Do you ever get bored with the way you serve pasta? Red sauce, white sauce, plain old butter, olive oil (I hear people use pesto, not an option here.) There are different ways to dress it up, and different proteins to add, but often kids, in particular, latch onto one type of pasta and aren’t Read More …

Hello friends! Let’s talk about frosting. I have turned into a frosting snob over the last few years. For Zax’s first birthday, I discovered several frosting recipes that I absolutely love, and now I can’t make myself go back to canned frosting.

I’ve seen it referred to online as the “Wacky Cake,” “Crazy Cake,” “Depression Era Cake,” and the Read More …
With the homemade seasoned breadcrumbs I posted about last week, we made Parmesan Chicken for dinner! It was so very yummy that I had to share! This recipe is pretty labor-intensive. Hubby did the bulk of the work, and was remarking that he remembers why we don’t make it very often–just because it takes sooooo Read More …

Not very many varieties of bread (especially sandwich bread) have egg in them, but for some reason, most breadcrumbs do contain egg. This is a conundrum to me. But as a result, we seldom make recipes that require breadcrumbs, because of how Read More …
I found this recipe a few years ago, and have since turned into a hummus junkie! It tastes soooo good when you make it yourself! Hummus is a great source of protein and healthy fats. Adding beets into it adds a lot of vitamins, not to mention a bright color that makes it appealing. Pink Read More …
