When I (re)started my blog, I joined a 30 day blogging challenge to help myself blog everyday and get back into the habit of writing all the time. It has been really fun and also much harder than I thought! One of the challenges is to do a recap of the blogs you posted for the week. So here are …
Happy World Nutella Day! For today’s recipe, I decided to take my favorite peanut butter banana bread recipe (since my freezer is overflowing with bananas) and add a little punch of Nutella for World Nutella Day! I will start by saying that one of the reasons I love this banana bread recipe is because it is mostly healthy and packed …
Usually I make refried beans in my Crock Pot using black beans and pinto beans, but it requires a lot of planning and time. Sometimes I just don’t have that! So this quick and easy refried beans recipe is awesome if you are in a pinch and need some refried beans! You can easily make yummy refried beans using a …
Every month my husband’s office assigns someone to bring bi-weekly lunches. Lunch is every other Monday during an office meeting. That person can make lunch, have lunch catered, assign a potluck or ask everyone to bring their own lunch. January just happened to be my husband’s month. It always fun (and a little nerve wracking) to provide a meal for around …
Hi all! I completed my gestational diabetes test today. Something that I was really, really dreading! But it turned out to not be so bad! After fasting for 12 hours (no food or drink), you are to down this orange (some places have other flavors) drink in 2 minutes. I had heard that it tastes awful, but it wasn’t so …
I’ve been a vegetarian for a few years now and one of the things that I really miss is Sloppy Joe. I know, I know… You’d think I would miss steak or bacon or something really meaty. And I did, at the beginning. But now that it has been so long, I only want those comfort foods that I adored …
Today I bring you a healthier spinach artichoke dip that you don’t have to feel guilty about eating! You know how everyone has that one signature dish? Okay, maybe some people I have more. But this is mine. I am requested to bring this to every family gathering. The first time I had this spinach artichoke dip, I fell in …
Currently I am about 6 months pregnant (26 weeks to be exact). I’ve had a really great pregnancy so far and have enjoyed being pregnant for the most part. Who doesn’t want to eat delicious foods all the time?! Last week, I wanted guacamole. And by wanted, I mean, I NEEDED. There was one issue: I didn’t have any pickled …
I love cooking and I love writing. I started a food blog a few years ago, but I quickly lost interest after I took a new job where I was on the computer all day long. I didn’t want to come home and have to write a blog everyday. Not only that, but taking photos of food is hard. …
Hi there! When I was growing up, my food level was very plain Jane. We didn’t eat a lot of “weird” foods or spices. It was a lot of meat, potatoes, pastas… So when I started dating my husband, his family really opened my eyes to all these amazing foods that I was missing out on! One of those things …
