Thank you to Norm’s Farms for sending me a selection of their delicious Elderberry products to try in my home for a review. All opinions and words are my own. When I first started making some of my own snacks here at the house (granola bars are my specialty), I just know I would have […]

‘Cheezy’ Taco Popcorn with a hint of Lime
This post is sponsored by Malaysian Palm Oil and is through Mom’s Meet. All opinions are my own. I carefully select brands I know my readers will love! I’m just gonna put it out there; two things I could never live without are popcorn and cheese. I literally eat popcorn several times a week and […]
Chocolate Covered Cherry Smoothie Recipe
This is a sponsored post. I have been sent multivitamins, nutrient booster powders and swag from MegaFood in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. For many of us, eating a balanced diet is not only challenging, but almost impossible with our busy lives. Even if you think you are doing enough, […]
Hamburger Casserole
I remember the first time I heard of the #Labels4Edu (Labels for Education) program as a child. I was in elementary school and my class was told about collecting Campbell’s Labels for Education from their soup cans so we could get money for our school. It was so exciting to feel like I was helping […]
A Lazy King Cake Recipe
I have been a little New Orleans obsessed since I went there a couple of months ago. Being that I was raised Catholic for a period of time, I knew essentially what Mardi Gras was essentially about, but it wasn’t until I visited Mardi Gras world there that I learned much more and I became […]

Vegan Sushi Recipe
I make a mixture of vegan and vegetarian recipes here along with meat ones. This is because we like to eat a variety of foods and there are many different diets here as my husband and I try to eat ‘healthy’ (a very broad term that we have defined for ourselves to basically mean less […]
Low Carb Pumpkin Treats
It’s almost fall! For many people, that means its pumpkin season. Stores and brands start going nuts with pumpkin spice flavored stuff and although I personally am not a huge fan of pumpkin stuff, I have to admit, I do enjoy the scent of pumpkin spice goodies baking in the oven. I also own several […]
DIY Mozzarella Cheese Recipe
DIY Mozzarella Cheese Recipe I wish I lived in the country and could have chickens, a huge garden and a few other animals. I dream of homesteading. For now, though, I am stuck in the city in a small apartment so I have to make the best of it. One of my favorite […]

Instant Pot Dill Pickle Potato Salad
There are a couple of things I am very spoiled with. First, I grew up with a mom that is an amazing cook. The other is because of who she was. I got to eat homemade potato salad far more than I had to eat that stuff in the deli of your local grocery store. […]
#ad Strawberry Peach Wine Slushie
Most seasons bring up a few foods and moods that seem to stick to them. For me, summer is all about fresh fruit, wine and any kind of BBQ food I can enjoy. It’s about cool evenings, time spent outdoors and travel for me. While I would love to travel across the seas this […]
Love The Earth Cookies
For many people, Earth Day (April 22 this year) is just another day. For someone like me that has a bit of a hippie in them, earth Day is an important holiday and one that I actually love celebrating. While I totally believe in the mantra, “Earth Day, Every Day”, I also love that this […]
Tacos al Pastor in the Crock Pot
This past Cinco de Mayo, I made this dish and it was a big hit with my family. Traditionally, Tacos al Pastor is made on a spit over coals and slow cooked all day that way with an herb rub. Since I live on a 3rd floor balcony, this isn’t really an option for me, […]

Instant Pot Winter Vegetable Soup Recipe
I got my Instant pot for Christmas. I am officially in the legion of Instant Pot lovers. It seems almost like some secret society that isn’t very secret that you join when you buy an Instant Pot and only then do you get it. I have to say, folks, the Instant Pot is changing […]
Instant Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
It’s still in the thick of soup season and although I know cream based soups are defiantly more full of calories than a broth variety, I love them. Sometimes, there is nothing better than a good hearty soup on a cold winter day. I bought an instant pot last year during Black Friday and I […]
Homemade Hazelnut Chocolate Spread Recipe (Homemade Nutella)
When it comes to holiday food, nothing says it better than decadent chocolate goodies. One of these is Nutella (hazelnut chocolate spread). While hazelnut spread has gotten cheaper over the years, I always like to try to make as much as I can homemade as it contains no preservatives and I know what is […]
Muddled Berry Fizz
I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links I’m not much for drinking adult beverages, but when I do, I like to be fancy about it. This means you usually won’t find me drinking a boring […]
