FIVE HUNDRED posts. Wow. That is a lot of food, people! I am amazed that the little food blog I started on a whim in September of 2008 has survived (and thrived!) until today. There’s been a little bit of everything here on Oven Love, hasn’t there? Lots of sweet desserts, tons of breakfast and […]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!   Hope you’re enjoying the extra time with your family. Here’s what’s new around here. As an Air Force family, this holiday is always a good one for us (four day weekend, baby!), but this year is extra cool because it includes a promotion. The hubs is being promoted to Captain! This […]

Come visit me over at Modern Parents Messy Kids today! I’m sharing an idea for a fun summer lunch to help your kids learn their colors. I’m so excited to be a contributor to MPMK and looking forward to more yummy, kid-friendly posts!

I don’t know about you, but I’m almost always in the mood for pizza. Doesn’t matter the weather, doesn’t matter the season, doesn’t even matter the time of day. I’m always on board when pizza is involved. My favorite pizza dough right now is Annie’s, but when I’m in a hurry (or I haven’t pulled […]

Happy Monday morning! If you were following on Facebook this weekend, you know that I was working on some new cupcake flavors for my 500th post- one based on a dessert and one based on a breakfast treat. This is the breakfast concoction- a berry-stuffed french toast cupcake! Begin drooling now. It isn’t my 500th […]

Happy Wednesday! I’m here to introduce you to the most popular treat in my freezer- Mint Cookies and Cream Ice Cream. I’ve mentioned my abundance of garden mint before, but things have gotten even wilder! This mint is taking over the garden like a boss! I’ve been thinking about making mint ice cream with it […]

I am always on the search for the best recipes out there. I know that doesn’t sound strange- who isn’t looking for great recipes? (Hopefully that’s why you’re here reading Oven Love.) But I mean I’m looking for the perfect recipes- the recipes you finally keep after months or years of looking. The recipes that […]

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. […]

I am a self-proclaimed recipe hoarder. I’ve always got tons of recipes on my list, just waiting to be whipped up. Some make it onto the blog and some don’t.. but I hope all of them make it into my belly eventually. Here are a few tasty and refreshing looking drinks to cool you off […]

What did you do the morning after Cinco de Mayo? (Seis de Mayo just doesn’t have the same ring to it). Maybe it was just another Sunday morning, maybe you were nursing a hangover, maybe you don’t have kids and you don’t wake up until the afternoon, I don’t know.  We were up at a […]

Check out that sweet sibling hug! I love catching these little moments. Let’s catch up, shall we? We’re throwing a Cinco de Mayo party this weekend! I can’t wait to cook up a Mexican feast and enjoy it with friends. Smoky pork tacos, guacamole, Mexican brownies, and make-ahead frozen margaritas are on the menu. YUM. […]

 I love playing hostess. One of my favorite things to do is to make a meal and enjoy it with friends and family. Usually, I end up going a little overboard as the host- I start to feel like dinner isn’t enough on its own, and then I start making drinks and desserts and bread. […]
