    What’s for Dinner :: Italian Chopped Salad

    July 12, 2015 /

        With summer upon us it can be tough finding the time (or energy) to make dinner so I have been on the hunt for really simple yet healthy meals I can make in a moments time. Last week I picked up a premade Italian Chopped Salad  at the grocery that included all the makings (Romaine Lettuce, Brocolli, Red Cabbage, Green Onions, and Parsley) for a yummy Italian salad.  I wasn’t sure how much salami, etc., was included in the package so I went ahead and bought some nitrate-free salami (two types), mozzarella cheese, nitrate and MSG-free turkey and some grape tomatoes.  I already had the dressing and Greek olives on…

    A Grand Ole Cake on the 4th of July!

    July 7, 2015 /

      The Fourth of July is a huge deal in our household. It’s probably right up there with Thanksgiving and Halloween. About two months ago, my husband, who never ever emails me, sent me a cake recipe for the 4th of July. He never ever asks me for anything, so this was a big deal. Needless to say, I was up for the challenge. My husband went so far as emailing the recipe for it, so I just had to do it. He requested for an American Flag cake, one which upon slicing, are slices of Old Glory herself! Here’s a link to the recipe care of Food52.com: https://food52.com/recipes/28811-american-flag-cake Due to…

    Recipes :: Quick & Simple July Fourth Treats

    June 28, 2015 /

      A Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwich: The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays because we can just sit back and enjoy each other with no pressure of gift-giving (yes, this can be a little stressful don’t you think?).  We usually spend the day at the pool and eat bits and pieces all day long.  You know how it is!  This year I want to make a couple patriotic treats to bring to the pool and these are some simple but delicious treats that just about anyone can make.  Like I said, July 4th is a no-pressure holiday so let’s not stress too much about the food!  Enjoy yourselves! These…

    What’s For Breakfast :: Buttermilk Pancakes

    May 16, 2015 /

      My daughter gets very excited when I ask her on a Saturday or Sunday morning if she wants pancakes for breakfast.  I really like the Multigrain recipe I found in Kitchen Sense by Mitchell Davis but this morning I thought I’d try the buttermilk recipe.  If you don’t have some buttermilk in the fridge – don’t fret – just add in some sour cream to get the same effect!  Enjoy your weekend lovely dandelion moms and dads!   These pancakes are really tasty as is, but you can add in some chocolate chips, blueberries, banana slices or even some nuts.  I think some chopped walnuts would taste great with…

    What’s For Dinner? Roasted Garlic Chicken with Thyme

    March 31, 2015 /

    Yesterday, a friend told me about this great Roasted Garlic Chicken Recipe that her whole family loves and that it is really easy to make.  I am always up for simple and healthy recipes that my family will actually eat.  My husband is not a big meat or seafood eater (yes, makes for interesting dinners) so I have to look for recipes that he might like as well.  My daughter is fairly easy to please as long as it isn’t too spicy.  When I heard what was included in this recipe: chicken, potatoes, garlic, tomatoes, fresh thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper  I was sold.  That is a fairly easy shopping list so…
