Baked Potato Soup
Tasty Tuesday: Crock Pot Gumbo
This was originally published last Mardi Gras, but I’m in a bit of a Cajun mood today–plus I am trying to kick a head cold and there’s no better cure than spicy food! I’m making an extra-hot batch of gumbo and hoping it cures what ails me! Stay tuned for another Nawlins favorite next weeks: […]
Margarita Fruit Snacks
Apparently I’ve been busy tonight. I made wine fruit snacks and then saw the blog that gave me the recipe for those recently published one for Margarita Fruit Snacks. I mean, how was I going to sit and wait for another day to make them? I didn’t. I cleaned up my mess from the wine […]
Tasty Tuesday: Thai Cashew Chicken
Today I’m sharing a recipe from my friend and fellow Colorado blogger, Catherine of Evolving Motherhood. I met Catherine this past fall in a cab on the way to a blog conference, and it turned out we were on the same flight and didn’t even realize it! Catherine shares my passion for clean, healthy eating […]
Tasty Tuesday: Brussels Sprouts Your Kids Will LOVE (no, really!)
I’m told that when I was a real little kid, I loved Brussels sprouts. But only the way that my great-aunt made them which involved frying them in vast amounts of bacon fat. Turns out, she was way ahead of her time, because that’s a thing now. Gone are the days of boiled-till-they’re-gray, mushy, bitter, blah […]
Tasty Tuesday: DIY Pumpkin Spice Creamer
Some people look forward to fall for the colors, some can’t wait to break out the boots and sweaters, some because it means that the holidays are right around the corner. But let’s be real. Most of us are waiting for Pumpkin Spice Lattes, amiright?
Black Box Wine’s New Pinot Noir & a Sangria Recipe
If you follow this blog or my instagram and twitter feed at all, you know I love wine. Particularly Black Box Wines. I love how cost effective they are, holding 4 bottles of wine in one box! They are only around $25 per box and they can last up to 4 weeks after being opened! […]
Tasty Tuesday: No-Bake Honey Cheesecake Parfaits
Ah, Summer is on its way! It’s staying light out later and gradually getting warmer…enticing us to linger outside on our deck or around our fire pit. Nights like that call for a tasty dessert, highlighting the spring and summer bounty of fresh fruit. With our south-west facing home, the kitchen gets mighty hot by […]
Tasty Tuesday: The Best Guacamole Ever {Chipotle Copycat!}
I’m a bit of a purist when it comes to food. I love to taste fresh, real ingredients and I especially love when a dish is so perfectly and simply made that I can deconstruct it. It’s this special little talent of mine: the foodie equivalent of being able to play a piece of music […]
Tasty Tuesday: Craveable Cracker Combos with 34 Degrees {& a Giveaway!}
Cheese and crackers are an easy, satisfying snack anytime of day and for any occasion. They can be casual for after-school munching, or gussied up for a party. But do you pay much mind to what type of crackers you serve? I never did before, but I am going to start. Because crackers matter! Recently, […]
Kid Friendly Gluten-Free Ham and Apple Sandwich #DeliFreshBOLD
My youngest loves lunch meat but since he’s gluten-free, he usually ends up just eating the meat. I’ve tried to get him to eat sandwiches, but failed every time. Until now. Oscar Mayer sent us a great sandwich kit and some of their new Deli Fresh BOLD flavor varieties. I was inspired and ready to take on […]
Tasty Tuesday: Lemon Cornmeal Bundt Cake
Easter is just a few days away, and I’ve been charged with bringing the dessert for our family’s celebration. Nothing says “Spring” to me, more than the bright, tart flavor of lemon. This cake is one of my family’s favorites: I get requests for it year round but especially in Spring and Summer. It’s very […]
Tasty Tuesday: Baked White Fish with Smoky Bacon-Tomato Relish
Even though I don’t keep to the Lenten tradition of eating fish on Fridays anymore, I definitely enjoy the sales on seafood this time of year! I’m stocking up on individually frozen and wrapped fillets because it’s so easy to pull out exactly what I need from the freezer, thaw it quickly in a bowl […]
Tasty Tuesday: Balsamic BBQ Sauce
We’re normally year-round grillers, but with the high winds and bitter cold lately, we’ve held off for a few months. So this sunny, mild weather made me want to clear the cobwebs out of the grill and fire it up! One of my favorite things to grill is chicken drumsticks. They’re cheap, fairly quick to […]
Tasty Tuesday: Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas
With two preteens in the house, it seems like someone is always in the kitchen making or eating a snack. Our rule is that healthy snacks are “free”…meaning that you don’t have to ask, and you can have them any time of day. That said, sometimes we just want something crunchy and salty, and it’s […]
Tasty Tuesday: Irish Ale Bread
This bread is always a hit: it’s my Grandpa’s recipe and a St. Patrick’s Day tradition in our family, but it is so quick and easy to make that it’s perfect for any time of year. It makes two decent sized loaves and it’s always gobbled up quickly! It complements heavy meat dishes and stews […]
Leftover Easter Candy Brownies
Easter is a bit later than usual this year. Normally it falls on or around my youngest’s birthday and we combine Easter and his birthday party. This year Easter isn’t until April 20th. Brady will be egg-cited to get his own holiday for once. Because so much of Easter is about candy these days, […]
Tasty Tuesday: Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing and Dip
Oh Greek Yogurt, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! We seriously go through tons of yogurt around our house, (which is why I have learned to make it from scratch, as I posted here: Homemade Yogurt ) One of my kids’ favorite things to munch on is fresh veggies and ranch […]
Frugal & Fruity ~ Freeze Ahead Smoothies
My kids and I love smoothies. I do have to admit, it’s quite the process to get them all together for just a quick smoothie for breakfast or as a treat after dinner. I was buying some pre-made smoothies but the cost was killing my pocketbook. At roughly $3 per smoothie, they were fast becoming an expensive treat.
I found a great tip on Pinterest about freezing yogurt into ice cube trays for toddler portions. Genius! Then my mind started working… All that’s in the pricey smoothie bag is frozen yogurt and fruit. Hmmmm… Then, this morning as I was starving and trying to come up with a way to pack in a ton of fruit while still minding my Weight Watchers PointsPlus® points, this recipe was born.
