As we continue to spend more days by the pool, and do more of our cooking on the grill, I have made a goal to get creative with our dinners. I am currently on a no-carb kick with my husband, so that means lots of meat and veggies for us. I get tired of just […]

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 […]
Pecan Topped Fresh Peach Cobbler with Frozen Custard
Nothing says 4th of July Celebration better than having family together and feasting over homemade fresh peach cobbler and frozen custard. Peach cobbler and custard ice cream has been a tradition in my family for a very long time. The recipes have changed slightly, the family members have increased, but the celebrations remain the same. To […]
4th of July Food Table Must-Haves
This post is promoted by Target. Decorating for each holiday is something I love to do, but let’s face it – not all holidays are equal when it comes to decorations. I have Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas decor up for a month each, but the multitude of decorations is what can be astounding. For one […]
Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal
For a couple of years now, I have heard about Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal, and finally decided to try it. There are so many recipes, so I decided to make up my own, and I’m pleased with how it turned out. My kids haven’t quite gotten on board with the idea of cold oatmeal, so I […]
Dutch Oven Artisan Bread
Raise your hand if you love carbs. Now raise both hands if you are a sucker for homemade bread!! Homemade bread is the bomb, and every time I make it (or someone makes it for me), I ask myself why I don’t make bread more often. It really isn’t very hard – it just requires […]
Flavored Whipped Cream Recipes
At a restaurant in Monterey this past week, I was reminded how much I love homemade whipped cream. It is so simple to make that it is a wonder more people don’t do it. The flavor and texture are mouthwatering alone, but the cool thing is you can play with it by creating different flavored […]
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 […]
Homemade Naan Bread
I am obsessed with good Indian food! Naan bread dipped in Channa Masala, Veggie Pakora, Tikka Masala, and the list goes on. Mmm! It wasn’t until I moved away from my hometown, a few years ago, that I discovered a love for Indian food. I had tried it once as a child and found it […]
