Ever hear the philosophy that your “normal” diet is what’s served to you by your parents? Well, my parents never served brussel sprouts. Never. So I hadn’t had them until just over a year ago when friends ordered them while we were out for dinner. Oh my, were they amazing! They are now one of … Continue reading

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my husband’s favorite. I wanted to make them for a special treat for the family, but knew that my old recipe would need some cleaning up. These cookies still have a fair amount of sugar, but they’re fine for one of our rare treats. These cookies are best baked only … Continue reading
My mom’s co-worker shared this recipe and it is beyond simple to make. I thought this side dish was delicious; the squash is very mild and you mostly taste the garlic and butter. Um, yum! It takes about 1 hr and 15 minutes from start to finish and that includes 1 hour baking time. Start … Continue reading
Remember the apple chip recipe I got from my daughter’s school? Well, they also sent home a recipe which they called CauliMash. I made it tonight and told my kids they’re mashed potatoes.

I will warn you, it makes a large dish so plan on using … Continue reading
One of the blogs I read shared a post about green pepper rings with eggs and tomatoes. For my life, I can’t find it again. So, if you know of a blog that recently shared this, please leave a comment – someone should get some credit! The rings looked so easy, simple, filling, and healthy … Continue reading
I forget how much I like real food with just a few simple ingredients thrown in to bring out their natural flavor. This dinner is one of the easiest, healthiest, and well-rounded meals I make. The leftovers work well for the next day’s lunch. This meal doesn’t need the bread since you already … Continue reading
This was the appetizer I was going to make for our Christmas Eve gathering but the whole time factor eliminated it as a possibility. Good thing because that’s how I found Mini Fruit Kabobs with balsamic vinegar reduction as an alternative! I’ve been anxious to make these Southwestern Potato Skins ever since I saw the recipe … Continue reading
If you told me I could never eat mashed potatoes again, I’d be OK with that. Actually, that’s a lie. I loved mashed potatoes. Having said that, these mock garlic mashed potatoes made with cauliflower are a pretty great substitution. If you want to fool your kids into eating cauliflower – try these! My cousin … Continue reading
