I’m in a season of celebrating and we’re quickly heading into the holiday season when treats will be plentiful. While I love indulging, I also would like to stick with healthier-for-me recipes and this healthy chocolate peppermint fudge is a fun recipe you will want to try. I LOVE that the ingredients aren’t obscure. I’m …
This dinner of penne pasta with pesto and chicken is quick, healthy and kid-approved! Have dinner on the table in under 15 minutes.

The Autumn Harvest Hard Cider is a fall-inspired cocktail using apple flavored vodka, bourbon and apple cider. Keep reading if you love cocktails, fall and relaxation. I love a good cocktail. We honeymooned in the Bahamas and we were able to bring back a lot of flavored rum when we flew home. It was amazing …
A few years ago, I had an abundance of basil and I came across a hummus recipe that I ended up tweaking and using a lot over the summer. (Check out the tweaked basil hummus recipe.) This summer and fall, I’m planning on making hummus using kale! Kale is an easy leafy green to grow …
In a time where everyone seems to be making bread, how about trying this cinnamon swirl beer bread recipe? It’s only 4 ingredients making this a fairly simple recipe for the entire family. My kids and I love baking and my youngest is finally able to help more in the kitchen. Since this recipe is …
This healthy “cheesy” popcorn recipe can be made with a number of spices – or reduce the cayenne if you think it’ll be too much. This makes a great addition to movie nights at home! With time spent at home on the rise, we’ve seen our snack consumption also rising. We’re trying hard to stick …
These Chocolate Shortbread Hearts are perfect for a Valentine’s Day treat to share with your favorite valentine! When I was in college, I was very much into celebrating anti-Valentine’s Day with students in my dorm. There were always cookies and movies with the girls and I had the best time. (Even the year I had …
Make the most of the hot chocolate experience with these hot chocolate bombs. Add in Oreos and you have some really delicious Oreo Hot Chocolate Bombs! I have to admit – I totally fell down the hot chocolate bomb rabbit hole before the holidays. Someone I follow (who lives in Canada) had shared some a …
It’s the most magical time of the year – treats-wise, at least. And this year I am sharing a recipe for Snowball Cookies that my mom and grandma make every year. This year, I’m adding them into the mix of my holiday baking. Also back this year, my participation in the Houseful of Cookies roundup! …
It’s been the time of recipe trying, so why not try Milk and Cookies Popsicles? I love Oreos and these cookies use the Golden Oreos. My kids love cookies (all kinds – they can be picky, but they aren’t quite so choosy when it comes to sweet foods.) These are tasty, and a nice treat …
This shop has been compensated by Inmar Intelligence and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #iheartPaneraRanch We have not eaten inside a restaurant since March. We have done a lot of curbside pick-up or delivery orders, but to go inside? It isn’t in our immediate future. I’ve cooked a LOT over the past four …
With two types of berries, this Watermelon and Berry Smoothie is chock full of vitamins and nutrients – and screams summertime. I’ve been working from home for months, but I head back to the office very soon. My morning breakfasts have varied, but I prefer to start my day with a shake or smoothie. This …
This pink watermelon lemonade recipe is sure to be a hit this summer with your kids, friends – and you! Made with lemonade mix and watermelon, it’s cool and refreshing, and such a treat! My kids go through all the snacks AND drinks during summer, and since they’ve been home more (thanks to staying closer …
These peanut butter vanilla protein bars are simple, delicious and made with just a few (healthy!) ingredients. Make more than one batch to keep on hand for the whole family! We’ve been staying home for almost two months and we are feeling every single day of it. The most common question in my house right …
I love my slow cooker, and I’ve been enjoying trying new recipes the past couple of months. This Ranch Pork Chops in the Crock-Pot recipe is a new one for us. My kids are tired of chicken, so a few months ago I thought they might like pork chops – if cooked properly. These ranch …
I’m continuing the Valentine’s Day theme and sharing Cookie Bars (with M&Ms!) Not quite a cake, not quite a brownie, but totally a cookie and delicious. Even if you aren’t able to make this for this Valentine’s Day, go ahead and pin it for next year! I think these Cookie Bars with M&Ms would …
At Christmas, we have Peanut Blossoms. And at Valentine’s Day, we have Chocolate Peanut Butter Heart Cookies. These are so similar, but there’s just something about the chocolate and peanut butter that makes these cookies EXTRA special. I’ve tried to take a break from cookies during the month of December, but with Valentine’s Day so …
We don’t often eat fudge, unless it’s a special occasion. This Marshmallow Fudge is great for Valentine’s Day – or ANY type of special occasion! Fudge is fairly easy to make (check out this chocolate five-minute fudge I made a while ago) and I’m fairly certain sugar is my daughter’s love language. While she begs …
Candy cane cookies are a fun treat for all of the peppermint (and cookie) fans in your family! Make these during the holidays or just after Christmas is over and you can score candy canes at a great price. My kids love candy canes. They’ve been begging for them since November, and they will eat …

I love making custom cookies for my kids parties, …

I’ll add to this list as …
This slow cooker macaroni and cheese recipe has turned into a favorite of my kids. It makes several servings, and can even be frozen for later! When I visited my dad and stepmom this month, my daughter requested macaroni and cheese for dinner. My stepmom made Paula Deen’s Slow Cooker Macaroni & Cheese and we …
It is officially fall, and I’m declaring it slow cooker season! We use our slow cooker year-round, but it basically becomes a full-time appliance in fall and winter. (Looking for a slow cooker? I have this one and love it!) With a busy schedule, but a need to meal plan and not eat out often during …
