These Churro Pancakes might be the easiest thing you can make for Cinco De Mayo tomorrow! Whip up a batch of your favorite pancakes (whether from a box or from scratch), then just butter each side of the pancake, and dip each side in a cinnamon-sugar mixture! I love Krusteaz Whole Wheat Pancake Mix so…
Main Dishes
Easy Margherita Pizza
The last couple of months we’ve been having themed meal nights, Mexican night and pizza night. It makes meal planning a lot easier as well as the grocery shopping. The other nights of the week I try to make something new. Taco night has consisted of a variety of tacos, taco salad, fajitas, Mexican rice…
Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwiches
After putting Owen to bed the other night, I went outside and sat on our balcony to read for a little bit. I could hardly focus on my book because our neighbors were out grilling and that “BBQ smell” overcame me (you know that smell, right?). That smell not only makes me hungry (even if I’ve already…
Black Bean Sloppy Joes
I was browsing magazines while waiting at a doctor’s appointment a couple of weeks ago and came upon these Black Bean Sloppy Joes. I pretty much love anything with black beans, and secretly love sloppy joes, so I couldn’t wait to give them a try. I quickly made a…
Crock Pot Buffalo Wing Drumsticks
I’ve recently started price-matching at Wal-Mart and have found it saves us a good chunk of change on groceries. I tried couponing for a couple of months and failed miserably at it. Price-matching is so much easier and doesn’t take near the amount of time and effort that couponing does. A good friend of…
Strawberry & Broccoli Orzo Pasta Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette
I know strawberries and broccoli don’t seem like they’d pair well, but I loved them together in this pasta salad. The strawberries provide the perfect touch of sweetness and the broccoli gives it a nice bite of crunch. Tossed together with orzo pasta, slivered almonds and a zesty lemon poppy seed vinaigrette, this chilled pasta salad…
Man Food…Chili Cheese Dog Casserole
This post has been a long time coming. My husband has been asking me–okay, more like begging me- to make this Chili Cheese Dog Casserole ever since I told him about it, oh I don’t know six or so months ago. It’s a hearty, beefy, manly casserole. If Chili Cheese Hot Dogs aren’t your…
Crock Pot Hawaiian Chicken
At 25 weeks I’m feeling more tired by the end of the day now than I was during my first trimester. So dinner around here lately has been quite a dud. We’ve had a lot of YOYO nights (You’re On Your Own) and I’m starting to feel a little guilty about it. I’m happy…
Chicken with Pepperoni Marinara Sauce
It’s pretty safe to say that pizza is one of our favorite things to eat. I love it. The hubs loves it. And of course, to little guy loves it. I love making homemade pizzas but it can be a bit time consuming, and although we have our favorite places to order pizza from, we…
Strawberry-Banana Muffins
Ever have those nights when your baby–in my case, TODDLER–wakes up at four in the morning, and once you get them back to sleep YOU can’t go back to sleep? That was me yesterday. I typically just watch TV until I fall back asleep, but when that didn’t work I decided to bake. Why…
