Caprese Salad Skewers
You guys. I am having a major food-related crisis! If you have been reading the ol’ blog for a while, you probably know these things about me: A) I enjoy healthy foods and attempt to live a healthy lifestyle. B) I enjoy baking and creating desserts that are often FULL. OF. SUGAR. I have discovered […]
Baked Potato Casserole
We planted potatoes in our garden again this year. A LOT of potatoes. Anyone want some potatoes?? I feel like I’m saying “this-is-what-we-are-doing-with-our-garden-surplus” over and over again on this blog, but it’s usually when we have giant piles of produce on our counter that I have to be creative and come up with new recipes. […]
Make-Ahead Mango & Raspberry Margaritas
Long day at work? Rough day with the kids? Hot outside? Just really need a drink? These little margaritas are just the ticket. Good, cold, relaxing things come in small, glass, ready-made packages. I love this recipe! I love that you can make these hours, days or even weeks ahead of your next big party. […]
Freezer Mashed Potatoes
Did you guys know you can freeze mashed potatoes?? Pretty awesome revelation. I usually don’t make mashed potatoes on a week night because it seems like too much effort. It’s not really that difficult, but boiling pots of potatoes (that often boil over) and needy children don’t mix. So I save it for a time […]
Irish Potato Candies
Forget the corned beef and cabbage. This is how to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. I’m assuming that if you’re not from Philly or Central PA, you’ve probably never heard of Irish Potatoes. Or maybe you have (sorry for assuming, you well-informed-blog-reader, you!) Either way, you’re in for a Philadelphia-style treat. As a Pennsylvania native, I […]
Roasted Cabbage with Quick Balsamic Reduction
So St. Patrick’s Day fast approaches.. do you celebrate? I am in the midst of planning a very lucky, very green birthday party for my 2-year-old. His party falls on St. Patrick’s this year, so we decided to embrace the theme and get our green on. As you might imagine, we won’t be serving corned […]
Farmer’s Soup with Turnips, Spinach and Butternut Squash
I have Hilton to thank for this soup. Hilton is a local farmer who has recently set up shop in our town, selling his organic vegetables to people like me who are dying to have a real farmers’ market. For $20, you bring your own bag and he fills it to the brim with produce. […]
Frozen Smoothie Bags
I am very excited to share this idea with you today! If you are looking to streamline your morning routine or looking for a quick and healthy mini-meal or snack for the kids, pay attention! This is a good one. I was inspired to make these frozen smoothie bags by The Tidy Nest‘s make-ahead freezer […]
Fall Harvest Salad
Can you believe I got off my pregnant behind (well, I guess I’m still on it) to write you a post today? Things have been nuts/bananas around here lately- pregnancy drama-rama, busy schedules, all of that. I have sort of lost my cooking mojo lately, to be honest. I joined a little freezer co-op a […]
Smoky Pork Tacos
Friends, we’re all lucky today that I found my way out of bed and stumbled over to the computer to write this post. My house got hit with the stomach bug this weekend and it has been aw–ful. Friday, I got it. Saturday, I attempted to recover. Sunday, baby got it, then husband got it. […]
