Bold Bean Dip

So far in this pregnancy, with all of my cravings, I’ve been craving bean dip the most. Next, I want spicy things. Sometimes, regardless of the threat of heartburn, the hotter the better! Bean dip is another one of those dips that you can make in so many different ways and it’s just amazing. I … Continue reading

Spinach Artichoke Dip

This is one that never seems to go out of season. You can change this up for winter, spring, summer or fall and it is always a classic and amazing. Served with bread, crostini, crackers, chips, pretzels, fresh veggies…heck you can put it over your pasta, shrimp, or even chicken. I’d like to share my … Continue reading

Arrogant Bastard Chicken Burritos

In our house, we love restaurants like Chipotle or a local chain we have here in Dayton called Hot Head Burritos.

You’re a good mom when…

My Aunt shared this on facebook and it was too good not to share with you… as I always turn off the beaters and let my hubby and oldest daughter at them (the youngest will soon be beater-lickin’ age!) 🙂

Mango Peach Salsa

I was going to a family bbq/birthday party and was told, “if you’d like to bring something, cool!” So, among all my other crazy cravings, I’ve been craving fresh salsa; the odd thing about it is that I typically only want tomato salsa, not fruit salsa. For some reason this week, mango peach salsa sounded … Continue reading

Mexican Style Pizza

A week ago, I hosted a Pampered Chef party. I wasn’t too sure how the turnout was going to be as I still don’t know a ton of people in the Ohio neck of the woods. I ended up having a fantastic show and earned a ton of hostess credit! So…. I decided to get … Continue reading

A Late St. Patrick’s Day Dinner

This last weekend, moreso than usual, left us so busy that we weren’t able to relax and cook at home like we typically do! LOTS of things to do, places to be, people to see, etc. So, we got to celebrate our St. Patrick’s Day this evening! This year’s meal was definitely one to write … Continue reading
