Brett and I took dinner to some friends that just had their first baby, and I made this Earthquake Cake for dessert. Typically you’d make this in a 9×13 inch cake pan but because most new mom’s are trying to lose the baby weight, and because it’s just the two of them plus the new…
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…
Happy Friday friends! Pop on over to Taste and Tell today where I’m being featured in Deborah’s Blogger Spotlight! Maybe you’ll learn something new about me:) Have a great weekend!
Easy Lemon Cheese Bars & 30 Weeks!
I’ll get to this good stuff in a minute…. But first, a pregnancy update! Tuesday marked 30 weeks for me:) I’ll most likely be having another c-section since my babies like to sit nice and cozy, breech, in my uterus (I actually have a weird shaped utereus, so guess it’s not babies’ fault;)). But at…
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…
Wal-Mart Foundation’s Fighting Hunger Together
This post brought to you by The Walmart Foundation. All opinions are 100% mine.Did you know over 50 million Americans have no idea where their next meal will come from? Or that Springtime generally produces a decrease in food and charitable donations to food banks across the country. I had no idea. And one of the…
Inside-Out Carrot Cake Cookies
After getting several nights of 9 + hours of sleep, guzzling orange juice over the last few days (with a couple of diet cokes in there), and sucking on about a million cough drops…I’m finally feeling better. And I finally did some baking. I figured I ought to squeeze in an Easter dessert…
Banana Bread Ice Cream Sandwiches
I got hit with the nastiest of head colds over the weekend. Complete with a sore throat, incredibly stuffy nose, and the feeling that my head might explode. Which is really no fun when you’re pregnant and can’t take any medication. Or hungry and can’t taste anything. It didn’t hold me back…
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…
{Super Easy} Creamy Jell-O Dessert
My mother-in-law told me about this super easy Jell-O & Cool Whip dessert she and her roommates used to make all the time in college. They called it “Splut”. Splut? She says it was the sound it made when it hit something or someone. Apparently it’s good ammo in a food fight. …
Egg White & Avocado Salad
I know I said I’d be back with a recipe on Friday, but we had issues with our Internet all weekend and just got it up and running again yesterday. So here I am, on Monday, with this Egg White & Avocado Salad for you. I love egg salads but I don’t love how…
