Can we talk breakfast?

I always start the school year with a bang and make great breakfasts for the kids. Then October comes, and we have resorted to ready-made oatmeal, frozen waffles and bowls of cereal. Fast forward to January, and I won’t even tell you what we are eating for breakfast. But, let’s be realistic; getting out of bed for a bowl of cold cereal when its 10 degrees outside isn’t really enticing. So it’s time to up my game and add a few more items to my standbys. I’m a sucker for oatmeal, especially when it’s cold out. And since I always have blueberries on hand, this Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is perfect addition to our breakfast rotation….

Meat and Cheese Stromboli

Consider this Meat and Cheese Stromboli the way I happily justify feeding pizza to my family twice in one week. It’s true that stromboli is merely pizza in rolled up form, but somehow I feel better calling it by another name if we’ve already reached our takeout pizza quotient for the week. (No, I didn’t…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars

Need a dessert for the big game? Look no further! These chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars have a double dose of peanut butter and are party ready in 30 minutes! I have a confession to make: I throw desserts out. Can you believe it? You may already know that I truly dislike leftovers of any…

Cheesy Chile Chicken Dip

Nothing says party like a bag of chips and this warm Cheesy Chile Chicken Dip! I have no problem admitting that I watch the Super Bowl primarily for the ads and the halftime entertainment. Very rarely do I have any investment in either participating team. But that doesn’t mean I’ll miss the opportunity to hang out…

Ranch Chipotle Chicken Wings

Super Bowl Sunday is all about the food and the commercials, right? Ranch Chipotle Chicken Wings are a win – no matter who you are cheering for on Super Bowl Sunday. There’s something that makes me love a food even more when it is completely socially acceptable, if not expected, for you to eat with your…

Tequila Old Fashioned

Need a cocktail for your upcoming Super Bowl party? You can’t go wrong with this Tequila Old Fashioned. Full disclosure: I was inspired to recreate this recipe at my nine-year old’s birthday party. Honestly, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Granted, there have been days when Grady has driven me to imbibe at 5pm,…

Easy Lasagna

Nothing warms the soul more than comfort food. And this Easy Lasagna is at the top of my comfort food list! We all make resolutions to eat a little healthier every January, don’t we? But with the deep freeze that has been happening here lately, eating a salad for dinner just isn’t appealing. Don’t get…

Edamame Hummus

Makeover your usual veggie dip with this protein-packed Edamame Hummus. I think I should move to Italy. Or Spain. Actually any place where they practice mid-afternoon siestas or riposos (or just plain ol’ naps). You see, I have this terrible habit of getting suuuuuper sleepy right around the time the kids get home. Seems counterintuitive,…
