A good friend of mine shared this recipe with me. She has six kids. Six! It’s beyond me how she gets dinner on the table every night for her family. Every day is a busy day. I like to save my slow cooker for busy days, so if I were her, I’d be…
Chocolate Chip-Pecan Pumpkin Spice Pudding Cookies
I’ve made these cookies about five times in the last month. Because about a month ago I bought out the entire stock of Jell-O Instant Pumpkin Spice Pudding at Wal-Mart. Mostly with intentions of making this Pumpkin Lust Cake a few times this fall. But that left me with about a dozen extra boxes of Pumpkin Spice Pudding. …
Pepperoni Quiche
This has been one of our favorite weekend breakfast/brunch meals lately. In this quiche I like to use about half whole eggs and half egg whites. Beat in some milk, add some cheese, a heaping handful of chopped spinach and pepperoni, and pour into a pie pan and let it bake.
Cookies & Cream Hot Cocoa (in the Blendtec)
Tomorrow’s the last day to enter the Blendtec Blender Giveaway, so enter now if you haven’t:) I mentioned earlier this week that we’ve used our Blendtec to make hot chocolate. Not just the ordinary stuff, I’m talking gourmet. I’m talking Cookies & Cream Hot Cocoa. I figured if the Blendtec can make soup and get it…
Slow Cooker Quinoa Chicken Chili
I’m currently obsessed with quinoa. Not that it’s new to me, it’s just been a while since I’ve cooked with it. And can I just say this chili knocked dinner out of the park? Hubby loved it. And even my picky two year old liked it. This Quinoa Chicken Chili is thick…

Pumpkin Quinoa Breakfast Cookies
Didn’t you hear? It’s totally normal to eat cookies for breakfast. Especially if they are actually called breakfast cookies. But not to worry, they taste just like middle-of-the day, after-dinner, and late-night-snack kind of cookies. Meaning, you’re totally getting away with eating dessert for breakfast. I changed up this recipe from Bon Appetit…
Browned Butter Sweet Potato & Pecan Quinoa Salad
I’m a sweet and salty kind of girl. So this browned butter quinoa salad makes me incredibly happy. Almost as happy as browned butter alone makes me. {Seriously, where has it been all my life?} It’s sweet and salty and nutty and buttery. It has roasted sweet potatoes that are kind of sweet kind of salty, pecans…
Apple Cider Muffins
Whipped up a batch of these warm Apple Cider Muffins over the weekend. It was only fitting with Saturday marking the first official day of fall. My husband’s been super sick for the last two weeks and hasn’t had a sense of taste or smell. But on Saturday, he woke up feeling a little…
Taco Pasta
It’s been a wing-it kind of week for dinner. Quesadillas…Cereal…Soup… Just whatever we had on hand. With no planning on my part. Then we had this Taco Pasta. It turned out to be a great last minute, no plan kind of meal. Got this one from my sister-in-law, who…
Pumpkin Eclair Cake
I’m not really ready to say goodbye to the warm weather, our days at the pool, and my baby’s days of wearing just a onesie. But I’m liking the idea of fall, apples and cinnamon, hay rides and hot cocoa, and lots and lots of pumpkin. I got the pumpkin party started over the weekend…
Pepperoni Pizza Spaghetti Casserole
This dish is a combination of my boys’ favorite meals–pizza and spaghetti. It’s like a deep-dish spaghetti pie with pepperoni in every bite, is perfectly cheesy, and has a thick pizza-like crust of spaghetti noodles. Sounding delicious? It’s a lot easier than making a pizza but takes a little more…
