5-Ingredient Baby Back Ribs

Thanks to Pinterest, I stumbled upon a food blog that I have spent hours reading. I have pinned many, many recipes from this woman’s blog and I’m still not finished yet. She and I sharing a first name is merely a nice coincidence: Alexandra Cooks. One recipe stood out to me because of how simple [...]

Chicken Pot Pies

My husband and I both adore eating chicken pot pies. Actually, we enjoy pretty much any kind of meat-veggie-mix-topped-with-pie-crust concoction that’s out there. Even in the middle of summer, we’re happy to eat them. I have seen a lot of recipes for quick and simple pot pies and casseroles using refrigerator biscuits or Bisquik and [...]

Carrot & Zucchini Pancakes

While Cari H., our boys and I were visiting a fellow mama and her two boys a couple of weeks ago, she made us carrot and zucchini pancakes for breakfast one morning.

Breakfast To-Go: Oatmeal Strawberry Muffins

I recently found this recipe on Pinterest for a breakfast-on-the-go muffin. I’ve made them twice now (once with strawberries and once with bananas) and I have to say…. they.are.delicious. They are meant to be a quick breakfast to eat in the car or at work, when you don’t have time to whip up a gourmet scrambled [...]

Simple Green Beans, Chicken & Potato Dish

I found this recipe on Pinterest, pinned by many of my friends, and was able to find the original website it was pinned from. It looked easy enough, and those are the best kind of meals in my opinion, so I decided to try it out. The best part is that you can make it [...]
