The many adventures of a working mom, having fun and running around like a chicken without a head
Tonight I did Kitchen Challenge, Day 1: Use a spice you’ve never used. My spice choice was marjoram. I’ll admit that I had no idea what it tasted like. I actually had to look it up and found out that it is very similar to oregano. Here’s a great website to learn more about it.Continue reading “Winner, Winner, Chicken (Sausage) Dinner”
My adventure on Noom and my new healthy lifestyle continues. (if I was saying this out loud I would’ve used air quotes around healthy lifestyle) And as I continue to Noom right along, I’m learning how to better use my very limited calories to the ensure I’m satisfied from not only a hunger standpoint butContinue reading “Snacking Healthy: Salted Chocolate Coconut DeLight”
Every time I cook cornbread, Garen and I have a little giggle over the quote “You gonna eat yo cornbead?” from the movie “Life” with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. Yes, I am ALWAYS going to eat my cornbread. Every. Time. Especially if it’s the sweet kind. I found this wonderfully tasty and easy recipeContinue reading “You gonna eat yo cornbread??? Best. Cornbread. Ever.”
As I said in my last post on Salted Caramel Pretzel Brownies, we had friends over for Nacho Night last night. That definitely called for sangrias. I looooove sangrias! So I whipped some up. Or maybe I should say: I bought some sangria and fruit and put them together. So here’s my “recipe” since myContinue reading “Super Easy Sangrias for a Crowd”
Today I’m gearing up for Nacho Night. More on that in a separate blog. I had some boxes of Hershey’s Triple Chocolate Brownie mix that have been calling to me. Judge me if you must but if you’ve not tried this mix, found at Sam’s Club, you are missing out. They’re super easy and everyContinue reading “Sweet Saturday: Salted Carmel Pretzel Brownies”
This is another repurposing recipe. When I say recipe, I really mean more like guidelines for making something you need to get rid of look good. See another post for another similar trifle. I had some leftover pound cake in the freezer and wanted to fix something with it and incorporate cheesecake….because who doesn’t likeContinue reading “Repurposing Food: Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle “
Every Saturday that we are home lunch sneaks up on us and I’ve forgotten to plan anything. When this happens, I often think of the options of food we have leftover to be used or eaten. Imagine me standing in front of the fridge looking at my leftovers. Yesterday the kids were leaving to goContinue reading “Cooking with Kids: Ham and Cheese Croissants “
Last night I made strawberry shortcake for dessert. And when I say I made strawberry shortcake, I mean Sam’s Club bakery made fresh pound cakes, which I sliced and served with fresh sliced strawberries, raspberries, and cool whip. Ok, I know it was lazy but it was still tasty and (best of all) easy. I digress. IContinue reading “Repurposing Food: Berry Shortcake Parfait”
We had family and friends over after Anna’s dance recital tonight for burgers. I needed a side dish and I love baked beans with burgers. But I was at the recital and I didn’t feel like using the oven since it’s so hot. Sooooo…using the crockpot seemed to be the best way to get it done.Continue reading “Slow Cooker Saturday: (Not Really) Baked Beans”
