I love making soups! They are simple, flavorful and packed with nutrients. And the added bonus? I must get several soup requests from my 2 year old boy weekly! He LOVES soup! Any. Kind. Of. Soup. Last weekend, we took a little getaway to celebrate my dad’s bd. We were out to lunch on the last day, and of […]
Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast
April 2, 2013 by
I love slow cooker meals because they are simple! I use my slow cooker at least once a week and I always use my slow cooker(s) for large family gatherings. I have time to visit with my company while the meal is cooking and I don’t have to worry about transferring anything to serving platters. I always have everything set up buffet style. Our guests can load up their […]
Crafting with my Kids
March 26, 2013 by
I knew for a long long time that I wanted to be a mother. I had a class called “Marriage” back in high school. One of our projects was to plan out the life we wanted to live. My plan was to go to college and meet the man of my dreams, marry shortly after […]
Vegetarian Chili
March 20, 2013 by
There is something so comforting about chili; especially during the winter months when we are cold and longing for sunshine. It has always been one of my go-to dishes. It’s simple, quick and flavorful –and- you can make enough chili to feed 4, 8 or 12, and the amount of work is almost the same; so […]
Tilapia and Vegetable Packets
March 15, 2013 by
I LOVE to cook. It became a passion of mine after I discovered the Food Network. When I cook for myself, everything I cook is vegetarian. I have been a vegetarian for 15 years. No meat. No poultry. No fish. I always had a few non-vegetarian meals that I could whip up for friends and family, but I […]
Apricot Glazed Pork Chops
March 11, 2013 by
I made this recipe for the very first time when my entire family (my parents and two brothers) came to visit me in my first apartment during my junior year of college. I found the recipe in a small cookbook that my mother had mailed to me. To be honest, it was the only cookbook that I owned at the time […]
DIY Headband Organizer
March 8, 2013 by
Creating a DIY Headband Organizer is so simple and inexpensive! You probably already have a few of the materials already on hand. It will take you about 15-20 minutes to complete. I made this while my youngest was napping and my daughter was crafting right beside me. She even took some of the photos for me. Mommy’s […]
Crumbs on my Kitchen Rug…..not any more!
March 7, 2013 by
Ok, I admit it, I am a bit of a clean freak! With that being said, my definition of “clean” has changed tremendously since having children and running a business. Before children, I use to have a strict weekly cleaning schedule. A cleaning schedule is non-existent now. I clean when I find the time and I let a lot […]
Cornbread Breakfast/Brunch Pie
March 6, 2013 by
My love for cooking began when “The Food Network” entered my life, shortly after I graduated from college and bought my first home. There was the cutest market right up the road from me and I would stop regularly after work to pick up fresh produce. I would spend hours in my kitchen, cooking up my favorite […]
Rustic Everyday Wreath – Burlap, Jute and Yarn
March 4, 2013 by
Rustic decor is all the rage these days! I am OBSESSED with burlap and jute right now and I have created some new burlap and jute inspired wreaths (as I patiently wait for spring) and added them to my shop. This wreath is one of my favorites! It is natural and simple, yet so elegant AND it can […]
