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.

Orange Creamsicles
The summer heat has got me overflowing with popsicle ideas, people! I have been trying out lots of different flavors and a few different molds to find my favorite combinations.

My Favorite Baked Chicken Nuggets
You know you’re a mom when not only do you a) have a favorite chicken nugget recipe, but b) you have a favorite baked chicken nugget recipe. What’s that you see in my driveway? A minivan? Someone save me before I buy any mom jeans! Just kidding! I love motherhood. Wouldn’t trade it. My house […]
Easter Egg Treat Ideas and Traveling with Toddlers
Is anyone else out there getting ready for some holiday traveling? We are heading out on the long (LONG) drive from GA to PA soon. I knew I would need something to help the little man from going crazy on the ride, so I came up with a little Easter-themed plan. What would you guess […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chia Bites
If you spend any time on these vast internets searching for recipes (which you probably do since you’re reading this blog), you may have noticed the trend in bite-sized snacks.

Gyoza Pan-Fried Dumplings
I don’t know if you noticed, but I don’t make much Asian food around here (remember Project Food Blog?). That’s not because I don’t like it, I just get a little intimidated by it and don’t know where to get reliable recipes. I’ve made a few Asian items- classic Kung-Pao Chicken, Lighter Sesame Chicken, Beef […]
