Mediterranean Tortellini Salad
Loved this simple make ahead dish. I didn’t care for it cold, it was better warmed up, but either way it works out while you have a houseful of people and no time to cook. Mediterranean Tortellini Salad (Adapted from Diethood) Printer Friendly Version 1...
Gingerbread Play Dough
Are the kids driving you nuts yet being out of school? Keep them busy with this super easy gingerbread play dough. We originally tested this stuff at our co-op we are a part of. It smells FANTASTIC and doesn't crumble and make a mess like store bought play dough. My...
Snowmen and Reindeer Doughnuts
Make Christmas morning extra special with these easy doughnuts you can do ahead of time. I simply used mini M&M’s, mini chocolate chips and pretzels to make the snowmen and reindeer.
Mock Eggnog Recipe
Tis the season for things like eggnog, but when you have an egg allergy or you are pregnant you miss out on this holiday treat. Luckily there’s recipes like this out there, and after giving it a try it’s actually pretty good and you don’t miss the eggy taste in there....
Tacky Sweater Chirstmas Party/Baby Shower
I love a good fun party! The ladies in the picture with me above have to be one of the best group of ladies I’ve ever co-hosted a party with ever! Stress-free, and a whole lot of fun makes for a great party. We had the pleasure of throwing a baby shower for 2 of the...
Snowman String Cheese
This is super cute and easy to do for a party or snack for the kiddos. You can even tie a piece of string, yarn or ribbon around the neck like a scarf too. I just used different color markers to draw on the face and buttons.
Gingerbread Cheesecake Dip
My sister in law made this for Christmas last weekend and it was really good. It's a nice option for all the desserts around the holidays. Gingerbread Cheesecake Dip(Adapted from Food, Folks and Fun) Printer Friendly Version1 8-ounce package cream cheese,...
BBQ Pot Roast over Cheddar Ranch Grits
The cooler weather is rolling in and with a busy schedule crockpot meals are the way to go. I really welcomed the change of using grits instead of rice. My only complaint was the ranch was too strong, I would cut back to just a sprinkle or to taste. I also forgot to...
Reindeer Sandwich
I made this for Travis’ lunch to talk about Rudolph and he got a real kick out of it. I used pretzels for the antlers, raisins for the eyes and an M&M for the red nose. I would have used a strawberry, but I didn’t have any on hand.
Lemon Garlic Orzo Soup
I’ve seen a few orzo soup recipes, but this is the first time I’ve tried one. It’s a big winner in my house. Not only is it full of flavor it’s really hardy and filling. I highly recommend giving this one a go this season, you won’t be disappointed! Lemon Garlic Orzo...
One Pot Wonder Cajun Chicken Alfredo
One pot dishes make life so much easier so why not? The only suggestion I have is amp up the seasoning. Also if you can use a sodium free chicken stock I recommend it. I doubled the recipe and it was too salty and under seasoned. If you make those adjustments it...
Christmas Theme Breakfast for Kids (or Adults)
Last year I made these for my little boy and my husband and they got a big kick out of it. There’s not really a recipe I just added some green food coloring to the waffle batter before baking them then cut them into 4 sections. Next you dot with chocolate chips and...
