Sometimes we just make breakfast (and lunch and dinner) work with what we have in the house. This morning was one of those mornings and we created waffle and egg casserole. It was awesome and so I am sharing it. [amd-yrecipe-recipe:12] The great thing about this is that you can prepare it the night before and have it ready to pop in the oven when you wake up! It would …
Homemade Dog Biscuit Oatmeal Treats to Bake at Home Our furry friends and family members love getting gifts too. There is something truly special about baking homemade treats for those we love and goodness knows – we love our dogs. These biscuits could be done simply like a drop cookie but they are so darn cute when using shaped cookie cutters themed for those who bark and wag their tails. …
Sometimes I dig in the refrigerator to find something, anything, to make for dinner. It is worse in the summertime when the kiddos are around all day and they grab and snack on my ingredients, leaving me to create a new dinner plan in a hurry. Tonight I dug out asparagus and blueberries. And so it happened, I baked blueberry asparagus and it was A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Did you know that …
I am playing around with foods that make me feel good. I was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto disease which changes everything about what diet will work best with my body. This lemon edamame hummus was pretty delicious. It would work great to serve as an afternoon snack or an evening appetizer. [amd-yrecipe-recipe:6] Personally, I love it on the pita chips best! It just looks healthy. It is so green! Green …
Homemade Macaroni and Cheese in a Baking Dish JJ and I decided to make up a recipe for one of our favorite dishes -macaroni and cheese. We researched recipes then blended a few together and added some ingredients of our own. It worked. It was easy to make and super crazy delicious too! One of my favorite this to do is cook with my kids. While we love tomatoes with …
Summer is almost here! I can feel it when the farmers’ markets open up, even if it still chilly here in Colorado. We went as a family yesterday morning to the one at Southland Mall and had a blast. I am so excited to share our farmers’ market baked potato bar. It all happened (with a huge tossed salad too) for a mere $10, thanks to Miller Farms. I am …
I recently posted the recipe for my mom’s amazing chicken divan and in one of the pictures there was a jar of orange pomegranate iced tea. For those of you who asked, yes, I made it and yes it is super delicious. It is easy too. It is really just flavored tea so to speak. I like to mix things up and see what happens. This was one of those mix …
My mom was not really a very good cook. It’s true. If you knew her, share a comment and validate me please! However, she did have a few really good recipes that she made in excellence. This is one of them. My mom’s amazing chicken divan was my favorite meal growing up. I made it for my Bunko group this week and they all asked for the recipe. So, here …
My kiddos are always wanting frozen margaritas when we get them at restaurants. They would hate the taste, even without the tequila. This is our solution! The hand juiced orange and lemon slushies were created tween style! It was a Thursday afternoon that started the first springtime three day weekend and as usual, we had a house filled with giggling girls. They wanted to make something and based on what …
Cowboy beans with green peppers are super yummy and work great as a main dish or a side. Sometimes we make them and have them for dinner with corn bread or toast. Sometimes we make them and take them to picnic pot lucks to share. This recipe is HUGE but can be cut in half. It serves 12 which makes it great for leftovers. [amd-yrecipe-recipe:5] Mix it all together and …
