Looking for something fun to do with sweet potatoes I came across this recipe on EatingWell. That's all I needed to see. The seed was planted. Today I decided to make my own version which barely resembles the original recipe. I needed to use what I had on hand which [...]

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 [...]

There are a few meals that I forget about which make wonderfully easy, delicious family pleasing dinners. London Broil is one of them. London Broil is actually not a cut of meat although I always see packages of beef listed as such. I believe it's a cooking process. Generally I buy choice cuts that are [...]

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 [...]

Oh my WORD! I'm SO glad I made this even though I knew the husband and toddler would hate it. Have I mentioned the husband's unmanly trait of hating chili? Seriously I must be married to the only man in America who doesn't enjoy a bowl of chili. It's CHILI! Not only is he not [...]

I totally don't know what came over me this morning. I was hungry but I didn't have a big desire to cook yet i wanted something homemade, warm and satisfying. So I whipped this up with what I had on hand. Notice it required no produce prep. :) You could replace some of the spices [...]

I don't know what's up with me but I've been buying avocado. I don't like guacamole so I thought I'd try to come up with other ways to eat this healthy fruit (produce pick coming soon about it.) My first experiment , Avocado Lime Dressing, was tasty but this idea takes the cake. Here's the [...]

I knew I would have NO time to make dinner tonight so I grabbed a few cans and turned to my trusted Crock Pot. I have to admit, this is my new favorite veggie chili idea. I just threw everything in the pot and walked away. Next time I'll have a few more veggies [...]

I made this dish for a friend. That's right, I have sought out others to cook for since the husband is overall... BORING! I kid, but you know what I mean. I know his likes, and dislikes and it's fun considering someone else's. I guess you can say I'm food cheating. That's right [...]

Did I ever tell you guys how much I love bean dip. I mean really I LOVE it. I don't know if it's the texture or the spicy kick that gets me. All I do know... sit me down with a bag of tortilla chips and a jar of bean dip and I'm good for [...]

A lot of you know I’m a HUGE McDonald's Southwest Salad fan. It’s, by far, my favorite fast food salad.  The flavors are perfectly combined and, in my opinion, no dressing is necessary. So I set off to make a knock off home version. I wanted to for a while and [...]
