Sausage balls have been a Christmas tradition for as long as I can remember. They were my favorite snack each year growing up and one of the first things I learned to make my first Christmas in my own home. We enjoy them every year while we decorate and put up the tree and for brunch on Christmas morning. It just wouldn’t […]
Our typical meal plan the last few months has seemed to consist of chicken, chicken, chicken, and more chicken. I’m not really sure why, we just seemed to have gotten in a chicken rut. Desperate for a change of pace, we added an all time favorite to the line up this week- spiral sliced ham! Ham is almost like a comfort food to […]
These popsicles are so creamy and delicious, I could eat them for every meal. OK, more specifically, breakfast. I ate them for breakfast. What? Don’t judge, they’re actually very healthy! It was the perfect start to the day, especially with some of my favorite zucchini bread! If you’re not a fan of avocados, don’t worry, you can barely taste it. They taste […]
I’ve discovered a few hidden talents this week! First, I can talk to cats! My Dad got a couple of kittens this weekend and the poor little things were just heartbroken and not eating. On a long shot, I decided to call to them like a momma cat. This wasn’t just an ordinary, half-hearted meow. It was a very distinct […]
Summer has just begun and we’re already in the middle of a heat wave. Temperatures in the high 90’s all week. That’s hot for this early in NC and we’re not ready! My facebook feeds have all turned to broken air conditioner posts and pictures of the thermometer gauges in peoples cars. It’s out of control. Meanwhile, we’ve still got lots […]
Now that fall is here I have really been wanting to go to the apple orchards. I blame pinterest really.. all of these delicious recipes and cute crafts for kids. Of course, then there is facebook, all of your friends posting their pics of fresh apple doughnuts, hot apple cider and kids smiling from ear to ear, apple in hand, under the […]
Well, it’s the last day of our National **Un-Official** Dip Week. Sad day, or at least it would be if I weren’t so excited about today’s recipe!! This mango salsa is SO good! It goes great with tortilla chips, cinnamon chips or as a topping for chicken, fish, and more. Served with tortilla chips this is a perfect snack- little sweet, little […]
Today’s recipe goes right along with this year’s National **Un-Official** Chip Dip theme – Guacamole! Now, I’m not going to lie, until this year I have never been a fan of the stuff. I guess somewhere along the way I had some at a restaurant where they didn’t know what they were doing and decided I wasn’t a fan. Sadly, […]
Day 2 of our National “Un-Official” Dip week! To go with yesterday’s delicious queso, today we’ve got some fresh pico de gallo! These two dips should always be made and enjoyed together! They are both so good and together, they remind me of the good ol’ days. Sitting around a table at a mexican restaurant drinking a half gallon of sweet tea, […]
Some of you may remember a week before Thanksgiving all I could think about was cheese dip. I really wanted to share this recipe then but I did good and I stayed on topic with holiday goodies. Now that the holidays are over and National **Un-Official** Dip Week is here I can’t wait to share it with you as promised! Once you try this cheese dip […]
Did you know that there is a National Pancake Week? How about National Oatmeal Month or Cheese Doodle Day? It’s true. Apparently there is a food (or several) recognized nationally for just about every single month, week and day of the year. Crazy right?! Yeah I still can’t wrap my brain around it.. you could start an entire blog just about observing […]
Cookies and Cocoa- these two holiday staples go hand in hand so today you get not one but TWO delicious recipes and gift ideas! Now, there’s only 1 catch.. neither are exactly “health” food but it’s Christmas, it’s ok to splurge a little right? Hot Cocoa Mix Ingredients 3 cups nonfat dry milk powder 2 cups powdered sugar 1 1/2 cups […]
Here we are just over a week away from Thanksgiving and all I can think about is cheese dip.. holiday-ish, right? I actually started a post on cheese dip yesterday, unfortunately having a sick toddler got in the way of that. Hopefully you’ll forgive me for not posting, I did post a little yummy treat for my facebook fans out there. Today […]
My husband needs to be part of a support group for chip lovers. Seriously- the man could sit down and eat an entire bag of chips in one sitting. Don’t get me wrong I love a good chip too, maybe even 1/4 of a bag depending on the mood, but how do you eat an entire bag of chips?? I’ve […]
My two year old LOVES strawberries! She never gets enough of them! We constantly hear “I want mur strawberries pleez”. I think she had about 10 at breakfast this morning. I’m not complaining, I would much rather her love fruit than all the other junk food that is out there for kids. There are times, however, when eating a delicious, juicy, red strawberry is […]
