I’ve been really forgetful lately. I went on an hour-long hunt through my house searching for my keys because I couldn’t remember where I put them. I went to the store this week and completely forgot what I went for (#1 reason for lists). I ended up wandering around until I found something I decided…

Oven-Baked Frito Pie
Thanks to Liz at Sweet Simplicity Designs, my site got a little makeover! It was long overdue and I love how it turned out. Thank you Liz! I’ve also moved to a new domain, sweettreatsmore.com. You should be redirected to the new site if you type in the old blogspot address, but you may…
High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes
I’ve finally jumped on the Pinterest train and I’m seeing so many pumpkin flavored sweets it’s killing me! Re-pin. Re-pin. Re-pin. I feel myself gaining weight pin by pin. These High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes are one way to enjoy the taste of pumpkin this season without busting the waist-line. Of course they don’t compare to…
Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
I really want to tell you this cauliflower mac and cheese is healthy…because, you know, it has cauliflower in it. But all the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, milk, sour cream…and then some more cheese that went into it, kind of ruined any chance it had of being healthy. So….sorry about that. But let me…
Italian Sausage and Veggie Pasta
Before I get too ahead of myself with fall recipes, I’ve still got three giant zucchinis I need to use up before they go bad. But I have no clue what to do with them. I’ve already made zucchini bread. And zucchini cookies. I’ve sauteed it, roasted it, and made a pretty tasty zucchini…
Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken & Black Bean Chili
I enjoyed using my slow cooker during the summer to keep the oven off and the house cool. But now that it’s fall, I can start using it to make warm, comforting soups and chilis. Even though we’re still having a few 80 degree days here, I’m welcoming the season of soups and chilis…
Grilled Eggplant Parmesan
I tried eggplant for the first time this summer at a wedding luncheon last month. They served Eggplant Parmesan and I was shocked at how much I loved it. It was one of those, “Where has this been all my life?” kind of moments. Yes, I am talking about eggplant. Where has it been…
Overnight Spiced Vanilla-Pear Oatmeal
As sad as I am to see summer go, I’m certainly enjoying the cooler weather September is offering. We’ve started turning off the air conditioner at night and cracking the windows to let the natural cool air in. And surprisingly, yesterday morning I woke up a little chilly. I got up at 6 to…
Feta-Avocado Turkey Burger Pitas
Here’s a tasty Pita Burger to enjoy on this last (unofficial) day of summer. Turkey burgers stuffed with feta cheese and avocado enjoyed in a tasty whole wheat pita with lettuce, tomato, and a cumin-mayo to give ’em just a bit of kick. If you prefer, you can serve these burgers on a plain…
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes
These pancakes taste like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I think I’ve said it before, but I’m not so much of a breakfast person. Unless of course, my breakfast tastes like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (they happen to be a favorite). Then I’ll take a stack of four please…..with some milk. And…
