I pretty much automatically love any quick dinner recipes to feed my family during the week. Lasagna is one of our favorite meals, but I would have never considered it to be a "fast and easy" meal. My usual homemade lasagna recipe has to bake for at least an hour. I love it, but it's just not something I can whip out on a busy weeknight. So...I was shocked when I made this Skillet Lasagna Recipe that tastes so much like my regular lasagna, but ...

The second the chocolate dough hits your tongue, the super SALTY flavor will have you spitting it out immediately. Just ask my 3-year-old. He found out ...

They think it is hilarious when I seat them at the dinner table and ask to take their order. Today's pretend restaurant menu includes Ore-Ida® Waffle Fries. The waffle cut fries look just like the ones a real restaurant serves. Kids love to eat French ...

I picked up bag of cinnamon chips at the store last week even though I had no idea what to make with them. Cinnamon chips just sounded good at time. Have you ever bought the odd ingredient like that? You don't really need it, don't have any idea what to do with it, but you just grab it anyway. Lucky for me that I was asked to bake muffins for a kids reading party. Muffins are the perfect snack to serve when you read the children's book If You ...
