Easy Crock Pot Recipes: 2-ingredient Mexican Chicken
About a month ago I was so desperate to NOT have to go out to the grocery store for dinner ingredients that I decided to toss together the only things I really had on hand: frozen chicken breasts and a large bottle of salsa. I put them into my crock pot, turned it on and hoped for the best. A few hours later, I opened up the crock pot, used a fork to pull apart the chicken, and was very happy with the result. Perfectly easy shredded Mexican ...
Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe
Fun Fact: The average child will eat more than 1500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before he/she graduates high school. If I have nothing else in my pantry, I have peanut butter. It is a budget-friendly staple for my family, how about yours? We may not usually consider having Peanut Butter for Breakfast, but think about it. Peanut butter is a natural, plant-based source of protein and more than 30 essential nutrients. Weekday mornings ...
After School Snacks from A to Z. (26 recipes, one for every letter!)
The minute my kids walk in the door from school, they are sniffing for food. You'd think they had not had a bite to eat all day - but I send them a lunchbox packed with food, and it is always empty when they get home. So I know they eat - but by late afternoon, they are in desperate need of a refuel. I like to have after school snacks for them that won't ruin their appetite for dinner. And I try to avoid feeding them sugary sweets like ...

How to Dry Cherries in the Oven
I have always wondered if it was possible to dry cherries without a food dehydrator. Now I know. Yes, you can dry fresh cherries in the oven. It takes a few hours, but they shrivel up to look just like raisins. I like to add dried cherries to cookies, granola, oatmeal and cereal. They are so yummy and good for you. My grocery store was having a super deal on fresh cherries, so I brought home way more than we could eat. I didn't want them to go ...
Easy Snickers Cheesecake Bars Recipe

Today is National Cheesecake Day, so I couldn't resist bringing this deliciousness out of the blog archives! Are you a fan of Snickers candy bars? This cheesecake recipe is for you! My new favorite way to enjoy fun size Snickers bars is in a Snickers Cheesecake bar. Don't ...
French Dessert Recipes (inspired by Julia Child)
I love Julia Child's infamous cooking advice: Learn how to cook -- try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless and above all have fun. Cooking is not a skill that comes naturally to me. I envy those who can somehow whip up a gourmet meal out of thin air, without even using a recipe or measuring cup! Learning to cook is a lifelong goal of mine and Julia Child's advice reminds me to keep going, despite all my (many) kitchen ...
How to make Freckled Strawberry Lemonade

What could be equally as good as a glass of ice cold lemonade? Strawberry lemonade! You won't believe how easy it is to get those strawberry "freckles" in your lemonade using frozen strawberries.
