I feel like I should get some kind of award for actually making so much stuff I’ve pinned on Pinterest. I wonder how many crafty or recipe pins really get made? Probably not a high percentage. I’m happy to slowly start increasing that number…
Over two years ago (am I slow or what?), my friend Beth over at Eat. Drink. Smile. held a slow cooker contest and the winner was this Slow Cooker Thai-Style Peanut Pork. It sounds absolutely amazing and I’ve had it on my brain for…
I made these Mini Pancake Bites over the weekend and I had such good intentions of freezing them for quick breakfasts later on in the week. Somehow about half of them kept disappearing! They are addictive I tell you…and dangerous. They’re so tiny, you…
Last weekend, Mom and I took a few days off and headed to Chicago. It had been 10 years since our last visit and on that visit we planned poorly and weren’t prepared for their chilly April weather. It rained a lot, too. So…

I really got into Fall mode this past Sunday. Windows open and a pot of veggies simmering on the stove for soup. I’m a huge fan of Broccoli Cheese Soup, but it can easily get a little overboard in the calorie department. I found…
Fall is officially here, finally! For weeks I have refused to read any blog posts if they included pumpkin. I haven’t so much as looked at a Pumpkin Spice Latte and I’ve repeatedly told everyone to “slow their roll” on social media. The weather…
I should have dubbed this week “Ode to the October Issue of Cooking Light.” On accident, every post this week is from that issue…and I just received it in the mail last Sunday. I bookmarked so many recipes from it. I really want to…
Roasting vegetables is very high on my list of best ways to get your veggies in. It’s simple and it enhances their natural flavors, plus you can jazz it up with herbs and spices. Roasting asparagus is no different and it’s perfect with just…
So what the heck is Shakshuka, you ask? It’s an Israeli dish of eggs cooked in a tomato sauce or maybe you’ve heard of Eggs in Purgatory. You all know how much I cannot resist a meal topped with a delicious runny egg, so…
