Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I love celebrating Valentine’s by showering my loved ones with sweet, sugary, and decadent treats. To help get you ready for the big day of love, tomorrow I’m kicking off a 7 days Sweets for Your Sweetheart. Myself, along with a few other bloggers, will be sharing one…

Megan from Muncher Cruncher is here to share a few of her healthy cooking tips. Megan is a new blogger friend of mine, you know, we hang out on each others blogs frequently. Funny thing is, we met a looong time ago on a double date. Remember that Megan? She was with one of Brett’s…
Buffalo Chicken Cheese Bites {more Super Bowl Food}
I’ve got Red Velvet on the brain today and can hardly think straight long enough to tell you about these delicious Buffalo Chicken Cheese Bites. I’ve got so much of it sitting on my counter it’s consuming my every thought. Just one more cookie. One teeeeny tiny slice of cake. Seriously, Kristy. Focus. …
A Red Velvety Birthday
Confession: I ate cake twice today and ate way too many cookies to count. I’m pretty sure it was the low-calorie kind of cake, and the zero-calorie kind of cookies. Yes, in fact I know it was. But who keeps track on their birthday anyway? Owen and I shared a piece of chocolate cake…
Roasted Veggie and Chicken Spread {more Super Bowl food}
A few weeks ago, I went to a little recipe group some ladies from my church had. Somehow I didn’t read the invitaiton missed the memo to bring a healthy dish. I showed up with these. Soooo far from healthy. Oops. But I did come away with inspiration (from the healthy dishes shared) and…
Super Bowl Food: Creamy Chicken Nacho Sauce
Nachos are a Super Bowl food must-have in my book! They are easy to make and can easily feed the masses. This creamy chicken nacho sauce makes doing both even easier. Throw everything into your crock pot Sunday morning and you’ll have a game-time snack ready to be devoured! My friend Megan, shared this recipe…

Fit Fridays: Work it Out at Home
After having Owen last February, I couldn’t wait to get cleared by the doc to start exercising again. I had worked out my entire pregnancy, but quickly lost all of my cardiovascular endurance and little muscle I had, those eight weeks after delivery. When I finally got the go ahead, I quickly realized my exercise…
Bacon ‘n’ Egg Breakfast Pasta
**This just in, what I am calling breakfast pasta is really just carbonara. It just sounds more fun calling it bacon ‘n’ egg pasta. ————————————— Owen and I have a pretty good morning routine going for ourselves. He wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00, I feed him his oatmeal, grab a banana, and we…
Pumpkin Almond Craisin Granola
My granola making over the weekend was a success! I loved the way it turned out. A friend of mine has been ranting about this recipe, so I figured for my first home-made granola go, I’d give hers a try. There are a lot of ingredients that go into it, and the trip to Good…
Getting my Granola On…
The husband is finally home, but apparently a week of work in the Big Apple wears one out. I wouldn’t know. I’ve never been. I’ll tell you what though, a week at home alone with an almost toddler wears one out too, more mentally than anything. So while Brett is napping recovering this afternoon, I’ll…
