So, summer is more than half over for us and while errands with my kids are a LITTLE bit easier than when they were really young, going to the grocery store is still sometimes stressful because I know they are going to ask for a lot of things that we don’t normally get. The following is an ...
Easy Pad Thai Recipe
Pad Thai is so easy to make, even kids can help to make it! This easy Asian recipe for Pad Thai comes together in just 15 minutes for Asian takeout, made at home. I am excited to be participating in another #SundaySupper event this week! My first time was only two weeks ago, and although I’ve ...
Ginger Garlic Broccoli
We’ve been having so much fun with the Eating the Alphabet Challenge. If you’re new here, the idea is that each month I and other bloggers choose a fruit, vegetable or legume/grain to cook with that starts with a different letter of the alphabet. Each month is a different set of letters and this ...
Easiest Ever Slowcooker Rotisserie Chicken
A few weeks ago I bought two 5 lb. chickens from the local FFA. They were quality chickens at a great price! But I’ll admit, I was a little intimidated by the idea of cooking a WHOLE chicken. A couple of years ago a friend of mine, who had been to culinary school for a short time, showed me how to ...
Better For You – Grating Your Own Parmesan Cheese

By the time I’ve made dinner for my family and usually a side or two, I’m just ready to eat! Making salad just seems like so much work. And since I stopped buying bag salads several years ...
Beef, Arugula and Spinach Lasagna
I’m not going to lie. When I first saw this recipe and that it called for arugula, I was a little unsure. Arugula can have such a strong flavor—and I’m not really a big fan. But I decided to give it a go since we like lasagna and all the other ingredients called for in this recipe. I went to the ...
Chipotle Sloppy Joes with Crunchy Coleslaw
Remember over the holidays I blogged about some yummy beef recipes I made for my family? Well, I’m doing it again for the Texas Beef Council and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ll tell you why. It’s not mystery that we love beef in our house, but seeing as we like to eat a variety of things, I had ...
