Recipe :: Shrimp Boil in Foil
This shrimp boil in foil is a new recipe we tried out this weekend and I absolutely love it so had to share with you all! My husband found it on Tasteful Adventure and this no-mess dish is amazing! It takes like 20 minutes to bake in the oven or barbecue (our option) and there is not big mess to clean up! This makes a great dish to make at a party or Sunday night with the family. What’s not to love?! Seafood, potatoes, corn on the cob, andouille sausage and my favorite seafood cajun seasoning sprinkled all over it. It is one of my favorite dishes we’ve made! Ingredients…

Nutrition :: Eggs offer a powerhouse of nutrition for the entire family
Summer is so close we can taste it! And while “summer school” often gets a bad rap, Nellie’s Free Range Eggs wants parents and kids to get into the kitchen and prepare delicious egg-centric recipes during its own “Nellie’s Summer School” this June. If you’re not already familiar, Nellie’s is committed to providing better lives for hens, which means better eggs for you and your family! Coming from the first Certified Humane® farm in the country, Nellie’s girls (aka hens) are never caged and have as much, or as little, access to outside as they want. You can read more about the company, their humane practices and differences…

Recipe :: Beef Braciole with Egg and Tomato Braising Sauce
Using left-over hard cooked eggs….. I got a glimpse of summer during the kid’s Spring Break and I liked it! But, back to the real world and that means using up holiday leftovers, grocery shopping, packing lunches and making dinners that can extend into said lunches. My Monday night meal usually consists of some version of spaghetti and meatballs (due to my teenage son’s disproportionate love and adoration of this meal), but this week, I had extra hard-cooked eggs the Easter Bunny left behind that I needed to use. What to do? I made Beef Braciole in a Tomato Braising sauce with Polenta….this week’s version of spaghetti and meatballs.…

Delicious and Easy CREPE Recipe
Every single Sunday I make crepes for my family. The crepe making started out as a weekend treat when my kids were little and gradually became our Sunday tradition. Preparing the crepes, and the fillings that go with them, makes me grateful I can create something my family loves and gives me hope that my kids will remember these mornings when they are off to college and beyond (which is creeping up really, really fast). As my kids, and often their friends, stand around the kitchen asking if the crepes are “ready yet”, I stare into their sleepy faces and hear about the week. My true love…

Spaghetti Pie Recipe
Ahhhh, pasta! I love all things with pasta and cheese. So does my daughter. My son eats nuggets. And tenders. A few other items but basically he’s going to cluck one day *lol* From lasagna (roll-up’s too) to manicotti and all the in-betweens. I make an awesome baked spaghetti too – there is a difference between spaghetti, baked spaghetti and spaghetti pie. Making any of those with my daughter takes me back to the summer’s I spent up north with my Gramps. He was a great cook and I spent hours upon hours with him in the kitchen. Now I get the same joy teaching my daughter these recipes –…

Yummy Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Ooey, gooey, yummy cinnamon rolls! They’re a favorite here in our house. Several years ago, I started teaching my kids to make them and before that having them help me. They love being in the kitchen and these are really easy to make – as the girl loves surprising me with them! Sometimes we change things up (for the filling) or will do a half and half alternative if we’re running low on milk or sugar. We’ve even used packaged (boxed) bread mix, only if they call for water we will use milk or half water and half milk. Hey, you do what you have to do when you want cinnamon…
