I can’t believe Thanksgiving is only a week away! Do you have your menu planned yet? How about that turkey? Do you have one thawing in the refrigerator or do you purchase a fresh bird? I myself have not made it to the grocery store to pick up a turkey yet because we are dealing with some…
Mexican Potato Salad
The weather has been warm this lately and we are taking advantage of it by spending a lot of time outdoors and firing up our grill for meals. Burgers, hot dogs or chicken are so easy to make on the grill and go well with numerous side dishes. Along with watermelon and a spring mix salad,…
Italian Tuna Pasta Salad
Thank you Bumble Bee for sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% my own. Labor Day weekend is coming up and then my kiddos are off to school! It always feels like then end of Summer as soon as they go back, even though the weather will still be fairly warm for at least another…
Italian Cheese Scalloped Zucchini
Summer is almost over, I have planted some fall crops in my garden, but I still am getting a few zucchini. A few here, a few there, which seems to work out better for me than a few weeks ago when my counter tops were full of them! I feel like you can never have enough zucchini…
Summer Garden Salad
During the Summer I cannot get enough of all the fresh fruits and vegetables in my garden and at the road side stands. There are many healthy meals and snacks that are made from those fruits and vegetables, and then there are some not so healthy, delicious, old fashioned dessert recipes that one must absolutely make…

Once the warmer weather is here, more fresh fruits and vegetables are available in the grocery store and at local stands, and I just can’t get enough. I love the bright colors and delicious taste! Salads are such a quick and easy lunch or dinner that can fulfill your daily fruit and vegetable requirements too. Have…
Homestyle Mashed Potatoes
Do you ever find yourself stuck in a dinner rut? I think sometimes when I am trying to create new recipes for the blog or be really creative with too many things at once, I get a little burned out. With my oldest 3 children off from school the past 2 weeks for Spring Break,…
Tropical Coleslaw with Greek Yogurt
Well, Spring has put me in a great mood! Even though it’s very windy outside today, I don’t mind because the thermometer has hit 60 degrees! I’m trying not to get too excited, because it looks like we have a few chilly days in the upcoming forecast, but no snow! Now that is definitely something…
Sour Cream & Cheddar Baked Mashed Potatoes
Potatoes really are the perfect side dish and I love them with just about anything! Homemade mashed potatoes are a must have at least a few times a month at our house and we never get sick of them. This summer I thought we would be adventurous and try our hands at growing a few different…
