I love having Lipton Recipe Secrets Soup Packets on hand. If I am in a pinch or haven’t had time to meal plan for the week, I can whip up a dinner in a matter of minutes. The packets are versatile; you can make so many recipes with them: Oven Entrees, Top of the Stove Entrees and […]
Pasta e Fagiole – A Quick and Easy Soup
April 9, 2013 by
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.

Our guests can load up their […]

Apricot Glazed Pork Chops

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 […]
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.
