Easy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Safeway, Inc.. All opinions are 100% mine. I have a confession to make. Sometimes I use grocery shopping as a way to escape the chaos that is my life. Don’t get me wrong, I love my life, and I love my family. You know […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie for After School Snacking
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of TruMoo Milk . All opinions are 100% mine. I don’t care how big of a lunch I pack my kids for school each day, they always come home hungry (and usually sweaty from afternoon P.E.). They would be content to sit on the couch and […]
Orange Cranberry Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce using Heritage Reserve Navel Oranges
Okay, I’m going to just put it out there – I’ve never been a big fan of fresh oranges. Don’t judge me! They just seem like there’s just too much effort to get to the orangey goodness. My parents have a nice navel orange tree, and they’re good oranges, just not great. My opinion is […]

Malibu Mango Mocktail with Simply Great Taste Prize Pack
As a lover of Simply Beverages, I decided to partner with them to introduce you to the new Simply Juice Drinks. All opinions expressed are my own. I have a confession to make. I all too often have placed great emphasis on recipes for entrees, side dishes and desserts, but frequently fail to recognize beverages. There […]
“You Won’t Believe How Amazing” Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
These cookies…. Mmmmmmm! I don’t even think words can accurately describe how amazing these cookies are. They are firm and crispy on the outside and soft and chocolatey on the inside. They are amazing warm, straight out of the oven but taste even better (if that is possible) the next day. I had people over […]
Low Budget Minnie Mouse Themed Party
I am all about making up any excuse to have a party. It doesn’t have to be a big holiday or birthday for me to whip up a yummy treat, play games, or even decorate and invite guests over for some fun. Because it had been a whole week since our last party, in honor […]
