Lately, I’ve been browsing through my cookbooks for recipes and inspiration. Say what? No Pinterest? Oh I’m still wasting plenty of time on that there site, but I have to tell you, it is kind of refreshing to dust off the ol’ cookbooks, plop on the couch, and browse recipes while watching episodes of…
Peanut Butter Granola Bites
I don’t make a lot of peanut butter treats anymore because my little guy is allergic to peanut butter. Every once and a while though, I get a serious craving for a peanut buttery treat–and no, a spoonful of peanut butter won’t do–that’s a daily sneak of mine (usually while Owen is napping). But…

Will you be watching the Super Bowl this Sunday? We typically plan a party with friends but I think this year it will be low key–but will of course involve some good food. I’m always looking for an excuse to make party food! Here are just a few ideas to help you make your Super…
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…

She has organized her own sponsored race, The Shamrock Scholarship Run and all proceeds will go to the scholarship fund….
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…
Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Balsamic Basil Mayo
Brett and I have been on a Caprese Salad kick lately. It accompanied dinner almost every night last week. But one day for lunch I decided to turn that salad into a hot and melty, grilled cheese sandwich. Best idea ever. I’m a stay at home mom so I eat lunch at home…
Arugula Salad with Creamy Avocado-Citrus Vinaigrette Dressing
Dressing made from an avocado? Sign. Me. Up. I love avocados. Mixed with some fresh squeezed grapefruit and lime juice? Sign me up some more. You all know how I feel about citrus lately. The Avocado-Citrus thing was totally calling to me when I saw this recipe. However, the avocado flavor is pretty mild and…

Broiled Grapefruit with Brown Sugar and Yogurt
I’m not sure what it is about being pregnant, but I either crave salty foods or sour, citrus-y foods. Lately, it’s the citrus stuff I can’t get enough of. So I’ve been buying absurd amounts of grapefruits, oranges, tangerines, lemons, and limes. Sometimes, I even slice into those lemons and limes and just suck on…
