I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Dunkin’ Donuts. I received product samples to facilitate my In-Home party as well as a promotional item to thank me for participating. Did you know Dunkin’ Donuts makes coffees inspired by their famous donuts? The Dunkin’ Donuts Bakery Series coffees to be exact. […]
How The Hundred-Foot Journey Inspired Me to Really Cook
Photo credit: DreamWorks Pictures’ THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY I was recently invited to attend an early screening of the newest Dreamworks movie The Hundred-Foot Journey. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and you can read my review here. But just reviewing the movie didn’t seem like enough to me. You see, the movie really challenged me to re-think the […]
Easy Crepes Recipe and Scrambled Egg Tips
We love eggs in our family. In fact, we love them so much we often eat them for dinner. Well, brinner actually. In case you do not know, brinner is having breakfast for dinner. We do this sometimes and really enjoy eating biscuits and gravy, eggs, and other breakfast items anytime. Who says traditional breakfast food […]
Vegan Pudding Pops: Unbelievably Delicious!
I love homemade pudding. It easily makes my top five desserts, so in this summer heat I wondered if I could make my recipe into a pudding pop and keep all the rich and creamy flavor. Guess what? I can and I did (and dairy-free no less!). My friend Wendy is deathly allergic to dairy so […]
Easy Peach Turnovers
Every year we take the kiddos to a local farm to pick peaches. It is a fun tradition that results in many tasty treats and frozen peaches that last us all year long. It’s a sticky and rewarding activity. I would say more than half our peaches go to healthy eating, but the rest, we sugar those […]
Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken Skewers (and Tofu Skewers)
It used to baffle me that so many people saw summer as the prime barbecue season. Being an Arizona native the last thing I wanted to do in summer was stand in front of a hot grill in 122 degree weather cooking. But once I grew up and ran my own kitchen the summer grilling season […]
Red, White, and Blue Popsicles – Dye-free and All-Natural
I love popsicles. I really do! But it seems most traditional summer pops are laden with dyes and high fructose corn syrup. The good news is that you can put whatever you like into your own ice pop molds to create a tasty summer treat. The recipe below is pretty popular and not so new. I […]
Easy Guacamole Veggie Wrap #15MinuteSuppers
I love guacamole although I hated it most of my life. Now it seems that the more I eat it, the more I love it. I have recently come to the happy realization that guacamole does not have to be eaten just in Mexican food. Oh the possibilities! A recent trip to a deli had […]
Hatch Green Chile Crescent Rolls #15MinuteSuppers
I love green chiles but I don’t buy them as much as I would like because I don’t often have time to roast and seed them. So I was very happy when I found out I could order Hatch green chiles that were already roasted, seeded, and chopped. The Hatch Chile Store sent me ton […]
Resurrection Rolls: An Easter Object Lesson
Easter is my very favorite holiday. I love what it represents, the excitement of the season, and the anticipation of the children. My family is Christian and we keep the focus of our Easter season on the true meaning of Easter – the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It can be challenging to keep that focus […]
Old Fashioned Rabbit Stew
Hunting is a tradition in my family and something I want to pass down to my children (even though I rarely do it myself and am a vegetarian 95% of the time). There is something very satisfying about going out on a hunt and returning with that night’s dinner. It is a feeling you just […]
Quick and Easy Valentine’s Day Dessert Skewers
Valentine’s Day is a day of love and the less time you spend in the kitchen the better! But you do not need to go out to a fancy restaurant and spend too much money on food you can make better at home. Oh no. Instead, why not find something to make at home? […]
