A lot of great things have happened since I started this blog.  I get to share my recipes with all of you, get to have a creative outlet, something that is ‘just for me’ which is so important being a stay at home mom, I also get to help support my family a little with […]

        I saw a version of this salad on Food Network one night and knew we had to try it ourselves!  What is not to love about a salad filled with gobs of ranch dressing, cheese, french fries and steak?  Seriously!  Even my salad hating hubby had seconds of this one!  Give […]

We were SO happy to usher in SPRING LIKE weather this weekend!  We had our very first picnic of the season.  This Cherry-Pecan Chicken Salad hit the spot!  It is addictive!  I love that it only has 5 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to throw together.   I made it the night before […]

Corn & Avocado Salad          I simply can NOT say enough good stuff about this salad!  In fact, what little was left over after dinner, I just finished off, scooping it up as a dip with tortilla chips!  It was my daughter’s first time trying avocado and she loved it as much as […]

Y’all, I have eaten this salad for lunch every day for the past week.  It is SO addictive.  It makes a fantastic starter to any ‘date night in’ dinner or you could throw some marinated grilled chicken over the top and call it a meal!  It’s got chunks of honey crisp apples, dried cherries, glazed […]

   So I am the crazy lady that heads to the grocery store with a meticulously itemized grocery list that coincides with the menu plan that I stick on my fridge every week.  I also happen to be a marketers dream that sees a new product and buys one in every flavor.  (by the way, […]

I am very fortunate that my daughter loves vegetables.  The only veggies she doesn’t like are lettuce and black olives.  Seeing as she eats anything else, I have zero problems with allowing lettuce and black olives to be ‘not her thing’.  Because of this, a lot of the time, we use spinach and/or kale as […]

Good morning!  Today I am sharing one of my all time favorite salads.  I was hesitant to blog this recipe because I have never made it the exact same way twice, but ultimately decided it was just too yummy not to include!  I am OBSESSED with the dressing in this salad.  You can definitely adjust […]

            This is our new favorite weeknight meal!  It seriously comes together in 20 minutes and is so tasty, we have had it 3 times over the past few weeks!  I came up with the idea to stir fry the chicken because I forgot to marinade the chicken for grilling […]

      We eat a lot of ground beef.  It is relatively inexpensive and can be used in so many different types of family friendly recipes like some of our favorites: Enchiritos, 3 Meat Chili, Preacher’s Macaroni Casserole, and Easy Italian 3 Meat Penne Pasta.  Ground beef is like a blank canvas to us busy […]
