If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...]

It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...]

Or what I like to call Dessert Hummus. Kim, the same Kim who sent me the banana soft-serve link, has done it again. In my inbox sat this link to Cookie Dough Dip on ChocolateCoveredKatie.com. As soon as I saw it I HAD to try it. I jumped up [...]

I've been OBSESSED with cheese lately, craving it something fierce. Now, you may be thinking… what's the big deal? Just eat some cheese. But I'm here to tell you, I have a cheese problem. Once I start, I can't stop. Don't laugh. I'm SERIOUS! I haven't bought a block of cheese in nearly 6 years [...]

I realize this is a little late for a 4th of July idea, but the little Guy and I had so much fun yesterday morning I just had to share. Continuing with my boxed cake mix experiments, I had an idea for a fun striped 4th of July treat using raspberries, yogurt, and blueberries. The concept is [...]

I totally stole this idea from my friend Carrie who had the most beautiful rainbow fruit kabobs at her daughters birthday party. They were GORGEOUS and so FUN! I immediately imagined the Little Guy and I making them together. What a fun way to get your little one to have fun in the kitchen while learning [...]

Ok, I've been trying to get this post up for days but I just haven't had the brain power. Blame the baby. He's still demanding to be fed every two hours. ;) I kid but seriously, I'm sorry for the lack of posts. Please expect the frequency of ideas to be a little weak for at [...]

I'm not claiming this idea to be "healthy" so please, all crazy health nuts need not comment. The idea here is to have a little fun with the kids, celebrate a holiday by making something green (without taking all day or making a huge mess), and possibly adding a few extra vitamins into the [...]

Confession time. When I was a kid I LOVED Easy Cheese. That cheese "stuff" found in a can that you can squirt in fun patterns onto crackers. You know.... this stuff. And yes... I have squirted it directly in my mouth on more than one occasion. Come on. Fess up. YOU have too! ;) Even though [...]

The husband is a wing FANATIC! So of course what is he preferred Super Bowl meal? And how do you normaly get wings? UGH. I'm SO tired of battling him on the EATING OUT thing! Instead, I convinced him to let me cook this year's Super Bowl food. My approach was a flavorful wings that [...]

I get too giddy about food. It's sad. It really is. There is nothing I enjoy more then the challenge of looking in the fridge and coming up with something fun to eat. The creative aspect of it is as satisfying if not MORE satisfying then the eating aspect. Seriously, I'm a freak. Today I [...]

Little Guy and I created a new tradition tonight! A simple pumpkin cake using a store bought cake mix, canned pumpkin and a standard ice cream cone. We got the idea after seeing this. I'll put the directions below the video. For those who've watched our prior video... Little Guy brings back the tree in his [...]

I'm prefixing these with "Vegan" not because I'm marketing them as such but because it immediately warns you that they are untraditional. I have no issues with Vegan desserts. If anything, I find them fascinating because they push the envelope and prove you can make yummy healthy things without the traditional loads of butter, eggs [...]

OK, who am I kidding, this should be called the "Not At All Homemade Chocolate Banana Bundt with Chocolate Glaze" but "Almost" sounded better. ;) Here's the story.... I had a craving. I woke up Saturday with an itch to bake something chocolate. There was only one problem. No flour. None. Zip. ZERO. I used my [...]

It's Peach and Raspberry season here in Maryland and I'm psyched that both are bountiful in my local grocery stores. They are less expensive then normal and taste absolutely DIVINE! I've been enjoying them straight up but this morning I decided to experiment and make an in season dessert idea. It's cobbler inspired but uses [...]

I made this simple salad on a whim today. Gina totally inspired me with her Shrimp Salad on Cucumber Slices. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make something to serve on cucumber slices. It's a GENIUS idea! So that's what I did today with a single serve salmon pack. I [...]

Have I ever confessed my LOVE of cheese and crackers to you? Give me a hunk of cheese (cheddar, jack, muenster, whatever,) a knife, some crackers and I'm in heaven. I like it so much I stopped buying blocks of cheese. I'm serious! I can't be trusted with them in the house. I can [...]

Believe me, I know, the title of this idea scares me too! First of all there's a vegetable in there not many of us are familiar with (kohlrabi) and then I'm mixing one of natures most amazing fruit (at least I think so), the watermelon with cheese. Not any cheese but FETA. Yeah.. my [...]

This is a semi-homemade style Sloppy Joe recipe I whipped up for small party I was having today. I wasn't in the mood to do a complete from scratch but I can't possibly serve a meal without veggies (it's just not in my blood ;) so this was a quick compromise. To my surprise... [...]

We got a little festive today and revisited an old favorite of ours, Yelatin. It's what we call the combination of jell-o (gelatin) and yogurt. We first experimented with it for St. Patricks day and then had fun mixing colors in a fun mold. This year we tried some new egg molds Grandma gave us [...]

Last night was taco night! I love family taco night. It's super fast and easy to make lighter and healthier by adding tons of veggies. You can check out some of my tricks by clicking here for my basic Taco Night post or click here to watch my taco night video. With the tacos I [...]

Let me start this post by saying, I didn't even know what Tabouli (Tabbouleh) was about a year ago. I had some at a party last year and the cafeteria at my new job has it all the time. I believe it's traditionally bulgur, parsley, mint, tomato, onion, lemon juice and olive oil. But unfortunately [...]

It's Christmas Eve! YAY! I actually made this up yesterday, snapped the most awesome shots of the little guy eating it and then accidently deleted them off the camera. :( So I decided to make it again this morning. It came out even better when I discovered dipping graham crackers in it was a little [...]

Sometimes I just get craving and last night was one of those times. After recording a video for Roni's Weigh I took my hand at an idea I've had for some time. Could I use won ton wrappers as crusts for mini apple pies? Well, I'm happy to say, the answer is YES! I can't believe [...]

I'm a HUGE fan of baked tortilla chips. Nothing beats a big ol' bowl of salsa and a bag baked chips. That was until... I found my new friends Baked Scoops! These are basically a baked plan tortilla chip shaped into a bowl. I mean COME ON! Nothing is screaming to be made into an [...]
