So these have sort of become a weekend breakfast staple for us. They are quick and easy to put together and the leftovers freeze wonderfully for quick breakfasts later on in the week.
They are healthful and full of nutrients without refined sugars and flours which makes me pretty darn happy…and pretty darn ok with the fact that my kids always want seconds. Continue reading
Breakfasts can get a bit monotonous in my home. This Apple Pie Oatmeal is a favorite of my kids and an awesome way to switch things up from these, these and these breakfast favorites around here.
My four year old named this simple, healthy, quick number “Apple Pie Oatmeal” and for very valid reasons. It’s rich, comforting and has all those wonderful flavors that apple pie has to offer without all of the hassle and useless ingredients. Continue reading
I’ve got a thing for a good ham and bean soup. It’s old school. A staple. Nostalgia central. It’s like a really fantastic, super old pair of Chuck Taylors, or that worn in sweatshirt with all the holes in it. Solid. Legit. Classic. Always in style. So this recipe? My jam.
I’ve tried simmering this stuff on the stove for hours. I’ve soaked the beans overnight. I’ve used beans from a can. I’ve seared the ham before slow cooking it. I’ve added roasted garlic. The list could go on. I’ve fussed around with ham and bean soup in every way, shape or form and this ridiculous, itty bitty, hardly-any-work-or-ingredients recipe is by far the best I have done to date. Continue reading
I planned on just leaving you with a bit of Thanksgiving meal inspiration today. I did. But it felt wrong, you know, not sharing a new recipe and all. It felt like going to a dinner party empty handed. No dish to share, no bottle of wine or even fresh flowers. It felt icky. So it’s not going to happen. This snack mix is your hostess gift. I hope you like it 😉 Continue reading
‘The Holidays’. Is it safe to say they are upon us? I’m going to go ahead and declare a yay on that. It is November, after all. And the hustle and bustle is right around the corner. I’ll be the first to admit, I love it. Most of it.
I love it because of the constant gathering around the table with loved ones. People just tend to get together more often, at least in my world. Whether it’s a group of couples having a fun dinner out on the town, old friends who are hosting a gathering in an effort to get the ‘gang’ back together, or simply having dinner at other families houses, we just tend to do it more often around this time of year. And I’m TOTALLY cool with that. Continue reading
My husband was craving chili big time last week. And chili is one of those weird things I have a hard time making on any day of the week other than Sunday. It’s a Sunday food, no? It needs time to simmer on the stove and smell the house up beautifully while everyone gets cozy and football is blaring in the background.
But last week on Sunday I had an event to attend. Which meant no time to let that chili bask in its glory on the stove. So I decided to try a stab at it in the slow cooker. Results? Delicious. So simple. And perfect for days where time has got the best of you. Continue reading
So, how was it? Did you go crazy for your kids halloween candy? My husband did. I had no part in it. Except for the DOTS. And peanut butter cups. I may have had a Snickers, too. Or two.
This weekend basically consisted of lots of junk food…pizza, burgers and fries, way too much candy..and not enough sleep. So, back we are to reality and it feels so very good to have meals at home, sleep schedules for the kids and real-life food in the fridge. It doesn’t take much for me. If I’ve got those three things I am ONE HAPPY CAMPER. Continue reading
Happy Halloween Week! It’s funny, I was never really a fan of this upcoming holiday until my kids came along. But now, for me, it’s basically pure excitement. It’s a fun excuse to dress my kids in hilarious outfits (please, just pray Jude allows me to put his costume on him for at least one photo. one, thats the goal this year, just one little itty bitty photo is all i ask for. pray friends, pray.) Not to mention this holiday is perfectly placed among the most GORGEOUS time of year. Crispy Autumn. Ahh.
So on top of the costume thing and the beautiful time of year thing I’m pretty sure most of my excitement stems from the fact that it’s a perfectly wonderful opportunity to get fun and creative in the kitchen. Holidays equal special food. Always. Continue reading
So there’s Sunday’s Finest Roasted Chicken; all dressed up, fancy “tie” and all. Stuffed and seasoned and as delicious as can be. At least I thought. But then my laziness set in and I wanted Sundays Finest Roasted Chicken on a weeknight. Without all of the hassle of stuffing and tying and fussing. Continue reading
So hockey has officially begun. Pair that with football season and I’m basically left with pleeeeennty of inspiration for game-day eats. Continue reading
