I’m always on the hunt to sneak healthy ingredients into my recipes, after all I do have a 5 yr. old, a picky 2 yr. old and a pickier husband. Last St. Patricks Day I found an extremely easy recipe from Roni’s Weigh using a boxed cake mix and Spinach. Yup, you heard me SPINACH. [...]

Christmas is little more than 2 weeks away and the little gifts can be easily forgotten, but who doesn’t love a homemade granola!? My daughter takes ballet and I love to give her ballet instructors a small token of gratitude at Christmas.  The best way to show someone you care for or appreciate them is [...]

Thanksgiving is less than a week away and being the procrastinator that I am, I’m still hunting down new recipes to try out this year. I love all things pumpkin, but I like to add a twist every year to my Thanksgiving table and instead of making the traditional pie I’ll be making Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars. The [...]

Preschool and Ballet classes are back in session and I’m on the hunt for quick dinners. If it was up to hubby we’d be eating out every night but I am on a mission to keep take out to a minimum this year. I need something quick and nutritious to prepare for dinner, and when I come home late I am in [...]

Let’s face it, we all need a little dessert in our lives. I have a huge sweet tooth which can take over my taste buds and before I know it I’m devouring a whole cake. Portion control has always been an issue for me and I am not the type of person that can be [...]

Homemade pizza is one of my favorite meals to make but it takes hours for the dough to rise. When I’m craving pizza I’m not waiting hours to crush the craving! Normally, I would pick up the phone and order a pizza for delivery but my family would live on pizza if I’d let them, [...]

Let’s face it, life can be hectic and sometimes dinner is the last thing we want to think about.  Growing up in a single parent household my mom would work late nights and would turn towards easy and inexpensive meals. Convenience food can be very helpful on tired nights but unfortunately they’re not the healthiest. [...]

I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day (yes, even when I was single) I have always loved the idea of taking one day out of the year and dedicating it to the ones in your life. Let’s face it, we know we should tell our loved ones everyday how special they are and what they mean to [...]
