It’s no wonder where Sloppy Joes get their name. I’ve never eaten one that wasn’t sloppy, have you? Well, meet the even Sloppier Joe. Not kidding, you’ll be licking your lips, fingers, and then licking up all the drippings on the plate. Not that I did.. no… I would never…but my husband…

Turkey & Veggie Tacos
My 7 month old isn’t a picky eater….he wants to eat, and will eat anything and everything. Right now, he loves sweet potatoes, peas, and carrots. I wonder how long it will last? I’m sure someday I’ll have to sneak his veggies in. And when I do, I’ll resort to these babies. I wasn’t trying…
Cinnamon-Oat Pancakes
I’m not a big breakfast person. I’m good with a bowl of cereal, toast, or a shake. I’d much rather have the real breakfast foods, for dinner. Ya know, pancakes, waffles, french toast…that kind of stuff. Probably because I actually really like it and eat way too much, and end up feeling stuffed, slow and…
Chocolate Mousse Brownies
I’ve been in Colorado for the last week and a half visiting my family. Nothing beats spending time with family! And nothing beats my momma’s desserts….which we had plenty of. She made these brownies twice….and they were the death of my attempt to eat healthy. I lost all self control. I kept cutting off little…
Birthday Cake Time….
My husband celebrated his 26th birthday on Friday. Around here though, we don’t just celebrate birth days we celebrate birth weeks. Really, it’s my husband’s idea. He just likes to try to get out of helping around the house, doing laundry, changing diapers, and basically getting anything he wants for a whole week. Birth week…
My New Favorite Cookie
The famous Kellie Knapp (a good friend that lives too far away from me) gets all of the credit for these cookies. She is always making crazy good food and shares my love for sweet treats. She made some Chocolate Pudding Cookies once that I couldn’t get enough of….well, a year and a half…
Bring Me Two Piña Coladas….
….Cupcakes, that is. These “gourmet” cupcakes are too easy to make and oh so good. They are light and refreshing and you’ll feel like you could eat 10. We spent this last weekend with our good friends in Logan, Utah. Between these cupcakes, Traci’s amazing Caramel Popcorn (I’ll have to post that another day), and…
A Dish that Kicks….
This Spicy Orzo and Black Bean Salad has some kick to it…just the way my husband like its. It’s how he likes all of his food actually. He is the guy that grabs his favorite bottle of hot sauce or crushed chili peppers before he even tries his food. It used to bug me; I…
Creamy Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing
This dressing is amazing and so simple to make. I think I could drink it. It was sooo good over a spinach berry salad, topped with sliced almonds and feta cheese. I used strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries because that’s what I had on hand. It’s also great when you ditch the spinach and other fixings,…
Strawberry Shortcakes
For me, Strawberry shortcake is the perfect summer dessert–nice and light, sweet but not too sweet. These were nothing short of that. The biscuits have the perfect touch of sweetness to balance out the strawberries and whipping cream. We had friends over for dinner and served these for dessert, but wouldn’t they be fun for…
Salsa Chicken & Flatout Salad Bowls
I love simple meals. This is one is so good we ate it twice last week, and not because we had leftovers, but because we liked it that much. Grab yourself some Jack’s Special Garden Fresh Gourmet Medium Salsa and some Flatout Flatbread (both can be found at Costco and both are favs at our…
