This post is sponsored by Mazola® Corn Oil. All opinions are my own. Brett and I are popcorn junkies. We make our own popcorn and kettle corn at home regularly. It’s our favorite snack after dinner, we almost always pop a fresh batch to go along with a tv show or movie we’re watching, or even football games. We’ve…
Appetizers
easiest bean dip recipe
Sometimes I feel like we live at Costco. It’s the kind of store we should only need to go to every couple of weeks, maybe even monthly. But not us, we are there weekly. We (well my children) go through milk like crazy and Brett and I burn through eggs like you wouldn’t believe, and we…
Cinnamon-Sugar Pumpkin Snack Cake
The perfect fall cake for breakfast or afternoon snack~ loaded with pumpkin and coated in cinnamon-sugar topping! I was hoping I’d go into labor on Labor Day, but instead we spent the day at the zoo, barbecuing with friends, and me stuffing my face with the most amazing chocolate chip cookie bars I’ve ever tasted….
MIRACLE WHIP Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip
This post is sponsored by KRAFT Foods. All opinions are my own. I’ve never been so happy about summer coming to an end. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve loved our summer in San Diego but it’s been a whirlwind of a summer. It has felt like a really long vacation. We are ready for a…
Buffalo Chicken Wedge Salad
It’s about that time and season that I go a little crazy for buffalo wing recipes. It always happens when football season rolls around. It’s not the girliest of foods, but I love wings and all things with buffalo wing sauce in them, on them, or to dip in. And for some reason, football just…
Grilled Cheesy Avocado Sourdough Bread
Last night at 11pm I sat staring at my computer screen not really knowing what to say about this bread, other than “THIS STUFF IS AMAZING AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO MAKE IT!” I sat there on the couch, staring at the blank screen until I fell asleep. I woke up this morning and my husband…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bites
These little protein bites have become one of our favorites snacks/treats. We’ve made them with both almonds and cashews and love them both ways. The cashews make a much creamier “dough” and the almonds give them a little more texture. So I’d say, use what you have! Or try both and see what you prefer….
Roasted Corn & Red Pepper Salsa
Grilled corn, grilled red bell pepper, and chunky avocado make this the perfect smoky-flavored salsa for summer! I’m not sure what’s better, devouring this salsa with chips or piling it high on top of a juicy burger! We did both. And I’m a little embarrassed to admit Brett and I ate the entire bowl of…
Banana Cream Caramel Cheesecake Dip
It’s always a little weird explaining to people what my job is. Writing a food blog. Taking pictures of food. Sharing recipes with people online. Some people look at me like I’m crazy, it’s confusing to some, and some people think it’s awesome. Telling people that I attended a food blogger’s conference in Miami, Florida…
Jalapeño Tzatziki Dip & Jalapeño Tzatziki Pretzel Bites
Life has been a little crazy lately. Last weekend I went on a girls trip and my husband was simultaneously interviewing with a company in San Diego. He got an offer and we accepted. So we turned around as soon as we got home from our trips and went back to San Diego to house…
