I bet y’all didn’t know I was a poet huh?! Hope y’all enjoy! Ingredients: 3 whole Bananas, frozen, peeled and chopped 1 cup low-fat Chocolate… [Continue Reading]
If you don’t already know, me and my 16yr old son are starting P90x. This also means we have to eat healthier and the easiest, best way to eat healthy during the Summer, is to take advantage of the grill (and the man cooking..haha). It’s no secret that Olive Oil is a healthy fat so… [Continue Reading]
Pickled Eggs are not on my list of favorite foods but they are for my husband and son. I love pickles and I love eggs but why anyone would want to eat a picked egg is beyond me. With that said, I’ll share the recipe that me and my man used, in which, him and… [Continue Reading]
Some of you may already be familiar with Biscoff. They make a delicious cookie but have taken it a step further to create Biscoff Spread. It’s basically crushed up Biscoff cookie deliciousness put into a jar! I made a pie with it, of course. And no, it’s not really a banana crust per se but… [Continue Reading]
I can’t believe Easter is just around the corner and here in Texas, that means HOT weather is on the way. We’ve already had some warm days so I’ve been on the prowl for easy, cool desserts. I’m sure this Strawberry Mousse is something several of you already know about, but I’ll admit, it’s new… [Continue Reading]
Easter is just around the corner and I’ve been on the prowl for some Easter goodies to make for Truett’s class. I’ve seen these ‘Easter Carrots‘ before but most of them were filled with candy; reese’s pieces, orange jelly beans, orange m&ms, etc. Because there is a little girl in Truett’s class that’s allergic to… [Continue Reading]
Since St. Patrick’s Day is coming around quickly, we’ve been making all sorts recipes; everything from pot of gold treats to shamrock pie. Since the weather is warming up here in Texas, we wanted to cool things down a bit and decided to make this super easy Lime Sherbert Cooler. It’s the easiest thing to… [Continue Reading]
I get so tired of recipes that get all dressed up with all sorts of ingredients. It’s not that I don’t have an appreciate for flavor, fine foods, and variety but I guess I just have more of an appreciation for simplicity; the foods that our Moms and Grandmas made. It’s not just that, it’s… [Continue Reading]
You may also know this shamrock pie as a grasshopper pie but I like shamrock better. The thought of a ‘grasshopper’ pie just doesn’t sound to appealing you know? Anyways, some folks use pudding but I chose ice cream! It’s the easiest recipe ever and looks pretty, leaving your mouth minty fresh! Nothing like St…. [Continue Reading]
Whenever I make desserts, Truett always asks me to make him something special and I really never do. I thought I’d make him his own St. Patrick’s Day special treat; a Pot of Gold. Now I realize this looks like a lot of work but it wasn’t bad at all. And in the end, it… [Continue Reading]
No, this is not soup. Creamy chicken and noodles is just that, chicken breasts and egg noodles cooked in a creamy sauce. It’s simple, it’s filling, and it tastes good. I had all the ingredients to make this Creamy Chicken Florentine but when I went to search for the red peppers, they were nowhere to… [Continue Reading]
You could easily make these Valentine popcorn bag treats for any occasion but I needed a quick fix for my son’s Valentine’s Day party. I could make a number of things but since one of the little girls in his class is allergic to red dye, I decided to go with a general treat, placed… [Continue Reading]
With school & church functions, I’ve had minimal time to cook so I’m all about quick & easy meal solutions these days! I’ve seen this recipe thrown together by a gal in New Mexico. It was funny because none of the ranch hands knew that it was this quick of a meal. They always thought… [Continue Reading]
