Swirly Peanut Butter Brownies
An OUTSTANDING recipe for peanut butter and chocolate to come together in a dense, cakey delight.
Naturally, as with most dense breads, these brownies are WAY BETTER the next day. Unfortunately, there weren’t many leftover to enjoy. So, if you’re planning to make these ahead of time, HIDE THEM!!!
HERE’S ALL IT TAKES
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed [...]
Snickerdoodles
Buttery cinnamony cookies- YUM! Do you call them Snickerdoodle Cookies or Snickerdoodles? They are my son’s FAVORITE cookie of all time. Of course, he’s merely 9 years old, I’m sure there’s time for other cookies in his life. My favorite part is how they start off with this soft crunchy texture then they just dissolve [...]

Homecooked Burgers and Happy Meals
I don’t own an outdoor grill, but it doesn’t stop me from having a good burger. I made up a great tasting batch of burgers using a grill pan and a heavy cast iron skillet. The one you see above had a chunk of goat cheese in the center…ooh baby was it GOOD!
HERE’S [...]
Creamy Spinach and Ravioli
This simple recipe was a BIG HIT with my 8 year old son! My 5 year old daughter loved it too, only without the spinach.
This recipe is very close to the Creamy Penne Pasta and Chicken dinner, except I was completely out of garlic and chicken broth. I improvised with yellow [...]

Creamy Penne Pasta and Chicken
This creamy penne pasta and chicken was a HUGE HIT with the family, particularly my picky daughter. After two bites, my son asked if there was enough for leftovers. That should count for extra points, right?
The picture above shows the adult dinner; topped with sliced grape tomatoes and sprinkled with red pepper flakes. Naturally, I [...]
Sloppy Joes
The kiddos love this quick, delicious Sloppy Joes recipe. I’m cooking them tonight to get away from the Thanksgiving leftovers.
Do you happen to have more desserts leftover than other foods? Our fridge runneth over with sweets. Last night, I had the hardest time deciding which pie I would eat again. So I compromised, I sliced [...]
Mom’s Munchables
I’ve stopped my kids from begging me for Lunchables packs!
I know it has to be the bright colors and exciting images that draws kids to ask for these over priced, visually unappetizing food items at the grocery store. The only real taste they have is in the juice drink and the candy bar. Max [...]
Vanilla Pancakes
After making Awesome French Toast from last weekend, I was curious how vanilla would taste in my pancake batter. My kids thought I made flat cupcakes for breakfast, and of course, they ate every bite! Notice that this is not a sweet batter, I skipped the sugar, knowing that there would be maple syrup added [...]
