I am starting to realize that this time of year is a tad stressful for me. That might actually be an understatement. I LOVE LOVE LOVE fall and decorating, and eating fall treats and warm comfort foods, but that transition from summer to fall is a difficult one. We are so busy and everyone is […]

Sloppy Joe Hot Pockets
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Manwich. All opinions are 100% mine. When school is in session, I would say that I am the queen of easy weeknight meals. With the start of a new school year also comes the beginning of soccer season. Between all 4 kids, we are […]
Fresh Tomato Spaghetti Sauce
While I am so tired of the hot days here in Northern California, there has been one benefit – my tomatoes! Because of when we purchased our home, we got a late start on our garden. Ordinarily this could present a problem, but because we are still having 100° days, my tomatoes are doing beautifully! […]
Toasted Ham and Apple Open-Faced Sandwiches
I am so over the heat. I’m not sure if this has been a record breaking hot summer, but it sure has felt like it. I can’t remember a summer where we have had so many days in the triple digits. I have been racking my brain for dinner ideas that won’t heat up the house, […]
Easy Chicken and Bacon Turnovers
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson. The opinions and text are all mine. The kids always come home from school ravenous. Sound familiar? I frequently try to stick some crackers or something small their way, but I have found that they end up in the kitchen not 20 minutes […]

Healthy Chicken and Veggie Foil Packets with Easy Clean Up
If I’m not mistaken, we are having record breaking temps this summer. With a high of 108° today and 111° tomorrow, I am grasping at ways to make dinner, that won’t heat up the house. I have turned to foil packets because they are so easy and all you have to do is pop them on […]
Hamburger and Potato Foil Packets on the Grill
The past couple of days (make that weeks) have nearly been unbearable when it comes to the weather. I really do not enjoy triple digit temperatures, and I dislike slaving over a hot stove or oven, in those temps. So, I have been working up new recipes every day this week, that don’t require making the […]
Curried Tuna Salad
On my honeymoon to Carmel, I tried a sandwich I had never had before – Curried Chicken Salad. It was sooo yummy, and I knew I would need to try to recreate it. Because we often have tuna on hand, and it is more affordable, I thought I would try my own version of Curried […]
Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken with Sweet Baby Carrots and Seasoned Potatoes
Juicy slow cooker lemon chicken, oh-so-sweet carrots and perfectly prepared potatoes make this slow-cooker recipe an easy weeknight meal with just enough elegance to wow your entire family. Plus, see how a new line of locally grown and antibiotic-free fresh chicken from my sponsors at Foster Farms made me feel even more excited about serving […]
