Saturdays tend to be big breakfast days at our house. It’s the one day when we don’t have something going on, so it’s a good day to try more elaborate recipes. This is the breakfast we had this week. Whenever I make waffles I usually make them from the Bisquick mix, but I wanted to […]
Mexican Wedding Cookies
I was craving these yesterday, so I had to make them! I usually make these cookies to go onto my goody plates at Christmas time, cause I think they kind of look like snowballs, so they go with the theme. But also because they are amazing and it’s something I’m proud to give away to […]
Country Pinto Beans
It’s about time for another dinner recipe. My mom made this for me growing up and it’s awesome and super healthy for you. Just a few little hints before you start. First, you need to sort through your beans and make sure there are no bad beans, rocks, or foreign objects. You don’t want these […]
Orange Cream Pop Cupcakes
I bought a cupcake magazine the other day, and this recipe was screaming at me to try it! I love orange cream-sickles, so I was super excited about this cupcake. But there are positives and negatives. Taste gets a plus! It’s creamy, it’s orange, and it’s so yummy. On the down side, the cupcake itself […]
Meat Loaf
Sunday my husband decided at 3:30pm to tell me, “Hey, I’m gonna invite everyone over for dinner.” Panic!! That means I have 2 hours to clean my house and get something made, and not to mention that I hadn’t been to the grocery store in about a week. So, my cupboards were pretty bare. In […]
Chocolate-Hazelnut Macaroons
First of all, I want to applaud anyone who has successfully made macaroons! It took me three attempts to actually get these things made, and would like to say third times a charm, but I still had issues. Only half of my cookies came out like they should. And the other half came out like […]
Apricot Scones
Saturday mornings breakfast!! I made this recipe this morning. I love apricots so I was super excited to try these, and they didn’t disappoint. The filling allows the scone to have a really warm and moist center while the outside still stays really crisp. The outside is warm and almost flaky while the inside stays […]
Beef Stew
I absolutely love this recipe! It is by for the best beef stew I’ve ever had. One thing I would have to recommend when you make it though. Use watered down beef broth instead of just water. It gives the stew so much more flavor, and it comes out a little thicker. Also, if you […]
Black Forest Cupcakes
So, I know I just posted cupcakes yesterday, but I was having a serious case of the mondays and needed a chocolate fix. Although, I didn’t really feel like making a whole cake, so I made the recipe into cupcakes. This recipe turned out so yummy, but I had to alter a lot of stuff […]
Sausage and Pepper Skewers
Since I ate three of those stinking cupcakes yesterday, I needed to make something for dinner that was somewhat low in calorie and weight friendly. So I decided on these. And I love how super simple they are. Cut up your veggies and your chicken sausage put them on a stick, then throw them on […]
