Every Mom has a little rebel inside!
When I was younger I remember when company would just pop in announced and kind of send my Mom into a tizzy. Especially if she hadn’t baked anything in a couple of days. That was when she would make Spoon Pie. If you have never had spoon pie, well you are really missing something. It is so good, especially when warm. It has a fudgey gooey center, like pie but the outside is crisp like cake. You spoon it out {Read More}
When I was pregnant with my oldest I craved the sweet and salty combination. I must admit this drove a lot of my family nuts because they believed the old wives tale that said if you craved salty you were having a boy, sweet meant you were having a girl. I craved both and secretly wondered if I was having twins. The funny thing is my oldest is girlie sometimes and a total tomboy at others. It makes me wonder {Read More}
How do you eat your Oreo’s? I like to take them apart, eat the cream and then dip the cookie in milk before gobbling it up. There is just something fun about eating an oreo and sometimes I feel like a total kid! Be sure to pin this to Pinterest with this pinnable image Of course you can eat just the cookies or you can use those scrumptious little cookies to make a sinful dessert. I can tell you from experience {Read More}
I love my Keurig. So much so that I often wish I could just stick my head under it and let the coffee drain in. Want to know what I love more than my Keurig? Coffee, duh! I am a sucker for coffee and can’t function in the morning without it. One of my favorites is Gevalia Dark Royal Roast single serve cups. It is never bitter and brews awesome every single time. In fact it is my favorite to {Read More}
If you have been reading my blog for a long time then you most likely read the post “When Your Life Falls Apart.” In that post I talked about my younger daughter, Avery, and her bullying experience when a girl actually pulled a knife on her in the bathroom and threatened to kill her. Shortly after that incident I became a homeschool Mom. It has been really tough for me and for Avery. Me because it is a responsibility I {Read More}
I had seen Goya in my grocery stores but had never really thought about trying it. I was interested when I saw a campaign on Sverve featuring Goya and thought it would be the perfect time to expand my horizon and try it. They sent me a lovely package with Quinoa, Olive Oil, a cookbook, Adobo seasoning, and some coupons. I felt like I had won the Goya lottery! I already admitted I hadn’t tried Goya but another thing {Read More}
Big Confession!! I hate peanut butter and jelly. Not the combination, but rather the actual sandwich. Something about the thick peanut butter with the fruity jelly between two slices of white bread turns me off. However, I love the combination so when I want a peanut butter and jelly fix, I do it another way. Today is national Peanut Butter and Jelly day! No one is quite sure how this day began but most people are in agreement that this {Read More}
While we do celebrate Easter we don’t go all out for it. My Mom does fix Ham but since not all of us are big ham eaters, we fix other things also. The day is pretty laid back and easy going. The girls open their baskets in the morning, my Dad normally goes to church, and then the rest of the day we just chill together as a family. I had a lot of ideas this year for Easter dinner {Read More}
Spring time is coming and when the weather turns warm I usually run from the kitchen. I like making quick and easy recipes this time of year because it gives me more time to play outside. That is why I love this chicken salad because it is easy to make! It is even easier to make since I found Tyson® Grilled & Ready® chicken strips. Before I would have to boil chicken breasts, let them cool down, and then dice {Read More}
Here is the scenario that is getting ready to happen in thousands of homes in the next week: The bunny is coming to visit your kids and you need to get ready. Their faces are shining and they are filled with glee. Being the super Mom, Aunt, or Grandma you decide to dye eggs, lots of them. Easter dawns bringing joy and happiness to the children, eggs are hidden and hunted, and the day is amazing for all. All to {Read More}
