Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cake Mix Cookies One of my favorite things about the holiday season is baking. I bake more in the holiday months than throughout the entire year. There's just something about the cooler weather, fresh baked cookies or bread and a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate. I also love delivering baked goodies to neighbors and friends. Each year, I start to make a list of things I plan on baking from during the holidays over the summer. Sounds crazy, but it saves me a lot of time during this busy time of year. I usually do this on Pinterest, pinning to a secret holiday ... read more
Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Happy second day of fall friends! I'm that girl who becomes giddy when the first pumpkin spice products hit the aisles come the beginning of September. I go overboard with the pumpkin candles, soap, treats, body wash, hand sanitizer and more. I love it. I look forward to it. It's my FAVORITE time of the year. Something else that comes along with the pumpkin spice products is the baking in my house. I love it. This past weekend, AG asked to make cookies. That is one thing I'll NEVER say no to, so I decided to celebrate fall starting with pumpkin cookies. Over the years, I've made tons of ... read more
Crock Pot Tailgate Snack Mix
Football season is officially here. This past weekend, we headed to our first USF football game. We've had season tickets for the past 10 years, it's something we look forward to all year long. The only thing missing around here is the cooler tailgate weather! Before kids, I would go all out for tailgates. Dips, bites, sweets...you name it. I'd spend Saturday morning planning what I'm going to bring, then I'd head to the store to do some shopping. After that, home to cook and get ready for the game. These days I don't have as much time to get tailgate ready. Saturdays with kids looks much ... read more
Easy Egg Muffins
I'm all about quick and easy breakfast options in the morning. In the past, I would grab some sort of protein bar. But, after really looking into the ingredients in many of them, the sugar was really high. So, I started looking for a better for me breakfast option. I remember seeing egg muffins all over the place but really wasn't sure they'd be good leftover in the mornings. I figured they were worth a try, so I added the ingredients I usually like in an omelet to my grocery list and finally made them last week. Not only was I amazed with how easy they were, they were delicious. Full of ... read more
30 Dinners in 20 Minutes or Less
Last month, I talked all about meal planning. It's one thing that (if done) makes my evenings run smooth. On the days meals are planned, I'm not running around frantically around 5pm wondering what I can throw together for dinner. I'm not calling hubs to grab something from the store or takeout on the way home. My goal is to cook dinner 4 nights a week. Cooking is something I enjoy and I want dinner to be ready when hubs gets home. While this doesn't happen every night, one thing that helps put dinner on the table is choosing easy meals to make. Around 5pm, I finish up work and head ... read more
Mediterranean Dip
Over the weekend, we had friends over to celebrate the holiday. While we absolutely love hosting our friends and family, having a lot of people at your house can be a little stressful. The cleaning before, the cooking/ prepping food all day and of course the clean up. My least favorite part for sure. Over the years, I've figured out things to do that takes a lot of the stress out of hosing a party. One of the most important things for me when it comes to easy hosting is keeping it simple. Simple recipes, simple decor, simple drinks, etc. I save my elaborate recipes to make when we visit ... read more
Italian Pork Chops
Do you know what your'e having for dinner tonight? If not, I have a recipe you can quickly add to the menu and make for dinner! When planning my meals for the week, I always add some kind of pork to the menu. I usually find it on sale, therefore always have some in the freezer. While it wasn't my favorite meat growing up, it's definitely one of my favorites as an adult. I love how easy it is to make. All you really have to do is find a way to coat it and throw it into the oven or on a skillet. Even though I make it weekly, I try to change up how I coating to keep the dish from getting ... read more
Chili Corn Dip
Over Memorial Day weekend, we headed to a friends house to celebrate. It was one of those parties that leave you looking forward to the next year. Epic. A huge inflatable water slide for the kids, slip and slide for the adults (which hubs won by the way,) swimming, music and food. Lots and lots of food and of course, the drinks were flowing. While there was tons of food to enjoy, there was one dip I couldn't keep my chips out of. I cannot even tell you how many times I went back to add more onto my plate. It was just that good. Addicting. From looking at it, I knew there was corn, green onion ... read more
S’mores Brownie Bites
Whenever I think about s'mores, I think of summertime. The two go hand in hand. During the summer months, you can always find chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows in our pantry. The only problem is we live in Florida. Bonfires and fire pits aren't too popular in the heat of summer, which leaves s'mores to be made in the microwave or through other creative recipes. While I'm not knocking a good microwaved s'mores, I love using the three key ingredients to create sweet treats. This past weekend we headed over to a friends house for a seafood boil. I offered to bring an appetizer and ... read more
{gluten free} All American Snack Mix
Holiday snack mixes have become a tradition around our house. I'm a lover of all holidays and any reason to celebrate. This also includes being a sucker when it comes to all things festive in the stores, including special cereals, candies and decor. To make sure I can easily throw together a festive snack mix, I always stock up Chex cereal when it's on sale or I have a coupon from Publix, since it's the main ingredients in a good snack mix. With the 4th of July right around the corner, I decided to share an easy recipe for an All American Snack Mix. Best of all this snack mix is gluten free. ... read more
