Did you know you can re-grow some of your produce you buy at the store no matter what season it is? No need to waste money buying produce you can reproduce several times is there? I tried to grow green onions after hearing about it on Pinterest. I was amazed! I don’t have much of […]

Hemp-Flax Granola Bar Recipe
I am a big fan of granola bars. They are the perfect snack on the go and I love that I can take one with me in my bag or in the car for a good snack that gives me energy and temporarily curbs cravings. The only problem is, the ones sold in stores are […]
Chicken & Cheese Stuffed Shells
On of my family’s favorite meals is my Jumbo Shells stuffed with Chicken and Cheese. I don’t make it too often because it can be pretty time consuming, but it really is delicious and so worth the time and effort that goes into them. One thing you can do to make the process a lot […]
Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe
My family eats tacos like they are going out of style. What gets expensive (although it is not usually too bad if you can find it on sale) is the taco seasoning. To solve this problem, I started making my own and came up with this easy homemade taco seasoning recipe. It is really very […]
20 Minute Meal Idea: Curried Chicken and Rice
As a busy mom and wife, I am always on the hunt for meals I can just throw together when I am exhausted from work. Often times, as I hate to admit, if I am too tired, it becomes a “pizza night”. I feel guilt about this as I would love to make home cooked […]
Chicken Avocado Quesadillas
Just because Cinco De Mayo was yesterday, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy delicious Latin style foods all month, heck, all year long! I made a delicious quesadilla yesterday for my family to enjoy on the holiday. I want to share this with my readers and tell you about the wonderful products Goya has to help […]
Adding a Dash of Spice to Your Dishes with Beaverton Foods
Condiments are almost an essential part of any family’s pantry and fridge. There are so many to choose from these days and it can be hard to know which one is the best tasting and highest quality without spending a small fortune. Beavertoon foods, an Oregon based company, has always been one of my top […]
Kick Up Your Coffee Routine!
As a kid, I saw all adults drinking coffee. I figured it was just something adults did. I remember the first taste of coffee I had. I was 7 years old, I believe and my grandpa let me taste his coffee. I remember how bitter it was and how I didn’t like it. I have […]

Baked Spaghetti {Recipe}
My family loves all types of Italian foods. Admittedly, we are all carb-o-holics. This is why my diet has been so hard to stick to. (Although, I did lose 5.2 lbs the first week!) I make this meal on occasion when I need to whip something up quick and hearty. You can even use store […]
Warm Clam Chowder {Recipe}
I don’t “do” canned soup. I am kind of a soup snob, admittedly. I learned how to make my own soup when I attended Culinary Arts school and haven’t looked back. In fact, the only canned soup you will see me buying is for cooking in other recipes such as cream of mushroom. I don’t […]
Oreo Truffles {tutorial}
I made these last year and they were a huge hit at Christmas! They were actually requested for months by a former co-worker of my husband’s. I told him they were special and that I only make them at Christmas. These Oreo truffles are so simple, you could make this last minute and be the […]
A Gluten Free Delight- Asian Tofu Stir fry
I have close friends that eat gluten free and I thought it might be interesting to see how easy or rather hard it is to go gluten free so I can see their struggles. I made this gluten free tofu stir-fry to give it a whirl. Often, I see that Asian dishes lend themselves easily […]
