Are there foods you loved as a kid and now your more-mature self knows better? (I’m looking’ at you Spaghetti Os.) Hopefully there are some foods that, although shunned by your childish taste buds, you now include on your weekly menu. (Can we say green smoothie?) Evan as an adult, my tastes are still evolving…
Spinach-Stuffed Grilled Tomatoes
Just when I thought I knew my own food likes and dislikes, along comes this recipe for spinach-stuffed grilled tomatoes. On a normal day, you would never catch me saying “Hmmmm, I’d really like to sink my teeth into a nice, juicy tomato, stuffed with fresh, green spinach. Ooh, a grilled tomato sounds good. If…
15 Minute Super Nachos
If you’ve been following along with my 15 Minute Meals series, you are aware that I’m in a very busy season of life. We put our house on the market and got two offers on the first day! Woo hoo! Now we have to do all that paper work, get inspections and appraisals, and pack,…
15 Minute Meals: Week 3
It’s Monday evening and I had wanted to get this week’s 15 minute meal plan out to you at least by this morning if not yesterday! I just know you’ve been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for my next meal plan… and my big news. (Okay, really I know you haven’t,…
March Menu: 15 Minute Meals Week 1
If you’re a busy mom, you know that sometimes life comes at you fast, you get busy, and you have to adjust your plans and do things differently for a while. That time has come for me, and it’s messing with my meal planning system. I’ve got something in the works that is keeping me…
Smooth & Creamy Peanut Butter Pie
Yes, I have a thing against Cool Whip. Yes, this pie actually has a crust that my camera somehow missed. No… I didn’t save you a piece. I’m sorry. It was too good. Even my family didn’t get much of it. It was pretty amazing. The first thing I love about this pie is that,…
Oven Roasted Lemon-Greek Chicken
This. This is what took the stress out of my Sunday morning this week. I woke up knowing that this gorgeous Oven Roasted Lemon Greek Chicken was all prepared in the fridge and ready to pop into the oven. No worries about finding something to feed everyone when we returned from church. Ah… such a…
Blueberry Sweet Rolls with Lemon Glaze
This has got to be one of the sweetest ways to wake up. Not that these Blueberry Sweet Rolls are all that sweet, it’s just a beautiful thing to wake up to on a Saturday morning. They also make a wonderful gift. From teacher gifts at Christmas, to welcoming a new neighbor, to blessing a…
Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Bars
Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, but I don’t actually eat it very often. It’s expensive to buy and not the easiest thing to make. For the most part, I prefer my cheesecake plain, or maybe with a few strawberries. When you go adding a bunch of other stuff (like caramel, yuck) you lose…
Creamy Chicken & Peppers With Rice
Everyone needs some Chicken and Rice once in a while. It’s not only easy and quick, but it’s also comfort-in-a-dish AND, it’s kid-friendly. But I got a little bored with the standard chicken and rice a few months ago. So I added some green pepper and onion. I was surprised how much it changed the…
