Can you believe Spring is already here as of today? It seems like the first quarter of the year has flown by, but I’m ready for nice weather, playing outside with the kids, grilling, and having friends over. We got a jump on ideas for delicious spring treats last night at my Great Value baking [...]
We eat a lot of sandwiches around our house, especially now that I’m trying to make a concerted effort to eat healthier. It can be easy to fall into the rut of eating the same sandwich over and over again… but I’ve been inspired to try something new with Hungry Girl Flatouts. One thing I [...]
Remember a few weeks ago when I wrote about the fun Great Value baking party I had with some friends? We made apple pie, which was amazingly good. But guess what… I’ve found out a way to kick it up a notch. I’ll share it with you in just a little bit – you’re going [...]
One of my very favorite soups has always been La Madeleine’s tomato basil soup. This recipe is the closest replica of the soup we’ve ever tasted – we discovered it after modifying a tomato sauce recipe a friend introduced us to. We love it, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do. Ingredients: [...]
I posted the other day about prepping for my Great Value baking party. Well, I had it last Thursday and it was SO MUCH FUN! It was originally supposed to be at my house, but when my husband came down with a nasty stomach bug my friend Jennifer graciously offered to let us have it [...]
Love pineapple as much as we do? You don’t have to wait to enjoy it just in the summer – you can enjoy it in the fall and winter, too! You could do something as simple as arrange pineapple wedges to look like a Christmas tree on a platter, but you can also find all [...]
We’re big tea drinkers in our house. Pure Leaf Tea is a bottled tea with a fresh brewed taste – it’s great on its own but also provides a base for adding to it and making your own fun summer drinks to have for guests. We decided to try out the tea on its own [...]
Summer just seems like it’s the best time of year for entertaining, even here in Texas where it gets SO hot SO fast. It just feels like a slower time of year, and having friends over for a laid-back evening of good food and games is one of our favorite things to do. As a [...]
We love to grill, even though it gets insanely hot here (we’ve already hit triple digits this year). From fajitas to burgers and hot dogs, there is really something so summery about firing up the grill! Of course, even with grilling it can be easy to get stuck in a rut with what you make, [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve done Menu Plan Monday. Like, a long while. Part of it is because during the first trimester of this pregnancy I was nauseous a LOT, and not much sounded good… and, I could never really tell what would sound good on a given day, so we didn’t do a [...]
