This first week of April has shaped up to be a pretty good one over here! The sun has been shining. I paraded around in flip flops for most of the week. A nice lady gave me her cart at the grocery store, and when I tried to give her my quarter (I was at …
A secret ingredient gives these Trail Mix Cookies, loaded with pretzels, M & M’s, cashews, coconut, oats, and chocolate chips, the perfect cookie texture of soft with a little bite. Sometimes I think that homemade cookies might just be my very favorite dessert. I know that with all the ice cream, and pies, and brownies …
Simple creamy pesto tossed with cooked chicken and cashews is spread on thick sourdough and then toasted with provolone cheese and mushrooms for a crunchy, melty, warm, and delicious sandwich. Sandwiches have become a serious staple around here. Our house is packed chest-high with moving boxes right now and I have whittled my kitchen down …
Flour tortillas filled with sweet ricotta and dipped in an egg batter. These Berry Blintz Breakfast Enchiladas are like cheese blintzes meet enchiladas meet french toast covered in berries. This is one of those recipes that evolved as I made it. It started with brainstorming french toast ideas and realizing I had a stack of …
I think spring break is starting in some places around the country. Over here they make us wait until the week after Easter, but Tanya and I still put this one together with having kiddos home in mind. Vacation weeks are tricky in this house. No school kind of steals away the structure and there …
Red skinned potatoes tossed with olive oil and fresh herbs. These warm herbed potatoes are a great side with any meal and would be great at your Easter table! Also a happy addition to brunch. I have decided that I need a phone with buttons. I mean, I love my smart phone – don’t get …
Welcome to my lunch every day for the last week. Really — I’m not even exaggerating. I am totally addicted to this salad/dressing/hopeful spring-summer combo. I’m on a blackberry trip lately, and if you are too then you will also want to try the Easiest Blackberry Cobbler. It’s almost as fast as making a salad!
A cookies and cream cake covered in chocolate buttercream, rainbow sprinkles, and Birthday Cake Oreos. A perfect way to celebrate! I have a pretty big immediate family. I mean, I only have the two kiddos, but I also have two sisters and two brothers, plus everyone’s significant other. That makes for a LOT of birthdays …
Are things as nuts for you right now as they are over here? We have a zillion big field trips about to happen, after school activities, homework, projects, running, running, and more running! These little meal plans have been lifesavers for me lately – they totally give me an arsenal of ideas so when I …
Inspired by Carrabba’s Italian Grill’s Chicken Bryan, this roasted chicken is stuffed with goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and basil butter. Another sun dried tomato recipe so soon?! I know, I know. But hear me out. See, I made this chicken waywayway before I made this pizza.
