Dinner time is a special time in our house. I especially look forward to this time because I get to talk with the whole family and we just share everything about our day -- the good and the bad! It seems like dinner time is the only time that we have where we are all seated together and things are somewhat calm. Before dinner, it's the rush of … [Read more...]
My children absolutely love pizza. If given the opportunity, I'm sure they would eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But if I can be perfectly honest here, I'm getting bored of the same 'ol round pizza with pepperoni and cheese. So I decided to do something about it. When I still lived at home, my parents used to stock the freezer with pizza … [Read more...]
Okay, let's face it. Sometimes getting kids to eat healthy can present quite a challenge. For example, wheat bread. Some brands are just downright dry and tasteless and I don't blame the little people for not wanting to eat it. That's why I love Sara Lee Iron Kids! Sara Lee Iron Kids is a more nutritious white bread that offers as much … [Read more...]
The other day I shared a recipe for Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies with Peppermint that was just perfect for the holidays. Now I'm sharing just plain 'ole Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies, well, because they were just THAT good. I'm pretty sure you'll be seeing more recipes from me in 2012 because my new KitchenAid Stand Mixer is quickly … [Read more...]
When I was pregnant with my third child, I read something somewhere that made a claim that if while you were pregnant and you were vegetarian, it was better for your child in utero and that your children would be smarter. Being the over-emotional mess that I was when I was pregnant, I made the declaration to my husband that I was going to be a … [Read more...]
You know you've all been there -- nights where you have no idea where the day went and you have multiple sets of big eyes staring at you with that famished look on their faces. On nights like that, I often go for a tried and true, quick and easy recipe like Tater Tot Casserole. I like recipes like this one, because I always have the … [Read more...]
In case you didn't already know, I'm all about easy to make meals. Being a mommy to three young children, working part-time, plus having the blog which requires full-time hours, some nights I just don't have the time or energy to create the family a nice, elaborate meal. Those are the nights I love that I have VELVEETA® and RO*TEL® in the … [Read more...]
Since I'm in the holiday mood, I decided to make some cookies. I wanted something that was a little festive but that still screamed chocolate chip. So, I made some Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies and added a little festive flare by beating some candy canes with a meat tenderizer and sprinkling over the top of the cookies as soon as they came … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by Avocados from Mexico. All opinions are 100% mine. It wasn't until about two years ago that I decided to be brave enough and try avocados. Since then, I've been hooked. My daughter also loves avocados and most of the time we eat them as a snack, sliced with just a sprinkle of Tony Chachere Original Seasoning. … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by Carapelli. All opinions are 100% mine. One of my favorite things about dining out at an Italian restaurant is the olive oil dipping sauce with fresh baked bread. Oh my yum! Most of the time I end up eating so much bread that I don't have room to eat my meal, but that's okay, it makes for a great lunch the next … [Read more...]
