You either love oatmeal or hate it. Which camp are you in? This hearty, delicious, and very healthy and filling food has a lot of people dedicated to it! The great thing about oatmeal is that it doesn’t have to be boring and plain, even though the traditional way of adding milk and brown sugar …

Butterfingers rank up with with one of the best candy bars in the world! It’s peanut buttery, chocolatey and crunchy all at the same time. They are good in ice cream, cookies, blondies, cakes or even right out of the wrapper. Here is one of my current favorite ways to eat Butterfingers – in a …

Summer has always been our favorite time of the year. Great weather and since we are free of the rigid schedule of the school year, we travel, visit family and spend as much time as we can outdoors. This weekend was no exception for the 4th of July holiday. We packed up the boogie boards, …

My whole family loves homemade mac and cheese. It’s the go-to dish for busy weekday nights, BBQ parties, summer get togethers or pot lucks. When we really want to up the ante, we add the summer favorite – pulled pork – for a pulled pork mac and cheese superstar meal that people can’t resist. Add …

Father’s Day weekend is another holiday that expectations are high for me to produce something fabulous in the kitchen. While some years I go with a new dessert, most of the time I stick to an old favorite – Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars. Dads are creatures of habit and they usually know what they like. …

Just as the name …

Can you believe it?!? 4th of July is right around the corner. Summer just started and I feel like it is already almost half over. In a few short weeks, kids will be holding their sparklers, the fireworks will be filling the sky and Ice Cream Brownie Sandwiches will be in our hands. Ice cream …

It’s time for dinner salads. When warm weather sets in and the days are longer, I find myself wanting to be outside in the evenings instead of trapped in front of a stove cooking dinner. Before kids, dinner for my husband and I on these summer evenings was olives, wine, cheese, and maybe some crackers. …
