the heritage I associate… Continue reading Leprechaun Rainbow Cupcakes
Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies
You've heard me say frequently that I don't have a crazy passion for peanut butter and chocolate. Bizarre, I know. I feel this is a total deficiency of character. I would blame my maker, but I'm pretty sure He knew what was best for me in not giving me that particular food obsession. What God… Continue reading Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies

Buenos días! Buona Giornata! I love when I can combine my two favorite ethnic flavors. Mexican and Italian. It is molto bene AND muy bueno! This Tex-Mex Lasagna is full of the flavors of your favorite Spanish meal, but made with lasagna noodles instead of tortillas! It is yum, yummy. It is easily turned vegetarian… Continue reading Tex-Mex Lasagna
Apple Raisin Breakfast Bread
Breakfast can get boring easily. At least for me. I'm not a morning person. Actually, I'm currently blogging at 2am - so that should tell you something of my preference between day and night. Also, should make you cut me some slack if anything in this post makes no sense. Since I don't drink coffee,… Continue reading Apple Raisin Breakfast Bread
Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
I'm making peanut butter and chocolate for two reasons. I needed a snack to bring to conference championship weekend (it's a football thing - pretty much the best day in the NFL all year) and secondly, I don't really like peanut butter chocolate things. Since I'm trying to drop a few pounds, I need to… Continue reading Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
Cheesy Vegetable Chowder
(happy sigh) This chowder is heavenly. Full of broccoli and cheese and deliciousness. I made it on a snow day recently and just in the nick of time. Right after I took it off the stove and headed out to shovel some snow (with my belly full and warm of this amazing soup), my sister… Continue reading Cheesy Vegetable Chowder
Apple Pancake Rings
My kids love pancakes. I love pancakes. But I also want to give a little more nutrition at breakfast than what is essentially all doughy bready goodness...dipped in sugar. So when I saw this recipe, I thought I'd give it a try. My kids picked the cinnamon pancake from around the apples. Epic Mommy fail.… Continue reading Apple Pancake Rings

Are you sick of making casseroles with cream of *insert whatever has been creamed* soup? This broccoli chicken bake has a rich creamy sauce that you make yourself in just a few quick minutes. The taste is fantastic, similar to what you'd get with a condensed soup...but so much better. It has a crunchy buttery… Continue reading French Chicken Broccoli Supreme
